I LOVE this website! 
OK enough of that...
Hmmm...I am a retired prof (let me know if you ever want a little lecture on anything at all.) who has been grilling since about 1960 when I started on one of those little dish things cooking stuff for my parents. I can remember once, when I was maybe 7-8 (like in the early '50s) kind of late at night in the back seat, getting a sliced pork sandwich on white bread from one of those sort-of scary rib joints...and I thought I had gone to heaven! I can still remember the taste! Can you believe that!?
I started in junior high grilling on the terrace (patio to most folks) but never could make it work the way I wanted. In college someone gave me a "Lil' Smokey", which had a cover, and I really went to town! I carried that rusting thing around through the service (won the draft lottery...woohoo!) and several other moves until it finally fell apart, but then "graduated" into a Weber.
Found Amazing Ribs a few years ago and my grilling amped up to another level. Have been trying, with some success, to reproduce my memories of Texas brisket. Got to where I have entertained a bunch of foreigners (from places like Illinois and California) with great success...but what do they know??!!
So I have much to learn. I am tasked with doing a brisket for 8 for Christmas. I am honestly not too worried about the meat, but the beans are not yet settled. No offense Meathead, but I am still looking for the ultimate BBQ beans recipe. Your KC Sauce recipe is so good I could drink it through a straw, but I am hoping for a bean recipe with a bit less sugar.
Anyway...I am delighted to be part of this BBQ lunatic fringe!
