Hi, everybody. Until a few minutes ago, I didn't even know there was such a group. I was very happy to find this forum.
I'm a life-long musician who found a passion for cooking about 15 years ago. I've always liked grilling, but in the last few years I've gotten more serious about results as close to perfect as possible. My wife got me a Traeger, wood pellet fired grill for Christmas, so now I want to get more into smoking and slow cooking. I'm hoping to learn from all of you. Thanks for any help you can give.
Scotch: Current favorite- The Arran (anything by them), Glenmorangie 12yr Lasanta, sherry cask finished. The Balvenie Double Wood, also like Oban 18yr, and The Glenlivet Nadurra (Oloroso sherry cask finished) among others. Neat please.
