Hi there!

I can't tell you all how happy I am to be posting on the forum. For two years, I've been googling this-or-that barbecue topic, geeking out over the various posts on the BBQB site, and dragging myself hours (days?) later, bleary-eyed, to bed...

Throughout that time, I was improvising with a 22" Weber Kettle and a great little McGuyver smoking kit (the smokenator). Great results but very needy.
Two weeks ago I upgraded to a 22" WSM. Tears literally rolled down my face on the first use.
My marriage has improved immeasurably.

About me: by day, a photographer based in NYC and eastern Long Island. By night, an amateur chef, woodworker, and brewer. Current summer projects include a vegetable garden, a golden retriever puppy, and (god willing) a wood fired masonry oven.

By any measure, I'm a novice at BBQ. I've taken a stab at the staples, but without really observing/capturing what works and what doesn't...the intricacies of the craft. But now that I own a real smoker, I aim to change that. I've stocked up on hickory, spices, beer, Lipitor, etc.

Anyway I'd just like to say a big THANK YOU to the webmasters and organizers of the site for making this thing work. I'm happy to be here.

Welcome to the Brethren.

The easiest way to post a picture is to host it on a separate site, and then post the link using the little yellow square button at the top of the composing window.

Welcome welcome! Hope to see more of your posts, especially the wood fired oven when you get it going!
For photos I use www.photobucket.com. It is free and easy to use.
Just remember to shrink photos down a bit if they are large.
Also visit the woodpile, there is a photo thread. Love to see the puppy!
