    New Member from Minnesota

    Hi All,
    New member here from the Minneapolis area. I have been poking around the website since late last summer, learning tons, and recently decided to jump in with a membership!

    I'm relatively new to the grilling/smoking world. I got a weber kettle as a wedding present a few years ago, and just poked around with it. Late last summer, I added a slow and sear to it, which greatly improved my results (and increased my enthusiasm!). I just took the plunge and ordered an 18 inch WSM, a replacement door from Cajunbandit to help seal it up, and an Auber SYL-1615SYS-W to assist with temp control, which should all be arriving in the next week or so. It should be a smokey summer indeed! I'd eventually like to learn the WSM well enough to go without the Auber temp controller, but I have a 10 month old at home and twins on the way, so my time to dedicate to it may be a bit limited over the next few years!

    I'm excited to be a part of the community here! Lot's of good dialog, lot's of help and suggestions offered, and none of the annoyances you usually see in forums where people tangent off the discussion to nitpick responses, trash talk, or criticise!

    Thanks!

          Welcome to The Pit sorensen_j! Thanks for joining and introducing yourself! Congrats on the new WSM, door and Auber!

          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 check the email we have on file for you by clicking your name in the upper-right, then User Settings, then the Notifications tab. You currently cannot change your email on file with us since it’s tied to your Pitmaster Club account as well as our payment processor, Stripe. Don’t worry though, we’d be happy to change it for you. PM (private message) "Huskee" with your email change request, or via email at huskee[at]AmazingRibs[dot]com.

          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!

              Welcome to the Pit, from the Land of Tonka! Good to see another Minnesotan in here.
              Sounds like you have a good set up. And the addition of the WSM will be great.
              If you are interested, a few of us are planning on heading out to the U for a BBQ class. It is put on by the MN BBQ society. It should be a great time. We would love to have you join us. Let us know if you are interested. Link is below. Thanks for supporting the Pit!

                Looks fun! Unfortunately, the wife's best friend and her husband are coming to town that weekend, and I fear I'll be couch bound if I split all day on Saturday. Thanks for the invite though! Definitely let me know of any other happenings in the area!

              Welcome sorensen_j from southern MN. Great to have you join us! I will echo Spinaker about the BBQ training at the U of M, I went last year and had a great time. Enjoy The Pit!

                  Welcome to The Pit. Since you have twins on the way, I suggest you get as much sleep as possible now - maybe 18 hrs a night.
