I've been bouncing around the internet at YouTube and different websites trying to learn correct smoking techniques and they have left me totally confused. Finally someone mentioned that Amazing Ribs.com is the place to go for anyone who is serious about BBQ. It looks like I finally found my home with you guys. I appreciate your intelligent no-nonsense approach and at the same time keeping a good sense of humor. I've got a lot to learn from you all and I hope I don't ask too many dumb questions. Thanks, fellas! I'm proud to be one of you.

New Member from Louisiana
​Hi, guys! I'm a newly-retired engineer from the offshore oilfield in south Louisiana. I live in Thibodaux , Louisiana which is about 45 miles SW of New Orleans. After 34 years in the oil industry, I finally have the time to devote to all my favorite interests that have been neglected for so long... and BBQ is at the top of the list. I've been doing backyard grilling for about the last 40 years but never had the time or resources to truly learn and develop any skill at it, but times have changed. Last week I ordered a new RecTec 680 and am expecting it to be delivered sometime next week.

Hey man, welcome.
Ain't been down there since college in the 90's. National Agriculture honor society convention at Nicholls.
You ever work with anyone from Gueydan?
-
Thanks, Jerod. Twenty-one years ago my office was located in Lafayette and, at that time, we had one supervisor and one clerk from Gueydan. That office has since been closed due to a merger and I lost touch with them.
It's a small world. My house is almost directly across the bayou from Nicholls. As the crow flies, it's about 1/4 mile away.
With a name like Broussard, you must have roots in cajunland.
-
Neato on the house location. We toured Camco industries.

Started Low-N-Slow BBQ in 2012. Obviously, it's taken hold (in chronological order:
1.) A pair of Weber Smokey Mountain 22.5's
2.) #LilTex, a 22" Expensive Offset Smoker (looks like a Yoder Witicha)
3.) #WhoDat1, a HUGE Gravity Fed Insulated Cabinet Smoker (cooking chamber 3'x2'x6')
4.) A Full Size Commercial Dryer/converted to Vertical Smoker.
5.) Jambo Backyard stickburner (my FAVORITE Pit so far)
6.) GrillMeister, a huge 24"x48" Adjustable, Charcoal Grill from Pitmaker.com
7.) 22" Weber Kettle with Slow-N-Sear
8.) Vault insulated reverse-flow cabinet smoker from Pitmaker
9.) BarbecueFiretruck...under development
10.) 26 foot BBQ Vending Trailer equipped with HUGE Myron Mixon 72xc smoker is HERE, Oct 2016!
11.) Opened www.PaulsRibShackBarbecue.com Food Trailer officially in March 2017
12.) Austin Smoke Works 500 Gallon Propane Tank Offset Smoker, named "Lucille" as travel pit for PaulsRibShack, Oct 2018.
12.) Opening Brick & Mortar location at 4800 Nelson Rd, Spring 2019. Had a pair of 1,000 Gallon Austin Smoke Works pits, both in RibShackRed for our new place!
Fabulous Backlit Thermapens, several Maverick Remote Thermometers (don't use any remotes anymore), Thermoworks Smoke, Other Thermoworks toys, Vacuum sealer, lots and lots of equipment...
I'm loving using BBQ to make friends and build connections.
I have #theRibList where I keep a list of new and old friends and whenever I'm cooking, I make 1 to 20 extra and share the joy.
