Greetings from Austin, Texas from an experienced outdoor cook, new to Pitmaster's.
I have learned a by reading Meathead's book, cruising Amazingribs.com and spending a lot of time cooking outdoors.
I have a Pitts and Spitts stick burner, Weber Summit and a relatively new Rec Tec 680 pellet grill. I am 75 and retired so have plenty of time to enjoy my hobby. I am pretty good at it, but am always learning and I enjoy helping my friends and neighbors learn to cook outdoors.
Being born and raised in Texas, I had to try slow smoking brisket many years ago. I started with a home made non offset oilfield pipe smoker / grill. I really never "got it" until moving up to an off-set smoker. My confidence and my briskets really started to improve.
At this time, I am comfortable and will try just about any recipe. I have a large recipe book collection (heavy on grilling and smoking) and several 3 ring binders with recipes from Amazing Ribs, Traeger Grills, Rec Tec pellet grills, and any recipe I run across that I think I might try some day. When I try a new one, I always make notes as to how it came out and suggestions for improvement. I hope to hand them down to my son and daughter someday, who both love outdoor cooking, too.
Hopefully, I can continue to learn and maybe even contribute something worthwhile for others on Pitmaster'. I look forward to the adventure.
