Hello from missouri! Noobie!

[BlowinSmoke]

Howdy! I'm new to the Pitmaster's group. I live in southwest Missouri now, retired from the Air Force in 2014. I've been grilling since 1995, and nearly caught my house on fire when the grill we inherited when we bought the house had a dry rotted gas hose that failed...talk about fanning the flames! Good times! Anyway, I recently got into smoking...started with a cheapie Akorn, and moved on to an offset smoker a few weeks ago. So far, I've smoked beef spare ribs, pork tenderloin, and this past weekend I did my first brisket. I love it! It's a relaxing and rewarding hobby. We've eaten well so far. The resources in this site from the people are awesome! Thanks, and I hope to contribute!

Welcome to our pyromaniac club...👍 You're not the first to almost burn their house down.😖 I wonder when the last time anyone in the Pit had their fire extinguisher refilled?🙈
