What is my prize?????

[mrgrumpy]

I am the newest one right now.... what do I win?????

I consider myself a relatively new to the art of cooking on a charcoal/wood cooker/smoker. I have used a gasser for abt 20 yrs or so. More for the convience than anything else. My last gasser was a Brinkman ProSeries that is now abt 8 yrs old and still going strong. I purchased a CharGriller Super Pro with side fire box in January as a late Christmas early birthday present.

I have been smoking on it almost every weekend since then. Used the gasser abt twice since then.

I have done abt 4 briskets now, and really love them...

I am in NC.

A tag for my name is: I am grumpy because I can be.....

Bill

Welcome to the Forum Grumpy Bill. My wife calls "Grumpy" and my answer is the same as yours, "Cuz I can" then of course I have to giver her the challenge to 'un'-grumpy me. :shock: But since this is a family friendly site, I'll leave it at that :P. I have a grandson that calls me Grumpa-I've never corrected him on it 'cuz it sounds good to me!!

Like Scott said 'you're a winner'! I can't thing of a more knowledgeable site for smoking foods that this one right here and we're glad to have you in the family!

If only we could strike up the band and rain down balloons, I'm sure new members would feel even more welcome than they already do. Well I suppose you'll just have to close your eyes and pretend, hope you have a good imagination.

If that dosen't work read the posts in the joke section, they're always good for a little chuckle. Glad you found us and can't wait to hear from you in other posts.

Hello Mr. Grumpy!!
Welcome to the best smoking forum on the web! I'm also from NC originally and I know there is some fine BBQ there. I expecially love the flavor of the eastern NC BBQ. I grew up on it and I've tried so many times for so long to duplicate the flavor. I can come close but I just can't quite match it. I've enjoyed the Q in NC in Rocky Mt., Wilson, Lumberton and also in Charlotte at Church and School BBQs. As a matter of fact, I used to help my Dad prepare the Q for some of the socials including the political rallys. I was a youngster then and didn't pay as much attention as I should have. That's why I now struggle with the preparation of the meat.

Anyway, again, welcome and please post often and let us know how you are doing.
