Hello JGK Welcome

[JGKnSC]

I have been following the “Amazing Ribs” site for the better part of two years. I joined the PIT this past August and have been following many topics on the forum. I never took the time to introduce myself, so I thought now would be as good a time as any.

I reside in Southern California. I have always had an interest in cooking, especially back yard barbeque and grilling. I am fortunate to have a pretty good set up where I have both a gas grill for grilling and a pellet smoker for barbeque. Like most everyone who loves barbeque, I’m always looking for ways to improve and replicate that last good brisket or slab of ribs from many of the barbeque restaurants I have had the good fortune to visit. When I found this site and I reviewed the recipes, I was blown away! I have tried many of them and have yet to be disappointed. Most importantly the techniques described in many of the recipes and the “Zen” how to articles are the best I have ever seen. The seminars are phenomenal! I have always considered myself to be a pretty good cook, but I have to admit something was always missing. This site has helped transform me and educate me on the finer points of how to grill and barbeque in a way that has provided truly amazing results. I have included a photo or two of my grill and smoker.
