Good Evening (Morning?)

[truckerbob]

Just wanted to stop in and introduce myself.  My name is Aaron, I live in the southwestern corner of New York, and I have a BBQ addiction.  My Avatar shows the 11# fresh picnic that is currently on my smoker at 1:20am local time.  My current rig is a Char-Griller 5050 with side box.  I also have 2 Brinkman water smokers.  I am currently building a rig from a 300 gallon round tank, and I'm planning on building a cold smoke smokehouse over the summer.

My oldest son trying his hand with the cutting torch... he's a better welder than a cutter!

Had to be some of the best pulled pork Ive ever had.  My only complaint was the yield wasn't what I had expected.  Once skinned, cooked down, and shredded, I dont think I got much more than 5lbs.  Its all good, next time I'll just make 2!
