Happy Smoking New Year!

January 1, 2015, 07:51 PM

Like many others I have been a frequent visitor to this site learning about the art of smoking sweet meats! I have learned so much from Meatheads fact based, detailed, in-depth BBQ advice! I started smoking on my LP grill about 5 years ago. Struggling with the specialized skill of temperature control, I have used your standard big box store electric POS with less than desirable results. Today I have been blessed with the company of my very own PBC that I received for my B Day last year. I am really stoked to be a little part of this awesome team of professionals and backyard bros who just love cooking, eating and teaching the art of smoking sweet meat!

Smoke on,

Nick
