Hello from Golf Heaven (HSV) Arkansas

[bigfoote]

My name is Frank, I have a large and XL Big Green Eggs, a Fire Magic Elite Magnum gas grill, and a DCS double burner. The XL BGE is in a nest that has been modified for extra stability and support, the rest is built-in. I mainly smoke babyback ribs, Boston Butts, brisket, Kansas City Style BBQ Beans with Pork Burnt Ends (that you can serve with an ice cream scoop), prime rib, beef tenderloin, pork loin, chicken, turkey, ABTs, and I've even done some cold smoked cheese.  I also grill meat and vegetables, usually on my gas grill  I started cooking when I was 11, but I didn't start smoking until my late 20's.  I'm looking forward to learning all I can to improve my skills.  When I'm not cooking, I'm usually playing golf.

Thanks.  The forum is very user friendly and I've already learned some new things, and gotten ideas for smoking.

Frank,

Welcome to the SMF party.  We have some old friends who live at HSV and I understand it's a great place.

Curt.

I want to thank everyone for their warm welcome.  Everyone seems really nice, and the forum is more user friendly than others I experienced.

Big Andy A, you understand correctly, Hot Springs Village is a great place to live.  We have 9 golf courses and 12 lakes.  We have the number 1, 3, 4, and 7th ranked courses in the state, and the cost for unlimited golf with a cart is less than half what I paid in Baton Rouge 8 years ago.  (That's why we call it "Golf Heaven".)  The lakes are very clean and clear with very good fishing.  I can't think of a better place to retire to than HSV. 

Anyway, I'll stop the advertisement and just say again, thanks for the warm welcome.
