New guy from Nebraska

[skullandbones]

Hello to all and thanks for having me!  Obviously I live in Nebraska, have all of my life except for a few years with the Army (Desert Storm, so yeah, I'm old).  I've always been a decent cook, but started bbq about 20 years ago when my wife bought me a cheap bullet style smoker.  Been hooked ever since.  Over the years I've gone through at least 2 of those bullet style cookers and I've lost count of how many of the cheap off-set style smokers I've gone through.  So this past fall I went out and bought an expensive electric pellet type cooker...I thought it was expensive anyway.  It's a 'Louisianna Grill' (made in Canada, go figure) but I love it.  I'd always considered it to be "cheating" somehow to have an electric, but what can I say, it's made life alot easier lol.  And it's versatile, I can cook steaks at high temps or slow cook a pork butt all day long at 225.

Anyway, looking forward to learning more about the q from all of you guys.

Hello SkullandBones, and welcome to the SMF family!  Nothing wrong with those pellet burners...lots of members here cook on one, including myself (I own a Rec Tec).  Join up to our Pellet Smokers Group if you're interested...there're occasionally some good discussions over there:
