Greetings from San Diego

[JDeLaRosa]

Hello all,
Happy to be a part of this site... I've been cooking outdoors for about 7 years now. Started with a 26" Weber Kettle for grilling burgers and carne asada. I found this site a several years back and realized how versatile that contraption. Since then I've graduated to smoking turkeys, ribs, tri tip and pork butt. My wife bought me a 18.5" WSM last year and now I'm really cooking! I hope to learn even more as an active member.
Cheers,
Joseph

Hey Joseph, nice to meet you. Welcome!

Hey Joseph! Howdy neighbor! I'm in San Diego also. I have been cooking on a WSM 18.5" for years now and its great.

Iowa Meat farms and Seisels Meats are good places, I just want to make sure you've heard of Valley Farm Market out in Spring Valley. Cheaper than the others and fantastic quality meat. Never frozen. Enormous beer selection also I live downtown now but still drive out there. Anyway, good luck to you

Welcome JDeLaRosa! That 26" Weber seems like a nice sized grill, I'd like to own one myself.
