    Hello from Central Illinois

    First time poster here, but long time stalker of the site. Santa brought me Meathead's book for Christmas and after a few weeks I think I'm hooked on the Pit. So many good discussions and great experience to learn from!

    I've only been smoking for a year or so, but grew up being the "grill master" for my family because I enjoyed working the grill. Now I'm going on 30 and really enjoy the art and science that go into cooking.

    I hope to learn a lot and contribute where I can!

      Let me tell you friend, you do not know what hooked is. Let us know about 8 mos from now (the end of summer) whether your assessment of hooked was accurate. Glad to have you with us, eat good & enjoy!

            Welcome to The Pit Kschum1! Happy to have you here. Good job on your signature, and that's a nice array of gear you have.

            Since this is your first post, please check out our homework assignment post for new members, it contains a few how-tos and please-dos. This will help you learn your way around so you can get the best experience from our forum.

            Also, it's very important that you:
            1. Give us an email address you actually use. You can set or change your email on file with us by clicking your name in the upper-right, then User Settings, then the Notifications tab.
            2. Add the domain AmazingRibs.com to your email safe list. We NEVER spam! This is important to receive notices about your account, such as if you’re up for renewal or are ever drawn as our monthly Gold Medal Giveaway winner, which is open to all USA members or those with a USA delivery address (we’d hate to have to pick another person because you don’t answer us)!


            Hope to hear & see more from you!
