Firefighter from Ohio. Originally from eastern North Carolina. Always been a huge fan of pig pickin's/hog roasts & lean heavily towards the vinegar based roasts. Have used a Napoleon pedestal charcoal grill for the past ten years (year 'round) until I recently had to lay it to rest. Looking to replace it with a charcoal grill again & was interested in the kamado grills until I saw the pk grill & it's reviews. I'm no expert but could stand for hours around a grill, learning & breathing the charcoal aroma of the food gods! Favorite steak hands down is a ribeye. Looking forward to hearing what interests other backyard grillers.

Welcome and God Bless on what you do.

You are one of very few people who actually have a real job, according to Charles Barkley.

Welcome!

Thank you on both counts! And if Charles Barkley said it, it must be true.

Welcome to The Pit mrgadgt . Glad you're here. You should look in to the Pit Barrel Cooker. I bought one in September and have had a lot of fun learning to use it. There is a ton of support for it on this site. Good luck with your decision!

Welcome! Great thing about this site is that it is "equipment agnostic". No snobbery here over brand or style of cooker. I love my Kamado Joe, great value for the money in a ceramic cooker. Also have a Weber gasser for quick cooking and I wouldn't turn away from a PBC or Weber Kettle/SNS combo either.

mrgadgt Welcome to the Pit! Everyone loves their cooker, and everyone has their strength and weakness. Making a choice involves what you are after most. Versatility? Low and slow? Grilling? I am a BGE guy with a Weber Jumbo Joe. I have my reasons. If you are interested I would be willing to share.
