Hi from east central Ohio

April 13, 2022, 01:23 PM

Heard a lot about this page from listening to Meathead on the BBQ Nation podcast. I’ve always used propane grills and electric smokers until October I finally got a Weber kettle. It’s definitely been a learning experience. Seemed like the first month I was either running temps way too high or way too low. Finally got that dialed in mostly, picked up a rotisserie add-on and loving it! Hoping to pick up some solid recipes and techniques here. Glad to be part of the community!

Howdy from Houston and welcome to The Pit, glad you joined us. Congrats on the kettle purchase, most of us here have one also, they’re great. Have you considered, or do you have, the SnS insert or a Vortex to use with it?

And yes we do have a page here with the most commonly used acronyms, I still use it occasionally. I was lost too when I first got here. I’ll post a link for it also.

Here are some commonly used abbreviations, both in the BBQ world and outside of it. Some are just for fun. Feel free to comment and add any you feel might help contribute. ABT- Atomic Buffalo Turds (tasty grilled treat) AC-DC- Alternating Current-Direct Current AFK- Away from Keyboard AFAIK- As Far As I Know AKA- Also

MCS stands for More Cooker Syndrome. The longer you’re here, the more stuff you buy.

Continued…MCAS stands for More Cooker Accessories Syndrome. Resistance is futile. Trust me. When I first joined Amazing Ribs I lived in a mansion. Now I live in a van down by the river.

Subtly. Subtly? Hmm. Not a word I’ve associated with you. And I don’t think I’ve seen it and you in the same sentence.

Welcome from Winnipeg. The Weber is a fantastic machine, bet it wont be long though till you add accessories like the SNS mentioned above, and then move on to wanting more cookers.
