Default Just wanted to say Hello to all of the Brethren!!

My name is Mike and I go by the handle of Spydermike72, there is a story behind the nickname. It goes back to my Navy days when I was an Air Controller and we all had to have callsigns, mine was Spyder so I just added to that for the Internet world.

I have always loved to eat BBQ and I consider myself a Grill Master, but about 4 years ago I got involved in this whole world of Low and Slow, and I have been hooked since day one. I competed for the first time this year with a good friend under the team name of The Heavy Duty Smokers. We only competed in 2 events this year, Cabelas in Dundee and The Taste of Grand Rapids. I think we did very well for a first year team, we placed 4th in Brisket at Cabelas and were in the bottom third overall. At Grand Rapids we placed a 5th in chicken and were in the top third overall, so I saw improvement and that is what we were looking for. Unfortunately my friend has to re-locate back to Alabama so I will no longer be competeing with The Heavy Duty Smokers, unless our paths cross again in the future.

In the future I will have my own team, along with my nephew Andrew, who has recently joined this forum under the handle of SmokeyEyed. We will be competeing under the Team name of Rubbed,Smoked and Sauced by next year. Until then I hope to become a productive member of this forum and make some good friends along the way!!

Regards,

Mike
