Name is JoJo, online handle is slugdog... I was born in Tennessee, raised in Alabama {ROLL TIDE!!!}, and now live in Texas. I learned how to barbecue from my Dad, starting in '58. He always used a cast aluminum grill, which I used once I was on my own, graduated to an offset horizontal, which I used for years, until my brother-in-law gave me a Masterbuilt digital.
Best thing for bbq since God created hickory! I was weaned on Boston Butts and pork ribs, but quit eating pork around '98, so now it's everything else. My Grandfather, from North Carolina, developed a vinegar based basting/bbq sauce around 1900, pasted it to my Dad, who passed it to me. I use the basting sauce to mop my meat, leaving about 1/2 inch to make my bbq sauce with. Everyone loves it. I have to drink beer when I cook, as I'm not sure I could bbq without it... Got a Grand-daughter's birthday coming up this next weekend, will have about 11 kin here, and gonna do Jeff's chuck roast burnt ends. I'll prepare by having a few beers each day til then {I'm retired}.
