    Hello from SoCal

    Longtime AmazingRibs.com fan from Wildomar, CA. I started smoking 6-7 years ago using a Webber 22” kettle and wood chips on charcoal with a 2-zone setup. Stepped up to wood chunks on charcoal about 5-6 years ago. Got a vertical offset smoker from my wife three years ago, and later that year took the jump to using only wood splits. I now have a local wood supplier who gets great quality oak logs/splits and use only wood for smoking.




    Meathead and crew have been a TREMENDOUS help in learning new techniques and developing recipes. I have a few rubs I modified from AmazingRibs recipes, as well as a couple I’ve created from scratch. I discovered AmazingRibs about 5 years ago...it was finally time to join the club!




    I’m a fan of central Texas brisket and Memphis dry ribs. Some of my favorite things to cook are brisket, pulled pork, baby back ribs, and chicken quarters. I love cooking...whether it’s just for my family or a crowd of 100.




    Looking forward to getting to know you all and sharing/learning from a great community!!!

          Could be, I used to drive by one on magnolia on my way to work in Anaheim. If it's the same group anyway. Little Saigon if the @&$t for Pho and food. Many just don't get it. The same bowl of Pho is 4-5 dollars more here in HB as it is there. Loving your memory man!

          Yeh, they are a chain and there's a few in Santa Ana. I probably went to the one on Magnolia too. And all those little pho places are great. I dated a Vietnemese girl for awhile and she'd take me around to all the secret spots.

                          Hey, theroc. My wood guy is a dude named Fred in Old Town Murrieta. He doesn’t advertise other than a sign on his yard that says "wood." No website, no phone number...I have to drive by and hope he’s at the yard when I need wood. Since he’s not always there I keep a stash at home and refill when I only have enough left for a couple 12 hour cooks. But he always has a big pile of ready to use wood!

                          Thanks Santamarina! I don't get through Murrieta too often, so guess I'll keep searching. But next time I'm passing by on the 15 I may make a diversion to see what I can find.

                        Welcome from Boston. I’ve spent a few nights/dollars at Pechenga not too far away from you when I lived in Cali. Enjoy the Pit!
