I have used this site at least 3-4 years, additionally, I have recommended it to I do not know how many people that want to learn the "true art of BBQ". I am a retired Master Chief of the Navy (26 years). Ride a Harley Trike. I am an Assistant Professor and teach Electronics Engineering Technology at Somerset Community College in southern Kentucky...
Have a brisket going right now on a Weber Silver with indirect heat and Pecan Wood as smoke....the aroma is great...can't wait to put it on rest for an hour and then chow down..
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.

Welcome Chief! Glad you could join us! Let us know how your brisket comes out! Everyone here loves pictures so take some today during the cook and post them later if you want. Happy Smoking!
Pit Boss, I will not hold the USAF against you. My son-in-law is retired AF. He was the Master of Ceremony (in his dress uniform) at my retirement ceremony. He was stationed at Carswell, Shaw, and Kedena. 20 years, three duty stations..lol...I was stationed at one time with the Navy SEALs (I was not a SEAL but my Techs maintained their mini-subs), when we would deploy platoons for training to Puerto Rica the AF always used a C-5 Galaxy to take us down. Y'all did pretty good shuttle service. Use to piss the load master off getting all of that ammo and pallets of oxygen...lol

Thanks to all of you who welcomed me. Did not get any pictures of the brisket, did not last that long. Put in the cooler to rest and went to town to get some beers. Came back and wife had already sliced the brisket...lol..it was good, made you want to suck your tongue when you finished eating. I can not believe how expensive brisket has got...
nice try Master Chief but thatdog won't hunt as far as the pictures are concerned. But then again you are retired and I'll give you that one as I'm the same way sometimes it's just not worth the effort and it actually spoils the meal to have to sit there and shoot all those pictures so I'm glad you guys enjoyed the brisket and yes it is expensive but hey what isn't
