Hello all,
I'm Bill, I live in central California. I grew up eating barbecued or grilled meats that were completely dried out and tasted more like charcoal than meat; my dad wanted to make sure everything was cooked thoroughly and did not believe in using marinades or seasonings (I have no idea why). I finally started grilling in the last 10 years or so, first with propane and now with charcoal. I started with tri-tips and Pappy's Seasoning and for years that's all I did. I now have an Oklahoma Joe's offset smoker, although I have never used the fire box. I am experimenting with ribs, pork shoulders, tri-tips, and steaks. I am pretty happy with the pork shoulder and tri-tip, still working on ribs and steak.
I stumbled upon this site a few weeks ago and have already used the reverse sear method several times with fantastic results. I have also tried some of the recipes, mainly the rib rub and barbecue sauce. I've got several thermometers and a gasket kit for the smoker on the way. This is going to be my new hobby; my wife loves good food and heartily approves of this being my new hobby. I am looking forward to learning a lot and cooking better food.
