    Hello from Castle Rock, Colorado!

    Hello everyone! My name is Joe and I currently live at about 7,000 ft. in unincorporated Castle Rock, Colorado with my wife and two kiddos (a daughter-10 mos old; and a son- 3 years old). I'm originally from Texas, so I grew up with BBQ. I have been wanting to take a stab at my own Que for many years and finally bought myself a RecTec RT-680. While waiting about 3 weeks for delivery, I poured over every article I could find on this site and have discovered a newfound joy in learning about thermodynamics and the science of food. I love the smell and care that goes into a real fire, and I grew up around many offset barrel smokers. However, due to the constant attention that two young children demand, I went with the convenience and simplicity of a pellet grill.

    I have always enjoyed cooking, with a particular interest in grilling. I grill several times a week, rain, sleet, snow, or shine. I have now found a new passion in attempting to smoke meat. I've always been a bit of a computer geek, which basically means I enjoy tinkering and troubleshooting: tinkering in an attempt to improve performance, thereby causing new problems, then isolating variables to isolate the cause of the problem, and (hopefully) creating a better end-result. I find that smoking meat involves a similar process and fits my tinkering nature perfectly. Unlike computers, meat is tasty too!

                            Welcome to the pit jkinlaw .... love to hear about your smoking adventures with your RecTec .... does it include plenty of brisket, I hope? My family and I almost moved to Castle Rock .... we were in the house hunting stage of a move, with the new company and I negotiating the deal .... sadly, for a variety of reasons, it fell apart at the last minute. But I still would love to live there some day.
