Joined last week. I've been enjoying Meathead's book for a few weeks. I'd consider myself a pretty serious Harold McGee fan, having worn out one copy of On Food And Cooking. My gear consists of a Weber Genesis Silver 'C' and a Masterbuilt gas smoker. I've been doing sous vide for a couple of years and also have a Viking Range (all of my friends bought Harleys when we hit our midlife crisis, I bought a stove.
I'm pretty happy with how my cooking turns out, but the process of calibrating my smoker and grill to 225 and 325 has really helped. For my birthday my wife just got me the Thermoworks Therma Q 2 probe model. I already had the Chef Alarm and Thermapen.
I live in Santa Rosa, California, and work for the County. Besides cooking I play bass semi professionally (anything that pays, plus Celtic and folk) and do some photography on the side.
Looking forward to kicking my pitmaster chops up a few notches. Next step is building a wood pit smoker as there is a great local source for wood.
My main project in the future is remodeling the back yard; I have a vision for building an outdoor cooking center with a pit, gas lines to power grill and smoker and a SERIOUS flame for wok cooking (which I really love doing).
Thanks!
