It's a long story, and probably better suited for the Discussion and Reflection forums, so I'll post the one sentence version of how I got into cooking Q. We were living in a new state, with new jobs... new everything, didn't know anyone, and I started smoking meat as a way to occupy my mind during difficult weekends. I had no idea it would be so therapeutic. For me, to this day, it still is.
I have discovered that I unintentionally created a mental list of things I do related to cooking barbecue. I thought I would list them here, in order of most enjoyable to least enjoyable, and ask if others here may arrange the same list in a different order.
1. Cooking the meat and tending the smoker.
2. Giving leftovers to family and friends.
3. Eating what I've cooked.
4. Talking about smoking meat with a fellow addict.
5. Cooking something in the smoker that I've never cooked before.
6. Buying a new bbq related item.
7. Catching the holiday charcoal 2-for-1 sales.
8. Setting the smoker up for a cook.
9. Looking at other smokers Online.
10. Prepping the meat to be cooked.
11. Going to buy the meat.
12. Cleaning the kitchen after eating Q.
13. Cleaning the smoker. (No matter how many changes or additions are made to this list, cleaning the Humphrey's will always be my least favorite part of my sickness).
I'm sure I could add to this list if I spent a little more time on it. Originally, it was only 5 items. In the ten minutes immediately following typing number 5, I came up with 8 more. Your thoughts and opinions are welcomed and appreciated.
