Taking the Plunge

June 9, 2021, 07:05 AM

I've been using and recommending the free site for over a dozen yrs and started feeling guilty about not supporting it so here I am. In fact Im shopping for an new smoker to add to my small collection of cookers and of course came to read the equipment reviews. Im excited about getting access to the discussions and picking up great tips.

Other Info
If not cooking outdoors, I am cooking on the stovetop with my 14" carbon steel wok, 12" CI skillet, or in the oven with my two Lodge CI pizza pans, or two dutch ovens. I've also got a nifty Lodge carbon steel grill pan that rocks for veggies outdoors.

Welcome to the PIT from the Lou! You should start a diary about your journey to choose a smoker and let us know how the adventure ends. Really? Well, YES! We all live for this kind'a stuff...

Really? YES!!
