Hey fellow smokers!
Location: North Alabama
History: I've been doing pork ribs, butts, steaks, chickens and more for family and friends for about 30 years. I love grilling, smoking, frying and cooking in general. I also frequently use a sous-vide and an insta-pot. I love doing steaks in the sous-vide then finishing in cast iron with bacon grease. I recently did some smoked scorpion ghost wings and they were righteous.

I remember going with my daddy in the mid-60s to buy a grill. We came home with a 30" Webber kettle (no longer available to my knowledge). He used that grill until the legs fell off. I guess that got me hooked. He would fire that webber up every Sunday afternoon and have a cocktail while the grill got hot for a t-bone. He eventually got tired of it and was going to chunk it so I took it off for him and had a stainless table made to hold it. I used that grill for years afterwards and finally had to let it go in 2016. It was like saying goodbye to a lifelong friend. They just don't make grills like they used to.

Grills: BGE, Solaire, Webber Kettles, Masterbuilt cabinet smoker, (modded to be electric).

Anyway, I digress, greetings to all. I hope to learn some tips from the forum and make some new friends.
