Greetings From Wisconsin

[mudhate]

Hi-
My grill life began in 1962 when my father was able to score a Yellow Ambassador Weber kettle from our next door neighbor who was the steel supplier for Weber. My dad could grill and smoke everything to perfection and his art spread to me and my two older brothers. I ran a 22" Weber kettle with a Smokenator and a Weber Silver B for years. Fast forward, I went to a plant based vegan diet for 3 years until I moved from Illinois to Wisconsin, the land of beer & cheese. I forgot the vegan diet after I had my first bratwurst and cheese curd order at a local watering hole. Needles to say, years later with multiple Performers, a WSM and a WSK E6 I'm back in the game. I enjoy this site with all the great information and recipes that everybody shares.

Thanks much, Kevin from Wisconsin

mudhate Welcome to The Pit Kevin from Alabama - glad to have you onboard!

This is one of the best places on the web to help you improve your grilling, smoking and overall cooking game, bar none, regardless of how long you've been at it. I know my BBQ and cooking in general has improved since I joined in 2017, despite the fact I've been smoking and grilling since the 80's.

I've still got a Weber Silver A (the 2 burner version of your 3 burner Silver B), but recently loaned it out to one of my kids. I also have a Performer, so we've got that in common. While the Land o' Cheese is one of the few states I've not checked off in my travels, a bratwurst with cheese curds sound amazing!
