    Hello from Canada

    Years ago I was working overseas, and at each new location the Canadians would put together what we thought was a BBQ. Our American cousins would come along and ask "what y'all doing?" When we told them they would say "Hell, that ain't no BBQ, it's a Grill !!" Finally I asked a friend of mine from Texas what he called a BBQ, and he drew out an offset BBQ, something we had no clue about up here. Later, a Canadian friend of mine had a heavy custom made offset BBQ sent to him in a trailer ordered from Oklahoma, but he didn't know how to use it. It was the first one that I had seen in the flesh, and as he proceeded to rant on about how useless it was ( he tried to grill steaks in the smoke pit ) I offered to solve the problem for him. I have it to this day and love it. A real improvement to it is the CyberQ set up. A word of caution on the fan though, when I first set it up I had the fan too close to the firebox and the charcoal, and quickly melted the plastic fan. Ordered another fan and made an extension to the outlet port to keep the fire further away, and now it works perfectly.

    Look forward to learning more on this site.

      Welcome to the Pit! Isn't BBQ great. You are the envy of every cook who longs for an offset cooker. Longing for another cooker is called MCS (More Cooker Syndrome). Be careful in the Pit. You can pick up a case of MCS.

                  I have some friends and extended family in the Toronto area. After some of the discussions we have had on this subject, your story sounds all too familiar! Welcome to the Pit!

                              Wow, thanks guys !!!

                              I live in northern Alberta, not far off the route to Alaska, on a small cattle ranch. Lots of room for parking or in the house if any of you are passing by. Budweiser served here, and who known, maybe even brisket.
