Greetings! My name is Dan, and I am from Lake Stevens, WA. I've been grilling and smoking off and on for 15 years, but after cruising the threads here I see there is much much more to be learned! As for equipment, I'm currently stuck with just a kettle grill after my father in law requested<demanded> that I give him his Brinkman side box back. The search for a replacement brought me here, and now I'm busy making a wish list for the Boss Lady. I look forward to many tasty tips and helpful hints from this gathering of geniuses!
