Hi all, my name is Justin and I live in Manassas in Northern Virginia. I have used this site for some time to gain grilling and BBQ knowledge as well as all of the great product reviews. A couple of years back after moving out here from D.C. I bought myself a Weber Kettle and gas grill to enjoy outdoors and also to do something while drinking a few brews and watching football. I tried and succeeded a bit with smoking on the kettle before we had our first son about 16 months ago.
Just recently we've gained a little of our free time back and my loving wife bought me the PBC for my birthday. As it arrived earlier than expected and anxious to cook, I ran out and bought some beef back ribs and store brand coals. Needless to say, my novice skills and perhaps the charcoal choise left me with a lot of work trying to keep the cooker hot. Not the best results out of the box, which I squarely place blame on the fuel source. 😊
A few few days later I went for a brisket flat, about 5 lbs, and after a bunch of wrangling I got the temp right, turned out well. From here on out I'm going to stick to recommendations of good ol Kingsford to keep my fire going.
Looking forward to meet some folks, hear some great stories and to hopefully hone my skills at the same time.
forever Kingsford,
Justin
