Welcome to the Pit from the deep south of New Jersey! It is a tremendous resource. Also, love the Hudson Valley area. Was supposed to be heading to Kingston this week but plans fell through.

Thank you all for the warm welcomes, Hulagn1971, texastweeter, and bbq_esq. North Carolina, Texas, and New Jersey all checking in, I appreciate it. bbq_esq, sorry the Kingston trip fell through, the Hudson Valley is worth the trip when it works out, especially this time of year. Glad to be here and learning from all of you.

Ha, Allon, you got me. Not my favorite movie, but the smoke signal name did make me grin when I picked it. Thanks for the laugh and for the welcome here.

SundaySmokeSignal see how your name is in red? And you received a notice that SheilaAnn mentioned you in a post? Put the @ symbol before anyone’s handle and that will happen! It is case specific. Spaces and other symbols matter, too. Always add a space after the last letter of the handle. 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
