Hello from New York soon to be Texas.

[Mike the 19D]

I'm not new to smoking-I've done everything from whole hog to hot dogs. I cook everything but chicken on a large scale. I'm smoker crazy. I have classics like the JR Enterprise 23-60, Backwood Chubby, Weber Kettle and every other kind of outdoor cooking implement. Attached are some photos of my obsession

Welcome from Minnesota. Nice rigs and very nice looking cooks. Hopefully you get some idea from here

Greetings from MN and close to Canada. Give me a few months and it will be FL.

Great job on what you posted. Is Texas calling you? Tough competition down there.

Thanks for the welcome. There is nothing better than a long cook and some tunes.

Good morning and welcome from North Carolina. Is that 19D in your handle as in US Army Cavalry Scout? If so, thank you for your service.

Yes, I'm a retired 19D Cavalry Scout (21 years). On my profile I left out some equipment.
Weber Genesis 3, Camp Chef Smoke Pro Pellet, Vevor 36" Flattop, 2 Master Built Electric Smokers, A Nex-Grill 3 burner, only have a 10" slicer, 1hp Meat Grinder, and a dehydrator. I also have various weber attachments-rotisserie and santa-maria grill. How do you know about 19D

Welcome from Arkansas!

Welcome from Arkansas!

Thanks for the welcome. I figured I'd join in this forum because I like to Q. I've eaten BBQ in a lot of places, Fl, GA, SC, NC, KY, MO, OK, Tx, Mi, MS, AL, VA, NY, RI, MA, VT, CA, FRG, Saudi Arabia and probably a couple of other places I forgot about. It funny how different places like different styles of BBQ. in NC some residents cannot stand "vinegar pig". I look at BBQ like cigars-I'll keep trying different ones until I find the one I like best. And the great thing is I hope I never find the perfect cigar or BBQ-gives me a reason to keep searching for perfection.

Welcome! Are you moving to Texas?

 

[Mike the 19D]

In short yes. The Army sent me to San Angelo Tx. 45 years ago. The Mrs. is tired of the winters, so I made a joke about moving to San Angelo. She'd never been there so for her B-day she went for a visit. Been back twice in the last couple of years now we're getting ready for the move. San Angelo is a great place that no one knows about.

As for competition, I'll get a reverse flow H20 smoker-and enter a couple of lamb, goat or pork competitions on a local level. Wow close to Canada-My summer place was 15 minutes to Canada by ferry.
