Hello all! While looking at brick pit ideas, I happened across this forum. Why didn't I sign up a long time ago???
Some quick info about me:
My current daily driver is a GMG Prime. It's just easy.... I do miss cooking over coals though.
My background is in welding. I mostly ride a desk these days but still get to be around it sometimes.
I have built a number of smokers/cookers/barrels/grills over the years. Nothing too exciting though.
In the past I helped compete at numerous BBQ competitions. I was always the assistant, not the guy spending all the money. Regardless, I learned a lot and we had some respectable successes.
I'm a pepper/hot sauce junkie. Still waiting on my habaneros to come in out back.
Every fall I cook for a big party with as many as 300 or so guests. Typically butts because they're easy but I try to mix in something "special" each time too.
Favorite thing to cook and eat? Might be skirt steak churrasco style with extra spicy chimi right now.
About five years ago I found out I have Celiac disease. For any that are curious this means I can't have wheat, barley or rye in any form or amount, or my immune system goes haywire and causes internal damage. This has had a very big impact on our cooking habits, not to mention my beer drinking ambitions.
Anyway, thanks for having me!
