Hello From Philadelphia

[Oozzy]

Grew up in the South(GA) and lived in TX for a couple of years, so have been around great BBQ most of my younger life. I have been living in Philly for the past 10 years and have not been able to find great BBQ, so decided i needed to start making it myself. This website has been a wealth of knowledge. Keep up the great work!

Try Sweet Lucy's. It's at 7500 State St. It's the best I have found.

I will have to take a ride up there this weekend. Everyone raves about Fette Sau, I thought their brisket was above average, but everything else was average to below average.

Huntington Beach welcomes you! WSM coming huh? You already have MCS. I think I had my first real cheesesteak last week at a place around the corner from my that I have passed a million times. Cracked me up. I thought the guy was yelling at me but he was just calling me over to pick up my cheesesteak.

Welcome! I love when we get the opportunity to go back to Philly. Haven't been in a while, though.

Hi Oozzy from Philadelphia. I have to agree with Jetwrecker and your assessment of Fette Sau. I've heard good things about Mission BBQ but have not been personally.

Re: WSM, unless yer needin' ultra-portability, such as small-volume campin' trip cooks, or small volume tailgatin', I'd go for th' middle of th' road, size-wise: Th' 18.5" WSM.
