Hello from Texas

November 11, 2023, 04:16 PM

New to the site and to smoking actually. Growing up my dad always had gas grills but once I got married my wife really wanted me to use charcoal. I have been using a Weber kettle for the past couple of years but have decided to step up my game from just grilling to smoking also. About to purchase a MasterBuilt Gravity 800 and I am extremely excited to start using it. Came across the Meathead book during my research (I do a lot of that before making purchases) and I am really enjoying reading through it to prepare. Hoping to learn a lot from it and from the members on this site. Looking forward to interacting with everyone and trying new things that y’all suggest.

Welcome from the northern Virginia burbs of the nation's capital. Hope you have fun here!

As far as suggestions, just be advised that there is nothing this group loves to suggest more than how other people should spend their money, especially on new cookers. Just saying.

I have no problem spending money. LOL. My wife is already not happy when she looks at the Amazon shopping cart and sees how much stuff I have waiting to be ordered for this new smoker. She wants the end results but not forking up all that money.
