Good evening,
My name is Jeremy and I live in the small town of Colby, WI (also the home of Colby Cheese). I have been a member for over a year, and finally got my stuff together to introduce myself.
I am a newcomer to the smoker/cooker scene, but have been mastering my backyard gas grill for the last 15 years.
I was investigating new things to cook on the grill when I came across Amazing Ribs. I immediately knew I found my new (and still to this day) favorite website. Shortly after one of the owners of the machine shop I work for threw an old fuel oil barrel in the dumpster, and the idea for "The Beast" was born. Over the next couple of months I created my reverse flow offset smoker/cooker complete with a steering axle and dedicated trailer. Mind you at this point I have never attempted smoking anything before.
In December of 2014 I took my creation on our maiden voyage. I decided to start with something easy and made an Ultimate Smoked Turkey for Christmas dinner. As everyone knows the meal is ready when the meat says so and this was no different. The turkey ended up about a half an hour late, and I was being reminded what felt like every minute! Fortunately everything was forgotten as soon as the meat hit the table. It was an instant hit. My first recipe from Amazing Ribs was a success and my grill creation proved it wasn't a failure.
Since then I have cooked ribs, brisket, prime rib, and almost everything else on the grill. Using different tips and tricks I have read on Amazing Ribs and some of my own design ideas I am able to run the cooker year round. It has been fired up from 14 degrees below zero to 90 degrees above. I added a propane tube burner to help with preheating the metal while the charcoal is starting, but I will only cook with a mix of charcoal and wood.
I have grown my cooking tools to include a Weber 22" premium, a 44" Smoke Hollow smoker to handle the smaller projects, a Maverick et733, a Thermopop, and various other bought and hand made trinkets to help with all the fun.
I would like to take a second to thank you for putting all the effort you do into Amazing ribs. It is a great resource that I like to share whenever I have a chance.
