    EdF here

    OK, you all managed to convince me to join.

    I started smoking meat in 1980 or so, burned or rusted out three cheap upright water smokers, then went equipment-less for a couple of years following a divorce. Got a BGE in 2002, which has held me to the current time, with a supplemental TEC Cherokee from when we were doing without a kitchen in 2014.

    I've loved to cook since maybe '72, have tried a lot of different things, from macrobiotic (70's) to BBQ brisket & etc to sous-vide to pressure-cooking to woks to BGE Neapolitan-style pizza, charcuterie/salumi, French and Chinese classics, "Food Lab"/Modernist, and most things across the spectrums between. It's the adventure of learning that matters - not to mention the results!

    Lived lots of places: CT, Northern CA, MA, now NJ with an eye on coastal ME. Have been fortunate to experience great Q across the south on business travel.

    Work as a professional cat herder (whoops, I mean software engineering manager / executive).

    I see a KBQ in my future along with a wood lot.

    Eat well, be happy, keep learning!

    Welcome to the Pit EdF ... I too have a BGE. We had a nice discussion about Kamado cookers here in the Pit over the last few months. We all learned new tips and tricks to become more informed. Mostly we compiled that information so any Newbie Kamado owner could read through it and drastically reduce their learning curve. You might want to read through those posts and see if there is any expertise you've acquired over the last 14 years you could add to those threads.

    I've baked lots of Neapolitan style pizzas on my BGE. Nothing more fun than cranking out great pizzas in 2 minutes or less.😋

    I look forward to seeing what you're cooking outdoors. When you can blend your indoor skills with your outdoor cookers things get very interesting and unique.👍

    Enjoy the Pit my friend.👌

    Welcome permanently EdF .... Technology and Security executive type here :-) ... Have lived in a ton of places myself. Whereabouts were you in NorCal? I'm originally from the Sacramento area and worked for EDS in Rancho Cordova for a long time.

      Silicon Valley. ;-)

      So I'm guessing having worked at EDS, you know all about herding cats!

      Herding cats was our motto every single day!

      Silicon Valley? That's not NorCal .... that's Bay Area ;-)

            Welcome to The Pit EdF! Nice to meet you, great intro! We appreciate your support here. Coastal Maine has to be gorgeous I would imagine.

              Well worth a visit someday. Check out the Penobscot Bay area and Acadia National Park. Not much Q there, but lots of great seafood.

              EdF ... AR is to outdoor cooking what StellaCulinary is to indoor cooking. I've been a member of both for a long time.👍
