Howdy y'all (I say that tongue in cheek to play to the stereotype)
I have gotten so much value from this site in the last couple of months that I felt like I just had to join and help support/show my appreciation.
I live in Georgetown, Texas, which is 30 miles north of Austin. Pretty much smack dab on the north end of the famous Central Texas BBQ Belt. It's 28 miles east to the famous Louie Mueller's in Taylor, 64 miles west to Cooper's in Llano, 35 miles to Franklin's in Austin (I have not yet been) and 68 miles down to Kreuz's in Lockhart
I'm a military brat, born in Heidelberg, Germany and raised in El Paso, Texas. Since then, I lived in Lubbock, Richmond, VA, Dallas, Euless TX, Grapevine TX, Katy TX, and now Georgetown. If you're familiar at all with Texas you'll detect a pattern there moving from west to east in then into the center.
Happily married, father of two boys ages 15 and 13. They all enjoy my cooking but don't seem to interested in learning (yet - and that includes my wife)
I'm new to low/slow BBQ'ing but have been a ignorant griller for some time. This website has really opened my eyes (and my wallet...)
About three months ago on another sports-related forum, someone recommended GrillGrates to another poster. It caught my eye and I searched around and ended up on this site. Everything here just clicked with me and I've been reading and trying things out since then.
I have a 22inch Weber Performer and a small 2-burner Kenmore gas grill. I bought the GrillGrates, (which I love) and then after reading on this site, decided to try smoking some ribs with a smoker box holding wood chips. That turned out better than expected and led to me getting the Smokenator for the Weber. Now I have a PitMaster IQ on its way after several rounds of smoking ribs, pork butts, one brisket and some others.
My goal is to perfect a technique for brisket and continue to get better and better at the others. Looking forward to the discussion and continued learning through the additional benefits of the Pitmaster Club!
