Hello All,
I have been reading articles on Amazing Ribs for the last 3 or 4 year. I finally took the plunge and joined. I love all the information and science shared on the site. Also everyone here appears very helpful and down to earth, unlike so many others forums on the net. I’m from a western suburb of Chicago.
I have been grilling on and off since my teens, a long time. About 10 years ago I began taking grilling more seriously. I saw Steven Raichlen on TV which fueled the fire and I began trying to smoke on a 22†Weber. At some point I ran across amazing ribs and purchased a Smokenator and a first generation PartyQ, probably while I was searching the net for ideas on building a smoker. Not to long after I ended up meeting my now wife. Long story short my smoking hobby took a back seat for a several years. Anyhow as #23 said – I’m back!
My wife is from Mexico and it has opened a whole new culinary avenue for me. One of the great things is seeing the food fusion going on, pulled pork tacos just as an example. I need to knock off the rust and further develop my skills. For years I have thought about competing in a BBQ competition. After some research it seems within reach (Never new about the "backyard" type divisions). It just sounds fun to me.
Thoughts and prayers go out to all affect by the tragic event in Orlando.
