Cheers from Chicago

November 4, 2023, 08:36 PM

Just wanted to pop in and say hello. Located in Chicago by way of WV. Been smoking for years, but have turned far more serious about it in the past 4 or so years. In the past year or so, it has turned into almost an obsession. As an engineer by profession, I appreciate Meathead’s science minded approach to bbq. That was a major factor in bringing me to this site. I look forward to browsing and getting to know everyone. Cheers!
