Welcome from SC, Darren. I'm sure you will enjoy this site. Don't worry about getting answers to your questions. There are lots of folks here with tons of knowledge who are always ready to share ideas, tips, recipes or whatever you need. All you need to do is ask. Can you send some pics of your garden? It would be much easier to give you some tips if we could see what you have. Good luck, Joe

have a gas and charcoal bbq. Tryin to figure out best way to do the vents on the charcoal one. Tried a lump of beef yesterday with good success. Just a bit of salt, pepper and chile powder with a bit of apple and oak smoke. It was a good lunch in work today
