Hello from Green Bay, WI!

[hamm2seven]

Hello everyone, I am a 36 yr old husband, father of two little girls (2 and 5) and lover of bbq. I started smoking about 7 years ago with a Masterbuilt xl40 gas smoker which served me well for several years and works great for hanging sausage in. Then last year I got the itch to step up to a better unit but with the two little ones decided pellets were the best choice for me to go with for the convenience, and picked up a Green Mountain Jim Bowie WiFi. Love this thing!

I have been to a couple local comps around North East Wisconsin and the competition bug has definitely bit me. Been talking to the wife about getting another smoker as well as taking my R&R 16ft enclosed trailer and adding the necessities for a comp trailer. I tend to jump into stuff with both feet (after plenty of research) which led me here. After lurking for some time, I decided this is the place I want to hang out, shoot the q, learn from the veterans, and try to point newer people in the right direction. I look forward to the new friendships.

There really isn't a better place on the internet to learn and share barbecue.
The comp bug can be strong. Hearing your team name called for a top ten is like a drug too.

Glad you found us.

Welcome to the brethren, Scott. Glad that you found us, and good luck in your comp career. My daughter and I do backyard comps, not sure if we want to jump into pro, but maybe one day. Enjoy yourself here.
