Welcome. Are you a Fudgy or a Troll? I am a Troll. Never liked Fudgies much...

Welcome "tubitz"!! I love my Webber Gasser and have made some awesome meals on it. But, it's not for all dishes.

Sounds like you are on your way to having a great bunch of grill/smokers to make some really great meals.

I look forward to your pics and posts.

Welcome to the Pit tubitz

Welcome tubitz! Lots of folks here from the Great Lake State. Be proud of that gasser. Ya just got to have one or three of them.

Got any pics of that offset? I love seeing home builts. Oh and if you ever want to sell that tank let me know. I'll come get it and grab some fish from John Cross's while I'm there.

Looking forward to pics of your cooks and such.

I've been following the Amazing Ribs site for quite a while and decided that it was time for me to step up to the bar and join Pitmasters!

My history with barbecue has been long and storied - it started when I tried to cook ribs on an old Weber Kettle and they went up (not once, not twice but three times) like I had marinated them in gasoline!

In the 30+years since then, I've had three more Weber Kettles, an R2D2 Brinkman water smoker, a 600# offset that I built myself, a Weber Gas Grill(I'm ashamed to say) and my current lineup is a Weber Kettle with an LP charcoal lighter and a Rec-Tec Pellet Burner.

My wife made sell the home built off-set before I could buy the Rec-Tec. I wanted a pellet burner because I had a hard time getting up every couple of hours to feed the off-set. However, I do have a big air compressor tank and plate on hand to build another off-set!

We've cooked about everything you could imagine over time from pizzas (to die for) to prime rib and everything in between. I've come a long way with my ribs, too.

Looking forward to sharing with the rest of you crazy folks!

Keep Calm & Uke On!
