Air Force brat first 18 years of my life, visited lots of the world. Spent 38 years working for DoD, 8.5 as a sailor and 30 as a civil servant doing computer work, cyber security and systems testing. Retired in 2008 and moved to Florida panhandle. Do a lot of cooking but little grilling. I thought at 65 it is about time I learn to do it the right way. I can stuff from the garden and can meats. Interested in learning about ways to smoke and cure meats.
