Northwest former chef

[BurgerBurner]

Hello all! I am a former chef from the Northwest, specifically Seattle Wa. I have been grilling/smoking all sorts of things for the last decade or so. I have also traveled the states sampling the great BBQ offerings from sea to shining sea. I haven't been grilling/smoking lately though as my HOA wont let me use my smoker or charcoal grill, so my search for my first gas grill lead me here. Time to move. On another note, what a site! I look forward to meeting all of you lot and talking food and fire.

Welcome BurgerBurner. Looking forward to learning from you, and seeing photos of your cooks. Hope you get to a place where you can use your smoker/charcoal grill. We just purchased a home in a hoa and one of the first questions we asked was if charcoal grills were allowed. Fortunately they are.

Great to have an another professional chef like Strat50 on the forum. We will have plenty of questions for you. Sounds like your HOA is made up of a bunch of Vegans!

BurgerBurner, Seattle isn't that far from Portland so I imagine some road their bicycles North to educate the unenlightened?

So sorry about your HOA! I hate them, although mine so far a has been no problem.

Welcome to the pit@BurgerBurner from Houston, Alaska! There are a ton of great folks here.
I'm sorry to hear of your HOA issues. I thank my lucky stars I don't have to put up with that BS where I live. Of course, there are the chainsaws, pit bulls, meth labs(now switching over to heroin houses), and so forth. I look forward to any input you might present, as well as the spirited discussion(s) that ensue.

Sounds like where I live too, sadly.

After chasing a few off the property, and knowing we do not play around, they leave us severely alone. We're very nice and hospitable, until its time not to be nice. Works like a charm...lol
