Hello from HomeBBQ.com
Hello All,
My name is Kevin from the web site, competition team, and rubs - HomeBBQ.com. Having met Dave and Tim, and a recent emails with Phil, I wanted to come by and check this site out. Great job Phil, and to all that help him run it. A little about myself: I started cooking BBQ sometime in 1980 with a small ECB type cooker, I bought for $28.00 at an Ekerd drug store here in Florida. After relocating to Texas (Dallas/Ft Worth and San Antonio), I really learned to eat, cook, and appreciate bbq. In 1990 I bought a WSM (at that time they were shorter than they are now), in 1993 I moved back to Florida and bought a New Braunfels Bandera. It was a great cooker, and weighed a ton! Anyway, I also own a medium sized BGE, which I bought in 1996. In 2002 I got the competition bug, and decided to buy a Lang 84. I still use it in competition today. I would definately be considered a stick burner, and my wood of choice is Hickory. My wife and I have done pretty well in competition so far, and hope that continues. Look forward to posting here when I can.. |

Welcome aboard, Kevin! Glad you decided to check us out. It'll be interesting to hear your input from such an experienced Q'er.
BTW, nice to have another Florida Boy around! I was born and raised near you in Orlando. Back then, Oveido was considered "The Sticks", now the urban sprawl of O-Town has gotten so big, it's like a suburb of Orlando! In fact, my son-in-law lives in Oveido. :D

Wow - I thought I was old school with a '97 (left over from 1996) model. I didn't know NB Bandera's were around in 1993. Welcome and enjoy!

Thanks.... I really appreciate the welcome...
I am trying to think of exactly when I bought that Bandera, it was not in 93... I did move back to Florida in 93, I am thinking it may have been in 94. Its getting tougher and tougher to remember these things. When will we see you cooking down here again Tim? |
