Greetings All from Northern Virginia

[Caps107]

Thanks to all for inviting me to "The Pit." Figured I had leeched off A/R's and Meathead's free knowledge long enough. Just been exploring so far, what an awesome amount and diversity of knowledge. This is my first real attempt in a forum, so please excuse my learning curve.

I usually grill or smoke 4-5 times a week: Couple on the Genesis, couple on the Kettle, smoke on the weekend. Just got the Kettle & Slow n Sear in the last few weeks, so having to learn how to grill & smoke (former electric bullet smoker) all over. Always looking for help & input.

Thanks again to Meathead, what an incredible amount of knowledge.
