    Howdy from the Texas Hill Country!

    Well, I may not be a native Texan but I got here as quick as I could! After 25 years in the Navy, I was finally able to spend some time learning the art of BBQ and couldn't think of a better place to start then TX. I live 15 minutes from the Salt Lick and 25 minutes from Franklin's, Coopers and Blacks (the new Austin locations). Boy it's been fun to do the BBQ eating circuit.

    I compete locally 6-10 times per year mainly in Lone Star BBQ Society (LSBS) events. Got very lucky first year in 2010 and was invited to Meridian for the Nat'l Finals. Unfortunately, work conflicted and I wasn't able to attend, nor have I gotten lucky again since.

    I'd like to change my luck and hope I can gather some nuggets of info from this site to get me there. Cheers to ya'll!

                    Welcome to The Pit mmryon! Glad to have you aboard, thanks for the support.

                    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 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) me 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!

                    Grilla Pellet Smoker proves good things come in small packages

                    We always liked Grilla. The small 31.5″ x 29.5″ footprint makes it ideal for use where BBQ space is limited, as on a condo patio.

                    Blackstone Rangetop Combo: Griddle And Deep Fryer In One


                    The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, grilled cheese, and so much more. And why deep fry indoors when you can avoid the smell and mess by doing it outside!

                    Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

                    The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.

                    The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted


                    Napoleon’s 22″ Pro Cart Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It’s hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the 22″ Pro Cart a viable alternative.
