New member - just joined last week. Have been taking on-line cooking classes for 15 months and decided to expand my cooking game to the grill past traditionally grilled steaks and chicken. Joined PitMasters because I had already 'stolen' a number of lessons from AmazingRibs. I had a successful smoked brisket and a successful steak reverse-sear using Meathead's methods - both on the first try. So I figured that I should join just to pay back the value I had already gotten.
My on-line cooking classes have several skilled grillers and smokers - I gotten the wants for a dedicated smoker, and asked a couple of those smokers what brand they used. All of 'em pointed me to PitMasters. I've learned a lot by reading almost all the smoker reviews. My wife and I have reached an 'agreement' (yeah, I lost!) that if I smoke something at least 3 times a month this year, we can discuss a dedicated smoker. Well she loved last night's brined and smoked Cornish game hen, and last week's reverse-seared rib-eye, so I'm on the way!
Btw, I used PitMasters' recommendations for brining the Cornish game hen and for a riff on Memphis Dust - I used brown sugar, allspice, coriander, paprika, garlic and ginder. My wife says to write that down, so success.
Forgot to mention: I grill on a Weber Genesys propane grill...so far!
