    Old guy from Central Texas...

    Just discovered this site a few days ago and have fallen in love with it. I have also purchased the book and am using it as a text book during my daily contemplation period... I have been playing with smoke and fire for more years than most of you have been alive...

    Retired IBM field techy living on 250 wooded acres nestled in Central Texas. I had 4 years in the Navy, 30 years with IBM and 31 years doing whatever I have wanted... Still hanging onto the same wife after 66 years... At the moment of writing I am 87 and on no prescription drugs... I might add we are dog nuts(as in crazy) having had well over fifty over the years and currently sleep with 9 rescues and 1 wife.... The dogs and sometimes the wife, take turns sharing the bed... Not a bad life!

    I might add my outdoor kitchen consists of 2 Camp Chef 3-burner stoves, a Lyfe Tyme offset smoker, a Vision Kamado, 24" wok on its own stand, a turkey cooker on its own stand, 2 tripods for over the coals cast iron cooking (Over a hundred pieces of cast iron to chose from), 3 freezers and two refrigerators... My knives are varied and sharp...​

      Yep! I used it in chili cook offs back in the younger years... I now use it as a cover for my 20" Lodge CI skillet that just happens to fit the burner perfectly...

            The dogs limit themselves but it is not at all unusual to have five of them join us, and several of them ain't small dogs...

            I grew up in Temple, left in 1954 for the Navy... I married a Belton girl while in the Navy. We spent 20 years in purgatory, Houston, and returned to Belton in 1983. Our place is surrounded by Belton but we are still in the county...

            It is not photogenic since it is mish-mash of stuff gathered over the years!

          Welcome to the Pit JoeDorn! My father grew up "near" Belton, outside of College Station.

          Based on your intro, it looks like you have and still are living life to the fullest. Cheers! 🥂
