Howdy! I've George Van Wagner, aka GVDub, and I've been grilling, in one fashion or another since I was a kid back when TVs only had 13 channels, and most of them were static.
I'm also a guitar-playing musician, recording engineer, producer, songwriter, half-assed music journalist and writer of (thus far) unpublished fiction.
I've done cooks on everything from a cheap supermarket hibachi to offset firebox smokers, and currently am cooking on a crappy, leaky, "temp control? What temp control" Home Depot grill and am looking to upgrade to something a little better.
I know, through the music connection, Sterling Ball from Big Poppa, and have been looking with interest at his UDS kit, but am also attracted to the PBC, so registered here to see what other folks have to say. Back before the economy melted down last decade, we had a house with a nice backyard and I had to chapped, channeled and heavily modified cheap offset smoker on which I would turn out a batch of Carolina-style pulled pork a couple of times a year and throw a bash. Hoping to get back to that, plus explore new things to put over a well-banked, slow-burning fire.
