Been using this site as a resource since 2011 and figured it was finally time to join in on the fun.
I'd been casually grilling on my 22.5" Weber kettle since then, when it was stolen during the move to my new house in 2014. Fortunately for me, the previous homeowner gave me his 20 year old kettle with the house. That kept me grilling for the remainder of that summer and I stepped up to a Performer in 2015 and a 1st gen Slow 'N Sear shortly after. That's when I started dabbling in using a kettle to smoke ribs and that's when the spark was lit . I started getting a little more into using the kettle for more than just hot and fast grilling of the usual suspects, and learned (still learning) how to use it for longer cooks of whole chickens and ribeyes after smoking a few racks. Things started getting serious this spring when I upgraded from a Thermoworks ChefAlarm to a Smoke and a Lavatools Javelin to a Thermapen Mk4. If you can't tell, I tend to crack myself up a lot. Looking forward to talking with everyone here in the future about what you're doing and how you do it!
