Thank you everyone for the honor. This site is a wonderful tool for each of us to use to share our knowledge, experiences, triumphs, and tribulations. I have learned SO much since joining this site. I only hope I can impart a third of that wisdom onto new members so they can perfect their barbecue skills.

And now for an anecdote from my life, I began reading at an early age and as such, was a much better speller than other kids my age. During the 3rd grade I was entered into a spelling bee where I won my school competition and went on to the county spelling bee. I made it to the final two, but I hit a snag... My word. Spell "Barbecue". Now we all know and love barbecue, but it tormented me in the third grade because I spelled it "Barbeque", just like I had seen it on so many Que joints throughout the south! I was WRONG and lost, and such began my quest to perfect "Barbecue". I have never misspelled it since then, unless on purpose, and my quest to perfect my "barbecue" is still not complete, although the spelling portion seems to be pretty much down now. Anyways, 30-something years later, whenever I type the word Barbecue, I remember back to my 3rd grade spelling bee where it got the better of me, now thanks to this site 30 years later, I am getting the better of it!

Congrats Zardnok! You deserve it!

Great story too. Butt know i musts whatch mi speling. :)

I really enjoy stories about the people "behind" the smoke. Little more personal than just pics & recipes. Gives me a good idea about the person.

StarsFan I probably would have spelled it "Good"

I'll nominate ya goat. Don't know if I am a respected member of the order, but a member none-the-less.

Goats posts are informative and judging by his website, he has plenty of experience in the TBS.
