Howdy folks. My name's Ricc, and I'm from Nitro, WV. I'm a computer geek by day, and a musician at night, but I'm always a happily married father of 4. I've been BBQ'n seriously for about 10 years now. Usually it's for friends and family, but occasionally I get asked to for parties, wedding receptions, etc. For the moment the BBQ area of our back deck is populated by a couple Weber kettle grills and a hand-me-down chimney smoker of unknown origin, but I have a sneaking suspicion Christmas is going to change that. If not, I'll be upgrading sometime before next summer. Glad to be part of the group, as I've been reading around for a couple weeks now.
