New guy from New York

Schoony628 · 06-30-2015, 08:20 AM

Hi guys, just wanted to introduce myself. My name's Darryl and I've been smoking on a WSM 18 for the last few years. A buddy of mine bought one a while back and showed me that he could do BBQ that was worlds better than any restaurant, so I just had to get myself one. My amazing wife bought me one for my birthday that year, how many people can say that their wife bought them their first smoker?
Last year, my brother and started a mobile BBQ business, basically setting up a tent outside our families farm stand and selling ribs and pulled pork. I added a 22 WSM to our arsenal, thinking that would be plenty of space for the small catering gigs that we were looking to get. Boy was I wrong. We blew up last year and have since realized that we need a much bigger smoker, not a bad problem to have, right?
Enter the Brethren. I did a lot of searching around the forum, mainly on Backwoods Smokers and stumbled across Humphreys.Thanks to reading all the amazing things you guys had to say about those smokers and Kevin, it was an easy decision. We just placed our order for Cubed Beast. Can't wait for our new toy to arrive.

Welcome to the forum Darryl, glad to have you join us and hopefully take part in the other forums. The cubed beast is a great choice for vending....

We don't have a lot of rules here other than spam and advertising are not permitted, the rest is just common sense, courtesy, and mutual respect for one another.

You'll find a great group of people here with a willingness to help and guide you, regardless of of how simple or how complicated you think your question may be. You'll also find that there are many ways to achieve great food, there is no single "cookie cutter" method as some have been conditioned to think. You'll just have to try a few different methods and soon you'll master the way that works best for you.

We'll be here to guide you and answer your questions as you begin your journey into smoking and BBQ. Pretty soon you'll go from asking questions to posting pictures of your progress, and we will all share in your experience as true Brethren.

We have many different forums here.... Below are just a few of them.

For discussion on BBQ/Smoking related topics, we have the "Q-Talk" Forum. This is a good starting point for all new Brethren.

For those who are interested in competing, We have a "Competition BBQ" forum.

We also have a "Catering, Food Handling and Awareness" and "Catering, Vending and Cooking For The Masses".

We also have a trading forum where members can trade sauces and rubs available from different areas around our country.

For general non BBQ related talk we also have "The Wood Pile" forum.

I hope to see you in the "Q-Talk" forum soon. You'll find help on almost every topic from cooking your first Pork Butt to curing and smoking your own ham and bacon.

If you can't find the topic you need help with, or have questions about a specific topic, just start a new thread in the related forum.

There are many members with years of experience that are willing to answer your questions and share their knowledge to guide you in the right direction. Collectively there is a wealth of experience and knowledge among the membership, including you. Don't be afraid to jump in there and share your knowledge and your experiences as well.
