    Hello from Michigan!

    Hi All,

    I am new to the Pit and relatively new to amazingribs.com. I learned 95% of what I know about BBQ from Malcolm Reeds over at howtobbqright.com, but I am excited to join the Pit and soak in the knowledge. I am located in West Michigan (Grand Rapids), and interested in all types of cooking and food science as a means to an end... eating delicious food. My current specialties & favorites are smoked chicken, ribs, steaks, making Indian curry from scratch, Hot Chicken, handmade pasta (shoutout Chef Evan Funke) and Chilaquiles

    I am interested in improving/learning/discussing the following in no particular order:
    - Making my own chili powder. Currently experimenting with various pepper combinations
    - Building a dry aging setup, as well as taking a crack at making Pancetta (although Bot scares me quite a bit), which I can't seem to find any of high quality near me.
    - Brisket Brisket Brisket
    - Food science. I am a science guy, love Alton Brown, and the more science oriented nature of this site!
    - Consistent excellence with Ribs, Pulled Pork, and Brisket
    - Improving my side dishes with grilled smoked food
    - Sourcing high quality meat and smoker wood in West Michigan

                  Hey BigCountryQ ! Where do you source your wood and meat from? I love going up to Bird Farm Meats in Howard City... but am still in the process of finding a local butcher.
