Hello from the Valley of the Sun

I too have been lurking and reading for awhile, and really enjoy gathering information on outdoor cooking.
We recently moved from Western Wa. to Mesa, Az and things are warming up. I don't have much more carpentry in me, and look foreward to spending more time doing what I love- cooking what I like to EAT! I hope to get much better at that, and I think I've found a great source of information in a friendly, enjoyable, and obviously knowledgeable group of people!
Been burning and making some tough dry meat for a long time now,, and although there have been some spectacular(to us) successes that keep be buying charcoal and chips n chunks, I need lots of improvement.
Plan to build an UDS as soon as we get some medical issues taken care of.
Weber perfomer, little chief, old uniflame gasser, some little kettles (there are only 2 of us), wasted money on an oilfree turkey fryer(doesn't work for me), real turkey fryer, tongs, chimney, weber electronic thermometer(helped a lot), old slow cooker with temp controller I put together with stuff from the interweb,, good shovel for digging burial holes for some of my creations.
Pretty much not computer friendly beyond reading. Hope I did this correctly.
TLDR: Hi

Thanks for the welcome Cowgirl and BillN
I enjoyed reading and picturdz on your blog for a couple lf hours last Sunday. Tanks for that too!
BillN, any advice to offer on summering in Mesa?

Thanks Aussietitch and Toymaster for the welcome!
I"ll bet it got hot in uniform doing what Marines do.
Last year we were in Mesa in mid june and it got up to 118 F
my energy disappeared that day. Had to have siesta. woke up with a desire for grilled chicken. had to get a potholder to open the outside door as the door knob was HOT!
