Hello from Yucca Valley, CA

[Thom Emery]

I am just north of the freeway near the auto dealers You doing construction in the High Desert? Back in the day I was the Budwiser guy from Monongo to 29 Palms What are you cooking on?

[Jerod Broussard]

Hi Thom, thanks for the welcome.
I get to Indio fairly often, Elms and HD Waterworks.

[Ivan Hyso]

Thanks Dave,
Really loving the site and all the work you guys are doing.

[Ivan Hyso]

You would be correct sir, leaves bruise for 6 months.
But really, Yucca Valley is in the Mojave desert, right next to Joshua Tree National Park, about 120 mi. due east of Los Angeles. Very rural - off road vehicles, horses, rock climbing are the main activities. And BBQ of course!

[Thom Emery]

I see yuccas. I see mountains in the distance. Yup, Yucca Valley.

True story. I spent a week there dropping troops in a HALO exercise while the wife shoveled snow off our driveway. She couldn't be made because, HEY, I had orders!

That was a fun week of flying, playing golf, and hangin out.

[Jerod Broussard]

Neat, I'm guessing until you run into one.

[Ivan Hyso]

Thanks Huskee,
It really is fun, especially when I got to the point where I could produce consistently good food on command. People seem to like it better when they get to eat at the time you tell them and the food they've been waiting for is worth the waiting.
Really can't say enough about this site and the great work you guys are doing here, it's made all the difference.
Your tutorial on posting a picture was perfect, worked just like you said it would.
Keep up the good work!

Welcome Ivan! It's great to read stories like this where people start getting BBQ requests, I think we've all been there. Fun isn't it? Sometimes you can just soak in the glory and let them think you just KNOW your stuff and didn't have to learn it. Other times you can share AmazingRibs.com, ha ha.

When you get a minute, check out Pit Boss' Welcome & Announcements channel, as well as the tips posts in that channel. These will help you learn your way around The Pit, as well as set up your signature. There's also a post that explains the best way to post nice big pics here... we like to see bragging pictures of equipment and your cooks. We look forward to hearing more from you! Enjoy!
