Friendly New Guy in Kirkland, WA

[peety3]

Greetings, all.  I'm perhaps the newest (for the next 17 minutes) forum user, as a recent transplant to Kirkland WA.  The weather here is so much more conducive to grilling than sweaty San Antonio TX.  No grill yet, but I may fix that tomorrow with a Brinkmann Charcoal/Propane grill.  Can't decide if I want to add the smoker attachment right away or later.

HEY! Welcome to another WA smoker!  I'm just a bit south of you in Renton.  You will have a ton of fun learning here on the forum.  It's well worth doing some research to find what gear best fits your taste, budget, and smoking ambitions. Do a little searching around here in the supplies and equipment-you'll get great info and if you don't see what you need, just ask!  This is a great group of really helpful, fun folks.  CHEERS!

Welcome peety3!

Just make sure you get some kind of shelter for your bbq area. And a cover wouldn't hurt, either.
