    njedward at your service

    I’m Nate Edwards. Been a member of the site for a while, but had forgotten I had posted a question about Apple Pie Shine back in August until a few days ago when I was poking around the site for something. Thanks for the reminder to introduce myself, Mr. Moderator!

    Me: Husband of one awesome woman and 3 great kids. Born in central Illinois, grew up in eastern Iowa, then back to central Illinois for high school, college, and the present.

    My work: I am one of two music teachers in a small rural school district in Illinois and have been teaching kids about 2 of my passions (music and singing) for 17 years. Great profession, great community to teach in….just wish we could get a do-over with politicians in Springfield. We just need to start over.

    I’ve been cooking with fire since I was young, but ever since adulthood I love to explore the different idioms….Open fire, gas, charcoal, and now sous-vide. KILLER sous-vide salmon last night. Getting interested in pizza outdoors these days, and having a great time with the "afterburner technique" on my chimney starter. (Not with pizza, though)

    Past Equipment:

    Weber Kettle, Lodge Camp Stove, Brinkmann (Sam’s Club) Charcoal Grill

    Current Equipment:

    Primo Oval XL, Cook-Air (Red), Anova Sous-Vide Cooker

    Thermapen and BBQ Guru Cyber Q Wifi

    My home also has a covered-side porch where all the equipment is stationed, ready rain or shine, summer or winter. We call it the cooking porch.

    Best thing about amazingribs.com:

    Can always count on the owner and moderators to be responsive and helpful. Great job guys! Stay Smoky!

        Nate, welcome! I've also have a Primo Oval XL that I got in January and I love it. I started doing pizza recently too. It's a great cooker for Pizza. Just make sure you have a high heat gasket on there before you do Neopolitan pizza. I learned the hard way

        Welcome to the Pit!!! We are happy to have you here. Music is similar to BBQ in that it touches the soul of everyone. It cool that you are able to carry both of those things to young people.

        I was in band for 2 days in 5th grade. Apparently, pushing all the valves down and blowing into your TUBA as hard as you can during the Flute portion of practice is frowned upon. That was the end of my music career. But I am a huge fan of Music and I am one hell of a Air guitarist. I can shred with the best of them.

        Anyway, Welcome to the Pit!

              Welcome to the Pit njedward 👍

              You've got a great cooker for baking pizza. That Primo is as good as a brick oven once you get it set up properly. Plus it's a set it and forget it smoker too.

              i use my charcoal starter as my searing cooker for tri tips that I've cooked in my Sous Vide bath tub many times. I figure why transfer warp 10 hot briquettes to my SnS and have to clean up both pieces of equipment.👍
