My name is Justin and I'm from San Diego, CA.  I have worked in the hospitality/entertainment industry for about 15 years now.  I am a classically trained chef and currently work as a private chef and cooking instructor.  I have smoked before, but now it is a real obsession.  I started with a Char Griller Duo and now just recently purchased a WSM 22.5.  I'm actually seasoning it right now . FYI... my wife think's I'm crazy 

. 

I really am looking forward to learn more on this forum as well as give a little of my insight.  I know that BBQ is redneck cooking, but even a trained chef can kick back, enjoy a beer, and cook some five star BBQ.  I'm not there yet, but hopefully I will be soon!  

Happy smoking everyone,

Chef Justin
