Afternoon Y’all! Wanted to get to the pics first to appease the masses I hope. I’m another one of those looong time lurkers that is finally joining up to help contribute to the place that has been a go to for me for so long. I’ve got some friends on another forum I frequent that are members here and they finally pushed me over the edge to join up.
First off, Thank you


Goal is to make the carousel one day
Cliff notes about me:
Born and raised in Nebraska (Western side). Was in the Navy for a while. Met a Texan along the way and married her. Got out and now reside in Austin behind enemy lines…
Smokers:
Spent years utilizing the Char-Griller Duo with mods found from here til it caught a grease fire. The fire wasn’t bad, but it cleaned all my flavor and protectant and then very quickly rusted out after that… It had a good run of over 10 years iirc.
Picked up the Masterbuilt Extra Wide Propane smoker on sale and immediately changed the feed line out with a better needle valve for control. Worked fine, but just not a fan of propane smokers after having it for a bit.
Next stop was the Weber 26” which I LOVE. I also just yesterday got a 22” weber locally for $10. Just needs cleaned, but couldn’t pass it up.
A few months ago I took the plunge into the pellet pooper world and after tons of research I wound up with the above Pitts & Spitts Maverick 1250. Phenomenal Smoker! Most of the Q above is from that. I haven’t gone the route of the A-Maze-N setup up, but haven’t seen the need so far. There isn’t a ton of info on the forums about the P&S, so if anyone has questions, hopefully I can assist.
I look forward to trying to pay back this community as best I can after all the years of help/lurking.
Not sure what else to ramble on about… so I’ll quit typing for now.
