• xenforo has sucessfully updated our forum software last night. Howevr, that has returned many templates to stock formats which MAY be missing some previous functionality. It has also fixed some boroken templates Ive taken offline. Reat assured, we are working on getting our templates back to normal, but will take a few days. Im working top down, so best bet is to stick with the default templates as I work thru them.

Hello many know me by my nickname Buddha.
I use to have several outdoor bbq get togethers through the chowhound.com site. There is met Kirk the famous food blogger from San Diego and also Professor Salt who introduced me to grilled pizza.

I actually got Professor Salt started with his first smoker a WSM that he picked up at a garage sale I think.

There was a food get together in the LA area and I helped Professor Salt inaugurate his smoker by cooking up a few racks.

Since then he has competed and done very well in competitions.

I have sold spice rubs for many years on the internet but just in the forums that I frequented which were actually mostly golf oriented, lol.

I have been a tennis professional for over 30 years and still teach in the San Diego area.

I also was a chiropractic health professional and my sister and I had a practice for over 20 years.

I have been an executive chef in Alaska the past 5 years or so working in exclusive fishing lodges.

I look forward to learning more here and maybe making some new friends.

My next project is to build an UDS which seems like a WSM but maybe it cooks differently?

Anyway, just thought I would say hello.
 
Welcome to our crazy little club house! It sounds like you've had a few different careers.
 
Greetings and welcome from Hickory, North Carolina :)

That's a nice set of credentials you have going there... I'm looking forward to seeing your posts with photos and recipes soon :) And yes... the UDS is sorta like a WSM... maybe a WSM on steroids!

Do you have a WSM also and how did it compare?

I am interested in the taste difference since the WSM has the water or sand pan
and the UDS is direct heating with the drippings creating flavor.

I have had a lot of different careers for sure!
 
Welcome! Glad to have you here.

(I grew up in Spring Valley...)

Welcome! I grew up in San Diego (Otay Mesa to be specific). My dad was in the Navy so I've moved all over since then. One of my sisters still lives out there, I love the weather but not the housing prices!

Welcome to the forum!

Spring Valley has changed some since then but Chula Vista has really changed a lot as well as San Diego.

They finally made the 125 HWY go all the way through after more than 20 years of talking about it.
