    Newbie

    I just joined. Somewhat intimidated, but I want to move my BBQ repertoire to the next level. Have lived in Memphis for 15 years, moving from the Northeast. This moved dramatically changed my approach, techniques and understanding of BBQ. I'm mostly a weekender. I've returned to Weber 26" charcoal kettle after trying an offset and also use Slow N Sear insert after trying Smokenator. My reason for joining this group is to learn and take some risks.

              Welcome to The Pit Hsloves! I'm east of you about 200 miles, just outside of Nashville in Murfreesboro. I've been here about a year and have learned a lot. In fact, I've learned about everything I know about Q from folks here. You will find this to be a top notch place in every respect. Looking forward to hearing about your cooks and seeing your photos.

                    Intimidated? When you said Memphis in your intro probably a good portion of the members read on in envy. Welcome to a most helping, friendly bunch of pardners there is. Enjoy the ride.

                      Welcome Hsloves ! One thing you will appreciate here is that you can still take risks, but they're much more calculated than before. There are a ton of trusted recipes, but you also can get 20 different view points from people that have already made the mistake (or had the success) from their personal experience!

                          The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One


                          The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker, placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side. Click here to read our complete review.

                          The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy


                          The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It’s among the best bargains for a smoker in the world. This baby cooks circles around cheap offset smokers because temperature control is so much easier. Click here to read our detailed review and the raves from people who own them.

                          The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted


                          Napoleon’s 22″ Pro Cart Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It’s hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the 22″ Pro Cart a viable alternative. Click here for more about what makes this grill special.
