Hi everyone! I’m 43, happily married with 4 boys, and live in Bosque Farms, New Mexico. Despite my age, my BBQ adventure did not begin until May of 2020 when I was gifted a Camp Chef DLX pellet grill for my birthday. Since then, I’ve acquired PBC and BGE, basically working my backwards compared to most. So naturally I wanted to get my hands on an offset smoker but didn’t want to spend too much money on something I might not end up liking or having the time for. Luckily, I found an old Brinkmann Pitmaster Deluxe for $40 in pretty good condition which led me to SMF when I researched restoration and mod ideas. Down below is my little BBQ station and a before and after of my Brinkmann so far.

Glad to be here and meet you all!

Welcome from Colorado. Have family in Farmington. You did some nice work on that cooker. I have almost the same one and it’s modified too.
 
Welcome from Mississippi. I did some time in Roswell (as a nurse, not jail) several years ago. Absolutely loved my time there and exploring NM. Look forward to more posts and pics.

I'm sure Roswell has changed a lot since you crashed your space plane in 47 Jim.

LOL! The saucer shaped McDonalds was a big hit. It hooked me on green chili burgers!
