So I realized I never introduced myself to everyone. I decided to take a few moments to do so. My name is Brody and I live in Idaho near Boise. I am a wanna be pitmaster and I stumbled on amazingribs.com while researching how to smoke meat. I've had some friends and acquaintances get into the hobby and entice me to do as well. My brother-in-law has smoked a pork butt and turkey during holidays and they were pretty good so I decided this was as good a year as any to begin myself.
I feel this group needed some representation from a state where cows outnumber people and farms still produce some good potatoes (and many other fine farm fresh food). I've only lived here for a few years and really lived off and on in Arizona for quite a while (I finally had to get out of the heat though I really liked Arizona). I grew up in Utah, Texas, California and Nevada. I've lived in Maryland as well. I'm been married for nearly 25 years (anniversary is this month) and I have five kids. I have three biological children and two adopted (I know I know, I'm crazy). I love my family and I work hard to provide. I switched careers at age 33 and it took me 8 years but I became a dentist. I love drilling and filling and I work in a public health clinic caring for the underserved and underrepresented communities here in the area (so I don't get paid that much but I sleep better at night).
I'm such a newbie when it comes to smoking meat and I've learned so much these last few months from everyone. Sometimes the advice I get allows me to make some excellent food. Everyone makes it look so easy. Sometimes it's like pulling teeth to get good results, pun intended. The struggle is worth the food! You guys are fantastic and I really like being part of this group. I look forward to continue to grow and develop.
