Over the past few weeks I have been searching for a new pit and the posts here have been of the utmost value. I have bounced in and out as a lurker for a few years but now it's time to come out of hiding.

Although I am from North Ga., my grandfather raised me on North Carolina style bbq. I built my first pit in my backyard 12 years ago. It is a brick pit modeled after the pit by Dave Lineback. Since that time I have learned to appreciate many of the different regional styles of cooking and the sauces that go with them. Though I am personally a purist at heart, I have no issues with trying all the various techniques and cookers. For the past two years I have been competing backyard as part of team Q-inator! and we are getting reading to try our first pro event in December.

I am glad to be a part of the group and hope I can pay back some of the help that I have received here.

Welcome aboard ag80n, glad to have you as a fellow Brethren here.

I hope to see you in the Q-Talk forum soon. You'll find help on almost every topic from cooking your first Pork Butt to curing and smoking your own ham and bacon.

If you can't find the topic you need help with, or have questions about, just start a new thread in "Q-Talk". There are many people with years of experience that are willing to answer your questions and guide you in the right direction.
