Hi I go by mountainsmoker as I live just outside The Great Smoky Mountain National Park in NC. I have been using the Weber 22 kettle to smoke all types of meats for over 40 years. I am 66 now and bought my first one in the late 70's. I have belonged to a numerous number of barbeque organizations as I have moved around the country. First while as an officer in the Navy and then while working for my company. I thank you for letting me join temporarily and I will definitely join permanently Look forward to learning from you and being able to also help with my experience.

Fuels Used:
Splits/Chunks, whatever I can get. Usually B&B competition. Favorites are Cherry, Apple, Post Oak, and Hickory.
Pellets, Lumberjack.
Charcoal, whatever is on sale. Currently have a bunch of KBB. Will eventually try B&B. Use whatever lump is on sale in my Ooni.
Propane, Blue Rhino.
Rubs:
Usually make my own riff’s on Memphis Dust and BBBR. Also use Meathead’s commercial rubs and occasionally try something new. I like a couple from Tuffy Stone and Kinder’s. After several surgeries, I’m very sensitive to “spicy” stuff, so I need to be careful about heat levels.
