HI:
Steve Vance here from Pelham, Alabama. About 1/2 way through Meathead's book. Thought I knew a lot. I don't know sh_t. Cooking on a Kamado Joe Classic smoker and a Weber Summit. I have been been happy with the smoker results, but I am just terrible trying to cook on a gas grill and wanted to get better. I think the book is going to help a lot and am looking forward to reading everyone's opinions.
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

Hi I'm fargon and I'm krazy. I believe that smoke makes everything better. Last Sunday I cooked a duck, asian rub and glaze, with apple wood smoke. YUM!!! My neihbor smoked a couple of racks of baby backs with his usual hot curry and Montreal steak seasoning. I have been smoking meat for 50 years, but I'm always ready to learn something new.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.
