I can't say exactly when I was bitten by the BBQ bug. Maybe 7-8 years now. It started with chicken, moved quickly to brisket, then on to one of my favorites pork chops. Lately though it has all been about ribs, loins and BBR. I use Meatheads Memphis Dust. All of the smoking has been done on one of my 3 22" Weber Kettles. I love those grills. I've been hooked on them since I rescued two of them from a dumpster in front of the Weber plant after they had a fire. That was a long time ago!
I am looking forward to learning the fine points of this craft (with all of your help)
