Complete Newbie from Colorado

May 3, 2015, 04:10 PM

Hello all. Just getting into this whole BBQ / Smoking hobby. So far, experience has been gas and charcoal grills. Just ordered a new Blazn Grillworks Gridiron Pellet grill / smoker and am looking forward to a lot of backyard BBQ. Been reading and trying to learn as much as I can from this site, and thought I should join and help support the site in return for all of the info it has to offer. Im pretty good at searching and reading, so hopefully won't be asking to many rookie questions.
