Just your average guy with a love of cooking and passion for BBQ of all kinds. I am married w/ 3 boys (2 college, 1 Air Force), work in public safety and have lived in NC all my life. I grew up cooking and have love this all my life. I made it a hobby and not a job so I would always love what I do. My main cooking passion is whole hog and all pork. I have followed amazingribs for some time and my goal here is to learn some new tips, tricks and methods along with interaction with fellow bbq lovers. Cheers.
