    Greetings from Nipomo California

    Hello all. My name is Phil and I live on the beautiful central coast of California. Here, the traditional BBQ uses the Santa Maria style grills and rub, with tri-tip being the meat of choice.

    I've been lurking on this site for several years and have been fascinated with the meat science articles. Who'd have thought?

    For way too many years (I'm of, shall we say, retirement age) my BBQ game always varied - sometimes great, but more often than not, mediocre.

    But a while back, there was an Amazing Ribs review of the Thermoworks temperature probes and I bought two; one stay-in-meat, and the other instant read. From that day on, my game started to improve.

    Long overdue, I've decided to join the Pitmaster Club if, for nothing else, to recognize and support Meathead and the team of experts who provide such an informative resource.

    I've just bought (delivery on Friday) a Camp Chef SmokePro DLX Pellet Grill with sear box and I'm planning on getting good use from the information and tutorials on this site to make the best of my purchase. We have a bunch of visitors coming over the next couple of months, and I want them to enjoy some awesome, tasty BBQ.

    Cheers from Nipomo.

      Quite a few years back I spent some time travelling to Raleigh-Durham for business in the RTP.

      That's where I first tasted Lexington style BBQ. Wow, what a treat that was!

      Thanks for the welcome.

        Thanks! I lived in Parker for a few years in the 80's and enjoyed Countyline BBQ. I wonder if it's still any good.

        pbhenry - I checked online and can't find any reference to a Countyline BBQ in the local area. Perhaps it's gone ...

      Welcome from Winnipeg. That Santa Maria grill looks pretty cool and will make a great companion to your new pellet grill.

        Thanks! I don't have a Santa Maria style grill, but am a member of the local VFW which has one. We use it a lot for fund raising and our tri-tip sandwiches always get sold out. We use red oak, but it's getting very expensive.

        Thanks! Pleasure is mine. Is that an HS.125 by any chance?

        HS.125 was an older model but yes pretty much the same thing turned into Hawker 800XP with upgraded avionics and engines. I have maintained these as well as other type corporate aircraft for the last 40 years. Looking forward to joining the retired ranks.
