    Another new guy saying hi

    I came across this site a few months ago, and have found myself coming back to it so often it would just have been wrong not to join up! I'm in my sixties, and have lived in California these last twenty years, lots of other places before that. I've been grilling on charcoal since I was a teenager, which means I've got about half a century in on that. But, I learned recently that my wife would really prefer a gas grill (forty years...), so I've got one (Weber Genesis) sitting in a HUGE box in the garage. I'm somewhat daunted that there are actual YouTube videos on how to put it together.

    I've divesting myself of my -- let's call it "vintage" -- 22" Weber kettle, though I'm keeping the Smokey Mountain smoker just in case. I'm very enthusiastic about the new gas grill, since I'm not the most patient guy in the world. I'm also a good conventional cook, and I think I'm going to like the control that gas gives you. I also expect to have lots of questions, so I beg everyone's indulgence in advance. Very happy to be here.

    Welcome to the Pit! You're going to love the Genesis. I bought an EP-330 about a year ago then paired it with a pit barrel cooker shortly thereafter ... a formidable combo ...

          Welcome man. I wouldn't worry about the YouTube video there are probably YouTube videos on how to sharpen a pencil.

                    Welcome to the pit Baltassar ! I see in your post that you have learned the same lesson that I have learned after 38 years of marriage. There are not, in fact, three most important words that a wife needs to hear. There are only two! Yes Dear!!
