Hi, my names josh, I'm 24 and live in the southern piedmont area of north carolina. I've been lurking here for quite a while now and since I have my first competition coming up in the spring I thought I would join up and get serious.
I have an Oklahoma Joe and a larger trailer mounted cooker. I call it a cooker b/c that's what it is. It's not a "smoker" but it has cooked many a butt and briskit without any complaints. I will hopefully be adding another small smoker to the arsenal sometime soon.
The event will be under the KCBS rules but will not be sanctioned. I will be competing for grand champion which will include pork, pork ribs, chicken and brisket. I love cooking and bbq'ing but haven't never competed and after some encouragement from friends and family I decided to try it.
So prepare to see me ask lots of questions and for the onslaught of pics that are sure to come from all the practice smokes I will be having in the coming months.
Thanks for such a great forum and the overwhelming wealth of knowledge!
