Long time reader of Amazing Ribs, KCBS Table Captain and Judge working on Master. Not a competitor, but friends with a number of comp teams. Worked my way from Webber charcoal grills, to building a UDS a couple years back. Have a Rec Tec pellet coming in May. Lot of week night grilling on my natural gas grille as well.

Live in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the Air Quality Management District is threatening to make it illegal to grill, bbq, or smoke on "Spare the Air" Days.

Looking forward to seeing what the Pitmaster club is all about and improving on my skills.
