Hello from Michigan

April 26, 2023, 09:47 AM

I finally stopped window shopping and got the membership. I've been using AmazingRibs.com as a bbq/grilling resource since around 2008 and I contribute this site to getting me to where I am today. I'd say my skills a better than average, but I'm always learning new things. My current set up is a Hasty Bake Legacy 131 (New), Weber Genesis E-310, Masterbuilt 1050 Gravity Fed charcoal. Grilla Grills Silverbac, and a Blackstone 36" griddle. I'm really looking forward to getting to know everyone. Phot is from a ribeye I cooked on my new Hasty Bake last night and it did not disappoint.

l Appreciate it. Michigan weather has been a bit bi-polar this year (like it's any different any other year lol). I'm looking forward to contributing, learning, and seeing everyone else's awesome cooks.

Sorry, I implied I was near the border. I grew up southwest of Indy and now I live on the northeast side of Indy in Fishers, IN.

I teach high school with several people from "The Region."

Right on. Never got down to the Indy area much. We would always shoot over to Chicago since it was closer.

Thank you, my wife would say otherwise lol. I just have to gently remind here that she doesn't complain when the food is being served.
