    Good evening from central Illinois!

    Kevin here, owner of South Street Barbecue in Mount Sterling, IL. I've been smoking meat for around 20 years and got serious about it in the last seven or so. I left a perfectly good job as a truck driver to start my concession trailer in July 2017 and haven't looked back since! We're broke but we're happy and I get to cook every day!

    I'm really looking forward to raising my game with what I can learn on here from everyone!

            Welcome to The Pit SouthStreetBarbecue! What a great story, I bet that feels great to do what you love. We're happy to have you here. Hopefully some day your passion turns profitable too, win win!

            Since this is your first post, please check out our homework assignment post for new members, it contains a few how-tos and please-dos. This will help you learn your way around so you can get the best experience from our forum.

            Also, it's very important that you:
            1. Give us an email address you actually use. You can check the email we have on file for you by clicking your name in the upper-right, then User Settings, then the Notifications tab. You currently cannot change your email on file with us since it’s tied to your Pitmaster Club account as well as our payment processor, Stripe, if you’re a paying member. Don’t worry though, we’d be happy to change it for you. PM (private message) me with your email change request, or via email at [email protected].
            2. Add the domain AmazingRibs.com to your email safe list. We NEVER spam! This is important so you can receive special deals we occasionally work out for our members, receive notices about your account, such as if you’re up for renewal or are ever drawn as our monthly Gold Medal Giveaway winner, which is open to all USA members, (whether Free Trial or subscribing), or those with a USA delivery address. We’d hate to have to pick another person because you don’t answer us!


            Hope to hear & see more from you!

                      Welcome. I did a similar thing and just getting going. I know feel confident with my smoking abilities because of what I've learnt and put into practice (lots of test cooks etc.) all thanks to the guidance of this site and the great pit people (piteeples).

                        Thanks everyone! I came over from the BBQ Brethren and this site came highly recommended from them so I knew it would be a good place to learn and share knowledge. I can't wait for the day I have some knowledge to share!

                          Hey, broke southerner here. Glad someone else can take cooking everyday.

                          Of course I ain't no traveler so I guess I would rather cook than drive everyday.

                          DWCowles drives everyday and cooks everyday he's not driving. But "only" for 50-75 at a time. hehehehe

                            Grilla Proves That Good Things Come In Small Packages

                            The small 31.5″ x 29.5″ footprint of the Grilla Pellet Smoker makes it ideal for use where BBQ space is limited, including on a condo patio. Click here for our review on this unique smoker.

                            The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted


                            Napoleon’s 22″ Pro Cart Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It’s hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the 22″ Pro Cart a viable alternative. Click here for more about what makes this grill special.

                            Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?


                            The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust-free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.

                            Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

                            The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat-controlled oven.
