Hi! I'm Dave from WA

[dave_trimble]

I've been a member here for a while, but never posted an introduction. My name's Dave, and I live in Arlington, WA (about an hour North of Seattle). I received a Traeger Junior as a gift years ago, and have been hooked on barbecue ever since. I now have three Traegers, a Select, a Texas, and that original Junior. Thinking about going a different direction soon on my smoker setup (collection?), but that's the subject of another post.

Other than barbecue, I'm into bourbon, scotch, craft beer, wine, the occasional fine cigar, and kicking back in the shade and reading a good book. I look forward to chatting with you fine folks in the future, and I hope I can offer up the occasional tidbit of useful knowledge in exchange for all that I am sure I will learn from you. See you guys in the forums!

Welcome aboard Dave.
If you're into wood fires than your next addition should be a stick burner. I have one and love it. Although it does need attention. It's a great way to spend a day around the house.

Hi Dave. Welcome.

I'm about 1 1/2 hours north of you in Port Moody, BC. Similar climate (wet, damp, cooler etc.). That being said may I suggest that a SV circulator be the next addition to your arsenal. My Joule has been a game changer. I still enjoy longer cooks when the weather cooperates but the SV allows me to enjoy smoking and grilling 12 months of the year. Sous-vide-Q. I'm still learning with each cook but I'm amazed at the results. Without a doubt the best steak I've ever had was done sous-vide and then browned on grill grates.
