Ok, I filled out the paper work! I'm so excited. Thank you to all involved!

I have to clarify something from my earlier post. We have pretty cold winters here, but we only get a good snow a few times a year. When I re-read my post, it sounded like I cook in the snow all the time. What I meant was I grill at least once week during winter, even if there is snow out there! We got about 5 inches today...i didn't grill!

I'm from Texas, moved to Idaho 13 years ago due to my husband's job. Some of my coworkers invited us to a BBQ. We got there to find hamburgers and hotdogs!?! Where I'm from, BBQ has a dry rub or sauce! I was pretty good with the pit, but no expert. Didn't need to be...never far from great BBQ in Texas. Well, here in Idaho I had to up my game. I found this website a couple years ago. It seems I follow lots of Meathead's advice, (is that a reflection of my character? Just joking, I don't know Meathead at all, but I love the personality expressed throughout his articles.) I bought a vertical smoker thanks to an article I read and have done some pretty good pulled pork! I have a backyard pit with a side smoker and can do a fair job with brisket and ribs. I only have inexpensive equipment I've purchased at end of year clearance sales! I won't know what to do with quality equipment...but I intend to figure it out!

Anyway...last April as I was looking up something on this site, the pop up appeared about joining. I like the site, use it fairly often, so thought the support was worth it. I didn't do anything different after joining. I can see now that I haven't explored all the options members have at their fingertips! I will do better! Any advice?

After WAY too much info, I have a request...everyone send positive vibes for a snow day tomorrow!!!!

Teachers around here go out and do "the snow dance". Results vary by region.

kmwweiskircher - I do have a bit of advice for ya. Try smoking a chuck roast just like you smoke pork butts. The only change would be to use a rub designed for beef like Big Bad Beef Rub or Montreal Steak Seasoning. Smoke it until probe tender, cambro it, and then pull it.

[Craigar]

I will second what RonB said. We love our chuckies!

Congrats on winning! I'm really glad to read what you wrote. It sounds like you have a lot to contribute based on your history and experience. What type of vertical smoker did you get and what have you been cooking lately? Just by virtue of cooking once a week outdoors you fit in with this group perfectly and it sounds like the prize went to the right person (although I was keeping my fingers crossed for myself). I look forward to seeing pictures and learning from you. Congrats, again.

[David Parrish]

Sending positive vibes your way!

Don't forget to tell your second graders of the minnows you saved from Huskee. Oh, & show them a picture of the aforementioned minnow killer. It will have more impact.
