Hello from Durham, NC! I'm a newbie griller & smoker, I've owned a 22" Weber Performer kettle for over 10 years but 2 years ago I couldn't grill burgers the same way twice. Thought that was completely ridiculous and set out to become competent at the basics and things sort of took off after that. After googling enough times for help, this place naturally surfaced as my "go to" site. I find the best information addressing exactly the questions I have and in ways that I understand and work for me - awesome. Just got a new 26" Weber kettle and a Slow 'N Sear XL, and smoked and seared an amazing prime rib roast for Christmas thanks to Meathead's awesome article. His book is on the way. I finished the "homework", and am looking forward to soaking up the knowledge and getting inspired with new ideas. Thanks for such producing such a great site!

Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.

Welcome to The Pit. I was in the same place with burgers and steaks until about 5 years ago. Steaks could come out perfect or so well done you couldn't chew them. Burgers could bleeding read when bitten into or snap off teeth. Finding amazingribs saved my sanity and definitely upped my game. Joining The Pit has pushed me even further. Only issue I have with AR and The Pit is that they are know to carry MCS and it can be transmitted through vision. Watch out for that.
