Intro - Who Let the Hogs Out !!!

[SmokeDawg]

New to "The Pit" !!!
Been cooking low and slow for many years on 22.5 WSM with great results, after being tuned in and turned on by J. Kass (Chicago Tribune and "Low and Slow"). Friends and family rave about the results... Pork, Beef, Chicken.
Lurked on AmazingRibs for several years, found and used great information that has enhanced my knowledge and results... recipes, science, technique.
Finally bought the book, "MEATHEAD," It was the right thing to do after free loading so long and didn't realize I'm practically a neighbor of Master Goldwyn (I too live in the Chicago burbs)
So... it's great to be alive, a carnivore, still crazy after all these years, and looking forward to expanding my knowledge, and possibly acquiring my next smoker... EOS vs KBQ (NOT looking for more advise Believe me when I say I have over analyzed the choice)
I get so excited EVERY TIME I think about smoking meat, that I can nearly literally taste it... and "feel the drool."

Welcome to The Pit SmokeDawg. It's great to have you here. Thank you for your support. I share your excitement about smoking meat, so much so that I hang around my BGE or Weber Kettle way more than needed during a cook, especially when the sweet aroma begins on a pork butt or rib smoke.

Since this is your first post, please check out our homework assignment post for new members. It contains a few how-tos and please-dos. This will help you learn your way around so you can get the best experience from our forum.

Also, it's very important that you add the domain AmazingRibs.com to your email safe list in case you are ever drawn as our monthly Gold Medal Giveaway winner!

Welcome to the Pit. From a very satisfied KBQ owner.

SmokeDawg ... "Possibly acquiring my next smoker". You will find that to be a VERY normal occurance for new Pit members. In fact we have a name for it actually. We call it MCS... More Cooker Syndrome.😆

Once you navigate around the Pit and see what the other Ladies & Gentlemen are cooking on, things you've probably never seen or heard of before, you will get the feeling of oh yeah, I've got to have one of those! Then you start buying accessories to go with it. You buy so much stuff you will eventually need a shed and/or you will need to expand your deck to accommodate your new cooker and stuff.

Don't worry, it's normal. It's also uncontrollable and incurable.😆 Just go with the flow.👍

Welcome to the Pit.👌

In my mind I'm acquiring the next 2 or 3 purchases! It's good to be prepared when the funds show up.

[Breadhead]

Fuzzy... Don't try to stymie your MCS. You got a big boy credit card?😆

SmokeDawg, maybe you should have listed your intro as, "freeloading to feel the drool"! Welcome aboard, enjoy the ride!

Welcome to fun in the Pit!

[SmokeDawg]

Thank you all for the welcome! I admit to MCS. I have acquired plenty of accessories including tricking out my WSM with wheels, lid hinge, and Auber temperature controller. That said I guess I will never know too much and look forward to the lively exchange with all you like minded folks.

fuzzydaddy I will certainly review the homework assignment more thoroughly. I already read it, and that's how I was able to set up my profile, and then "fire" off my first intro post.
