Greetings from the ATL!

I recently retired from a corporate gig after 30 years roaming the world on someone else's dime and I've decided jump back into this thing y'all obviously love so much. BBQ has always been a big thing in my family with roots from St. Louis to the Texas hill country - sticky sweet and plain old salt and pepper get equal weight in my house. Also, my BBQ is sometimes just the first step along the journey to the end result. I may throw something on the grill/smoker because I want brisket tamales or pulled pork stuffed baked potatoes - a slightly different twist on "what the fark do I do with the rest of this brisket."

The forums have already proven to be invaluable - I just pulled the trigger on a new YS1500 thanks, or maybe curses, to a few of y'all! War Eagle and Hook Em' Horns!
