Welcome from very chilly Wisconsin. But no matter. I just now put my chicken on the pellet smoker! The fun for you has just begun.

Welcome from Bham, a few miles northwest of you. Yep you have started down a rabbit hole for sure, but hey that rabbit hole gets to tasting better and better as you progress. You are in the right place to learn and make lots of like minded friends.

Welcome from the California Delta. Great place to learn. But, be afraid you have started down a rabbit hole.

Hello Pitmaster Club. Allow me to introduce myself.

A couple years ago a colleague in the office kept talking about something called a Big Green Egg. Other colleagues kept trying to reserve themselves some of the BBQ he was making so one day I asked him "What is this Egg of which you speak?" His eyes widened and he said "Tom, this will change your life!" He proceeded to tell me all about the BGE, and tasting some of his pulled pork convinced me.

After much research ("obsession" was the word my wife used) last summer I finally pulled the trigger on a big green . . . Weber Kettle Original Premium. It's my first grill bigger than a $50 Walmart special and I have cooked on it almost every weekend for the last four months. I've made burgers, bratwursts, hot dogs, chicken, steaks, ribs, pork chops, turkey breast, and my crowning achievement was a 5lb smoked pulled pork last week.

I'd like to say that everything has come out well; unfortunately it hasn't, but I have learned something from every cook so far. I look forward to learning more still from this here community.
