Hey thanks everyone. Well heres some info about me incase I can help give to the group. I went to culinary school after high school, didnt finish but I got what I wanted out of it. I ran a few steak houses over the years and went back to my old stand by job of puoring concrete, started with my Dad when I was about 8 years old (I think i was mostly in the way). Now Im a decorative concrete contractor, somewhere in there I spent 15 years in the Carpenters Unikon mostly doing form work. So I pour concrete countertops, sinks, furnature ect. Im working on building a a pre-cast pizza oven 40" I.D. for under $1000.00, thats cheap if I can source my materials localy.
Ive had a few smokers in the past and curently have a gas vertical water smoker, but looking at something bigger to get in to competitons BBQ. I probly have the same stuff as everyone else like turkey fryer a big ass gas grill (with a fridge built in it ;) ) keg-o-rater (5 taps) 10 gallon all grain brewery, and the desire to build all kinds of stuff that I want, I mean NEED and drives the wife crazy. Any one have a thought about a Caja-China pig cooker, thats high on my list to make.
So, Im sure I'll get a lot of info from everyone and hope to be able to share as much back.
Anyone have some info on smoked salt?
