Greetings from Queens, New York

[Bumby]

I’m an amateur cook with a small backyard in Astoria, Queens.

I’ve owned a 22” WSM and a gas grill for the past five years. Been using them both so much I’m looking into larger pellet smokers.

This site has given me ideas for recipes and rubs and general reference for years. So I thought it was time to pay my fair share for everything I’ve learned.

In particular, I’m obsessed with that bacon recipe. Only problem is that the bacon that comes from it is sooo good that I can no longer buy store bought.

Looking forward to being a part of the community and learning from all of you.

Welcome from Winnipeg. Have fun cooking and learning. Even the mistakes are great.

I love that slogan - "Even the mistakes are great." Even if they aren't, they make for great chili!

Welcome to the Pit! I have a Weber 22 kettle with the SnS and also have a Pellet Cooker -- both are great for cookin'. I can't wait to see pictures of your's in action!

[Bumby]

nice! what's your favorite thing to smoke?

[kmhfive]

Bumby , I think my favorite low-n-slow is short plate beef ribs. And to grill is Tri-Tip.

Welcome to the pit from Southern Illinois! The meat purveyors need to keep more pork belly available for those of us that cannot buy bacon anymore. It is a good thing. I think that I will have some for breakfast this morning.

[Bumby]

Cheers - I honored your post by frying up a few pieces with an egg sandwich this morning!

Welcome. Enjoy the great recipes and comradery. If you have bellies readily available try making some burnt ends some time.

[Bumby]

Awesome - thanks for the thoughts!
