Greetings from Illinois, I'm Neil

[the5006]

Hi all, glad to be here. Long time user of the site (ashamed it took me this long to become a member).

Quick to know about me, I’m in the burbs outside Chicago, I grill/smoke all year (nothing better than taking a break from shoveling to add more coals to the fire).

I started out using the site to learn how to properly cook steaks and since then has escalated my cooking drastically in many areas. So much more to master and look forward to the journey.

Welcome to The Pit the5006! Glad to have you here, thanks for the support. I really like your avatar! That is a pretty common scene at my table on my off-work days. I too smoke/grill in the winter and I love is just as much as summer, less bugs.
