[moward]

I've been a medical laboratory scientist for just over 6 years.

During my long college career, I was a cook for almost 10 years.  Basically I can cook everything and anything.  I would have to say, smoking is a totally different animal all together.  Sure I can cook a mean steak, but BBQ'ing tasty tender brisket is a different sport.

If I were to leave the lab, I would probably open my own restaurant...it would be one of those awesome everything from scratch kinda places like you see on Triple D (Diners, Drive-in's and Drives)

BBQ is like golf...you never master it and you are always tinkering with either your swing or your BBQ rub....

[timleo]

Civil Engineer with 20 years of heavy construction experience. 

I oversee all aspects of construction projects in the $3 million to $15 million dollar range.  Lots of earth moving projects and water treatment plant construction projects. Lots of complicated problem solving on the fly.  I learn about the automation aspects of water treatment plant projects and apply the automation to control my charcoal smoker...my wife says I should build bbq's for NASA.  She might be overstating that but it's all fun.

It's not WORK when you like doing it.
