Hi from Louisiana

[SteveEd]

At least I think I'm in Louisiana. After last night's El Nino show I think I've been blown over to the east coast. I'm from Lafayette, LA which is probably better known as a suburb of Jerod Broussard's childhood home of Riceville, LA. (BTW, Jerod, my first job was on my uncle's rice farm near Crowley.) I've been a parttime BBQer for several years. I switched to the WSM in 2006 and just recently bought a Pit Barrel Cooker. I love them both. I also have a Weber Summit which I don't use much but can be good for quick grilling when needed. I also enjoy rotisserie chicken on the Weber. Hope that's not too offensive to BBQers.

I've been learning from this site for a few months and the advice has been a big help. My friends and family actually believe I know what I'm doing.

Best wishes to all of you for 2016.

Steve

Welcome aboard, Steve. I must say that I have some pretty fond memories of Lafayette. I spent quite a lot of time there in the 90's and basically ate my way through the area whenever I was there (everything étouffée!) ...

Welcome to the Pit. As I told the other feller that joined in today, be wary of some the old timers in this club. Cause you won't know what they will have you grillin/smokin. Enjoy the ride.

Thanks to all of you. Huskee, I did my homework. Fireman, I think I'll fit right in with the old timers:

What's the difference between a Cajun zoo and most any other zoo?
The Cajun zoo has recipes on the cages.

Bring it on!
