West Central Florida checking in

[E.W.]

Hello all. New member here wanting to say hi. I'm located in west central Florida, due west of Tampa on our Gulf coast beaches. I'm not new to barbeque, but I am trying to learn some new ideas and techniques to help bring my "game" to the next level. I have purchased and read Meatheads book, but I want more, so here I am. I am not, or even that interested in, competition style cooking. I can sure appreciate it, but we are a backyard, beer drinking, no pressure family. I am really enjoying the scientific approach and how it is being applied. I currently cook on an XL-BGE and a Weber 26 kettle. My main interest is to learn as much as possible, with extra emphasis on poultry and seafood. Poultry is not my first choice, and I honestly have zero taste for seafood. I want to become a well rounded griller, but its hard to cook things you don't really enjoy. I want to be that guy on the "block" that has a full cooler of beer, and can cook damn near anything perfect. Cheers.
