Hello there,
I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself but also thank everyone for the warm welcome I've received from all of you. My name is Kevin Shrewsbury and I currently live in Manassas Virginia. Cooking is my number one passion and I've been doing it all of my adult life. I was born in New Orleans Louisiana so therefore I specialize in a lot of Cajun and Creole recipes. Yep love me some crawfish I got into BBQ and grilling about 4 yrs ago when I bought a Weber kettle from a local True value store. Other than grilling a steak and some burgers I knew nothing about true BBQ. Any barbecue I ever went to was usually at a friends house and it was usually hotdogs, hamburgers, and maybe some chicken grilled dried out and slathered with barbecue sauce. Nothing wrong with that but that was what I knew as barbecue. How naïve I was!!! Wanting to get more use out of my Weber kettle I started looking online at some of webers recipes. I then realized my Weber cooker had so much potential and I could cook just about anything on it when done right. From there I started experimenting with different things like pork butt, roasts, vegetables, and even pizzas. After experimenting with different woods and the flavor that they give different foods I have become addicted to the art of smoking and grilling. There are many different ways to flavor food with seasonings and spices but I have learned that there is something very unique about smoke flavor. Now I don't enjoy it when food is so heavily smoked that it tastes like the forest but just enough for that wonderful flavor that complements whatever is being cooked. There's just something so different with smoke flavor than with anything else.
Yep, I'm addicted now and I really enjoy this website. There is so much good information on here and I look forward to learning new things from all of you. Hopefully I can share some of my recipes with you all as well.
Well that pretty much sums it up for me. Again thank you all for the welcome. Happy cooking, but more importantly, happy eating!
