    Hello from Upstate NY

    I bought Meathead's book (The Science of Great Barbeque and Grilling) to learn how to improve on my grilling. Soon after, Wal-mart had the Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560 on sale for $140 (from $500). AmazingRibs.com reviewed it here:
    Masterbuilt Gravity Series 560 Digital Charcoal Grill + Smoker Review
    https://amazingribs.com/ratings-reviews/combination-grills-smokers/masterbuilt-gravity-series-560
    Masterbuilt's Gravity Series 560 Digital Charcoal Grill + Smoker is a one-of-a-kind machine. It marries the ease of thermostatic control with smoky charcoal flavor. We haven’t seen anything quite like the Gravity Series. Read our review to learn why we love it in spite of a couple significant flaws.


    I told myself before that I wasn't ready to smoke meat; but at that price, I was ready. Even if this grill/smoker only lasts me a couple of years, I'll have gained the experience I need for a better quality smoker.

    I'm also a beer geek and I like to say my religion is Beer and Zombies. Maybe that should change to BBQ, Beer and Zombies.

        I loved it when I lived in NW Oregon (Hillsboro). I was in craft beer heaven! The Growler Guys need to start a franchise here in NY. Growlers are just now catching on.

              My last duty assignment was at Ft. Eustis. I retired from the Army there. Loved the Hampton Roads area.

              rstutzma Very familiar with the Fort Eustis area. I'm retired Navy. Other than the traffic Hampton Roads is not bad. Once again glad having you aboard and thanks for your service.

                    Western Mass is nice! Loved going to the Big E every year. After VA, we lived in 'Wustah'.
