I've smoked off and on for years with my vertical water smoker and had good success until my husband went to a farm auction and came home with a stick smoker a few years ago. I started watching BBQ Pitmasters and fell in love with the show and realized I was just being a chicken not using it so I gave it a try without much success. It needs some TLC and a gasket to hold temp really bad. I'm working on it.
I love outdoor cooking. It's primitive roots appeal to me. I love simple no frills ideas and smoking fits me to a tee. I grill year round.
Two of my passions are learning and smoking stuff so the 2 go together. I found a recipe for smoked Cider and Bacon Beans and tried it over the weekend. I can't stop eating them. They are really that good. When your passions meet and converge into success, what satisfaction they make together!
I love to travel and see and experience new things. As soon as I check in somewhere I hit the front desk and ask a local where to go for good food. I've experienced incredible pit bbq and goat in Texas. Had the best crawfish at Coops in New Orleans. Ate at a different gourmet restaurant every day in the Berkshires in Massachusetts for the price of a Ponderosa steak house(best vacation ever!). I've ate Paella at a little hole in the wall 300 year old restaurant in Spain. Did I mention I like to travel.
So I'm here for the experience. Learning, sharing, questing, eating and drinking. I love both white and red wine and Michigan is known for it's craft and micro breweries as well as its vineyards so 'the land of lakes' is a true wetlands in more ways than one.
Nuff said. Smoke em if you got em.
