Hello from NW Indiana

[beerwort]

Hello I'm Beerwort, from the Steel Mills of NWI, been smoking on and off for over 20yrs. Started with a Brinkman, then added a Char-Broil grill with a side fire box. I did mostly butts, ribs and a turkey every once in awhile. I did a purge of all the grills (some gas in there) when we moved to the last house about 8 yeras ago. I got a Weber Platinum Performer (with a smokinator and Pizza set up) as a house warming present to myself. As with any addict, it wasn't enough, I also have a MES 30" that I basicly just use for cold smoking since I got the latest, a Pit Boss PB820 Pellet Grill. I love the set and forget of the pellet grills, as old age creeps up on you, runnig in and out fideling with dampers, add wood, add water etc is not as appealing as it once was. I've been told that's it for a while, I hope she doesn't notice the meat bills this summer.

I did 20 years ago before all the micro/brew pub frenzie. Doc says no more beer (carbs/surgar) so I now concentrate on smoking meat. I'm supose to limit red meat, but only the smoke ring is red so it's OK, rigth?
