Greetings from Orlando

[McMastodon]

Hello people of the universe! I can't say enough about this community and how it has made me into an amazing 'Meat Master'

I live just outside Orlando, work all around the country in aviation and I'm an avid musician. I have a future wife who is always impressed with the delicious meats in which I bestow upon her thanks to Amazingribs.com!!


So, I have been using this website for awhile now. I used it a few years ago to smoke some ribs on a commercial size smoker at a house I was renting and they came out amazing!

Fast forward to about 2 months ago when I purchased my first charcoal grill(Webber 22" Kettle). Up to that point, I either didn't own a grill or had a cheap gas grill that I only cooked burgers on.

I remember how much information was on this website and it only took me a few seconds to find it.

I have purchased thermometers(Thermapen,ChefAlarm), meats, the Slow 'n Sear and other products based off of the recommendations of this website.

I wanted to thank everyone who runs the website and puts in their time to make this what it is. I purchased Meathead's book and became a member in hopes that my $ will further this great cause.


Up until I found this website, I had only ever grilled burgers, and the occasional steak. (albeit, not a properly cooked, reverse sear, steak)

Here's some pics to share what I've done so far. THE best Ribeye steak I have ever had, and a pork butt that rivaled the local 4Rivers BBQ here in Orlando.

It looks delicious so I have a question - what sauce did you finish the pork with? Definitely dark on the bun and it looks great. Not overly sauced but moist looking.

[McMastodon]

I originally made them without sauce, so I wouldn't be distracted by sauce. But, the second batch of sandwiches were made with Stubs Spicy.
