    Hello from San Antonio, TX

    Hello fellow BBQ fanatics. I am excited to be a part of this community. I started grilling about 8 months ago on a Nexgrill propane grill. I recently purchased a Traeger Pro 575 pellet grill that I am very happy with so far. The brisket and ribs coming off the Traeger have been spectacular. Next things on my list are smoking/braising barbacoa (beef cheeks) on the Traeger and getting a charcoal grill. I am considering the Hasty Bake Legacy, though the price makes me question if it's truly worth the cost, so the Weber Kettle or Smokey Mountain are also on my radar.

    I am looking forward to learning more about BBQ from you all!

      Welcome to the Pitmaster Club! Thank you for the support.

      The Hasty Bake is awesome. They are a very high-quality grill/smoker. I do not know anyone that owns one and does not absolutely love it. (Including Meathaed) Charcoal is a great way to go. In my opinion, it is a great up grade when it comes to flavor and fun.

      Check out or article on the Hasty-Bake, if you have not already. We also a articles on the WSM and the Kettle too.

          Welcome from another Texan! You’ll have fun here and learn a lot maybe, I know I have. You can’t go wrong with a kettle grill, Weber or SNS. Very versatile cooker with lots of accessories available. A recent poll was done here by Troutman I believe the results were that 3/4 of us own a kettle (hope I’m correct) So, lots of advice available if you ever need help. Glad to have you with us!

                          Welcome to The Pit.

                          One thing to consider is that the Kettle has a ton of accessories available that greatly increase it's versatility.

                            The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It’s among the best bargains for a smoker in the world. This baby cooks circles around cheap offset smokers because temperature control is so much easier. Click here to read our detailed review and the raves from people who own them.
