Read about and joined “The Pit†after interrogating amazingribs.com for over a year. I am an engineer, a pilot, hobby farmer and sportsman. An engineer for Boeing, a J3C Piper Cub owner, I live on the rural route and have an approx. 2700 ft^2 garden with corn, tomatoes, peppers, beans, a variety of squash, lettuce, spinach, onions, potatoes, etc. I shoot an array of handguns rifles and shotguns. I also hunt and fish when I get the opportunity. I have been know to provide rain gauge reports and crop progress reports on the local morning radio station. I was taught that smoking meat was difficult and laborious with marginal results but learned that propane made it easier with fine results. Found Meathead and amazingribs.com and hit a pinnacle, one of many to come I’m sure. Learned recommended internal temperatures, the basics of the absorption of rubs and patients while smoking meats. I have a gas and pellet smoker, the gas I understand, the pellet, work in progress.

I have a Master Built Extra Wide Propane and a Traeger Junior Pellet smoker. I have a Charmglow 4 burner propane with a sideburner for looks. 2 Maverick ET-732's, one for each smoker, a Thermopen and an Epica instant pen. I am struggling between the differences a gas smoker were chips and drip pans are used vs a pellet smoker which has neither. I use grill grates to reverse sear and to grill steakhouse burgers.
Growingup in the St. Louis area I prefer Budweiser but have started to drift to Sam Adams after the sale of A-B to InBew. I have more Remingtons than Winchesters, Colts and Kimbers over the plastic double stacks, Browning's, Benelli's and Remingtons for turkeys, ducks and an occasion spirits oh and stray strangers. Yes I do drive Ford Trucks as predicted by the NRA a few years back.
