Hey y'all, Lee here from Jonesboro, Arkansas. Just joined up and figured I'd start here like the FAQ says.
Barbecue's been in my family a long time. My dad, Jim Quessenberry, cooked competition back in the '80s and won the Irish Cup, International BBQ World Champion, in Ireland in 1985 and again in 1987. He passed in 2000, and my brother Michael and I have kept his pits going ever since.
Full disclosure so nobody's surprised later: our family makes a barbecue sauce and a couple of rubs, and we ship every bottle ourselves. I'm not here to sell anything, though. I'm here to cook, learn some new tricks, and swap notes with folks who love this as much as I do.
These days my go-to is a Weber kettle running indirect. I've got a Traeger on the patio for easy cooks, and for competitions my brother and I run a custom smoker built from an old oil tank. He swears by his barrel smoker for brisket.
Glad to be here. Looking forward to learning from y'all.
