I've been using the AR site for a couple of years now and was using the good old Webber Kettle with the Smokenator, which I bought after reading about it on this site. I used it for a while and did some pretty amazing things with it, even competing in some local BBQ competitions. I never won, but usually placed in the middle of the pack, in some cases well above some with MUCH more expensive rigs. Anyway, I just bought a Kamado Joe Big Joe and I can't stop cooking! I'm on this site all the time looking at recipes and reviews and just decided it was time to join and give back a little. I look forward to digging into the forums here and seeing what else I can do now with my new toy.

Welcome sbursik! Great job on your signature. I cannot remember if I've already shared with you our homework post, if so please forgive me.
My bro-in-law has that same cooker. He loves it.
Look forward to more from you!
