My wife and I currently split our time between the left and right coasts hitting as many BBQ joints and competitions as we can. We are both KCBS judges. I learned to cook over fire from my grandfather in CA back in the late 1950's. He had what is now referred to as a "Santa Maria" style grill, back then it was just a pit. I've always preferred meat cooked over fire and/or smoke. Direct or indirect, It just tastes better. In our travels we've attended hundreds of cooking classes and demos, then tried most of them out at home. Many of them keepers, some not so much. Looking forward to continuing our education here... Life is good.

I'm Running a Texas smoker and a half:
- 1.5 55 gal thick oil barrels cut horizontally
- Firebox section on left end (not offset)
- Hinged lid/hatch over the firebox section
- Hinged ash hatch on the firebox section end
- Grilling/smoking section has a framed grill inset with two height levels for grilling and searing
- Charcoal grate on the bottom that slides closer or further from the meat to adjust temperature
- The water pan is elevated between the meat and the coals.
- Can maintain temperature without adjustments for about 2 hours at a time
