First off, this site was a treasured find for me, lots of good info, and a great bunch of people. Well, I just turned 52, 7 kids, 6 grand kids and well, a bunch of long grey hair. Always been pretty big, so the knick name BEAR fits. I like to hunt, fish, trap, camp and just about anything outdoors. We have a small 18 acre woods, with a cabin that overlooks the creek. Now to the good part, FOOD, I love to cook (and eat). My wife says I have way to many indoor appliances, how can that be, if it makes food and you don't have one, then you need it. My outdoor cooking weapons consist of 3 offset smoker-grills, 1 weber kettle, 2 deep fryers (1 alum, 1 stainless), old brinkman smoker (wife says it needs buried), 2 fire pits and my latest addition is a gas powered smoker. Wife thinks I'm crazy and go overboard with the world of cooking :roll: , could she be right? I will try and contribute where possible, and really appreciate the wealth of knowledge on this site. BEAR
