    Turkey time in the Sierras...

    Hi everyone. This is a great web site and I'm happy to be here. My name is Donn (Sierraslick) Mouw and I live part of the time in Alameda, Ca. (the Bay Area) and the rest of the time at my cabin in the Sierras. I'm 66 years old and have been burning meat for at least 45 of those years. Over time I've been through a series of kettle grills, Hibachis and gassers all with best intentions. I wanted to provide some sort of tasty charred meat cooked outside for the pleasure of my family and guests.

    At some point about 10 years ago I realized that if I paid more attention I could actually influence the outcome of my grilling in a positive way, so after that epiphany I drank a little less beer and began reading, learning and practicing how to burn meat better.

    Then 6 years ago, long after my initial epiphany, I purchased a Big Green Egg and my addiction to real smoking & BBQ really began in earnest. A year later I bought another Egg for my cabin and since then I've expanded my repertoire to include meats, veggies, fruit, bread and pizzas. This site has provided some great information and lots of reasons "why" that I've wondered about. Cheers, Donn

                Welcome aboard Donn. Burning meat, good. Burning that other food, good to. What a wonderful thing, fire & food. Looking forward to your contributions & your further experiments. Enjoy the ride, as you already have.

                    We have a cabin in Dorrington. Do you know it? Highway 4 East out of Stockton. Headed there tomorrow to BBQ a turkey in the forest as a matter of fact. Enjoy your holiday.

                    Yes - I used to live in Stockton in the early-mid 1990's. I had mid-week off and would ski at Bear Valley. It was cheap and I had the mountain to myself.

                  Hey there Sierraslick and welcome to the Pit ... I am from California originally .. born at Sutter Memorial ... my mother's family owned dairy farms in/around Galt and Lodi. I know exactly where Dorrington is. When i watch Sons of Anarchy ... well, let's just say some of my family and friends could be Sons :-)

                    When I lived in Pleasant Hill I used to come up here by cutting across the delta just North of Lodi over on Peltier Road and up through San Andreas. I must have driven right through Charming, right?

                    Smack through Charming! A lot of my family lives/lived off Marengo.

                    And I'm reasonably sure if you know Peltier Road, you know where Marengo Road is
