    Hello from H-Town!

    Hi, I’m Dom from Houston, Texas. I came across AmazingRibs.com through Meathead’s book that I picked up and started reading after the BBQ bug bit me sometime this past August. I have really fallen in love with the traditional techniques for doing BBQ using an offset smoker and managing a fire the old-fashioned way. I am however a student of it all and want to learn all about the different methodologies, beliefs, opinions, techniques, and equipment, etc… that are out there! I am a chef in my own right and specialize in Tex-Mex and am pretty good at grilling fajitas over an open flame using mesquite wood but I don’t associate my cooking skills with that of learning the art of BBQ, especially in the traditional sense of "low and slow" with a stick burner.

    I have been going through the AmazingRibs.com website little by little and am amazed at all the info it has from equipment reviews to recipes ideas and the whole science behind grilling and smoking. It is the most organized and complete labyrinth of info that I have ever come across! AMAZING! No pun intended! This is the first forum that I have ever participated in so I am definitely new to all of this but my desire to keep on learning has thrusted me into the unknown! I have crossed the Rubicon, there’s no turning back! I appreciate the opportunity to participate in The Pit and learn what I can from everyone involved! The trick is finding time in my busy schedule but where there's a will there's a way! Looking forward to upping my game even if it doesn’t leave my back yard!

      Very welcome to the pit Smokey Dom! Most of us in here are bitten already, so you're in good company! BBQ sure is great, isn't it? We're all here to help, so just fire away if you have any questions. We look forward to seeing your cooks.

      Since you’re new, and if you haven't already done so, 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:

      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. Don’t worry though, we’d be happy to change it for you. PM (private message) ”Huskee” with your email change request, or via email at [email protected]

      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 or those with a USA delivery address (we’d hate to have to pick another person because you don’t answer us)!

      Thanks for joining!

        Thanks for the help. I clicked on my name, went to User Settings then to Notifications but don't see where my email would be listed? I did see where it asks you if you want to receive emails or stick to the message center within the forum but I don't see my email or where it would be? It's probably starring at me right in the face? LOL!

        No worries, I did find it in under the Account tab. That's my email. No need to change it. Thank you.

              Welcome to The Pit Dom. Since Tex-Mex is your specialty, I suggest subbing pulled pork or pulled chuck roast in some of your recipes. That will take them to another level.
