Welcome John. I am from the San Francisco Bay Area. Cupertino hills to be precise. I can see the Apple headquarters from my dining room window.
You will learn a lot on this site from the forum posts and the many great articles. Sorry, your cookers didn't work out for you. The ceramic eggs are very prized by their many devotees on this site. I don't have one but have cooked on them. The learning curve on BGE (acronym for the Big Green Egg) is a bit steep. Was your Weber a Kettle? They are much easier to learn than most cookers and are very capable.
I have seven cookers and, if I could only have one, it would be the kettle because it is so easy to use and versatile. Not much you can't do on a kettle, including smoking low and slow.
The folks here are very friendly and helpful. Don't be afraid to ask a question. And when you do, you will usually get lots of opinions!Last edited by briano52; February 4, 2026, 08:42 PM.

Welcome from Wisconsin. Glad you could join us.
You might consider getting a Weber Smokey Mountain. You can find them used pretty easy. From there we have lots of folks that can help you improve your BBQ game.
May as well get MCS started early.
