Intro: SE PA to SoCal, BGE to KBQ

[jjdbike]

Hello everyone,
I'm a teacher, fishermen, husband and grandfather who loves to cook, especially que. I currently have an upgraded generic large BGE. I've been cooking on to for 10 years. We're preparing to move from south eastern PA to (unfortunately) southern California (long story). When I say generic BGE I mean not a genuine, but a pretty good fake. When I say upgraded. I mean I enlarged the hole of the dome thermometer and added a larger Tel-True w/ a longer probe. I also upgraded the gasket to a Rutland braided gasket. I'm gifting it to a friend and will replace it in CA w/ a genuine BGE. I am also in the process of looking for a used KBQ. I do brisket, butts, ribs, kabobs & paltry on my BGE. Looking forward to getting that magic TBS from 100% wood fire on the KBQ.
I also look forward to sharing recipes, tips and experiences w/ all of you.
Best regards!
JD

Yes, however, I love the seasons. Snow is fun.

Welcome to the Pit from southwest Florida. Hope your move goes well and you are successful on your KBQ search.

I'm a refugee from Chicago. You can trust me on this, the lack of snow is more fun.
