I don't need friends, I make beer.

[Samichlaus]

Hi all,

I would like to introduce myself. My name is Dan Taylor. I'm very glad to be here. I'm getting started learning about real BBQ, not a lot of it here in southern California. I just put a deposit down on a Klose BYC, still trying to figure out the options I'll need, (but that's another post).

Anyway, I love brewing beer, bulldogs(any Bull breed for that mattter, actually all dogs), old trucks, cooking, football, watching Ultimate Fighting Challenge, any and all motor sports, & my girlfriend. In that order.

I look forward to getting to know you guys & learning a bunch.

Here I am with a buddy and some Porterhouse steaks. I'm the fat ugly guy on the right. As opposed to the fat ugly guy on the left.

Welcome to the site!

We were just saying that we needed another fat ugly guy from California.

The workload was just getting to be too much for me.

You like meat. you like beer. You will fit in great around hear. These are some of the most knowledgeable BBQ people on the planet. And they are a lot of fun too!

So pull up a chair, learn what you can and share what you learn!

Glad to have you aboard!!

Welcome Brother Dan! There are a number of other brewers here, we all have a passion for Q and I especially enjoy infecting tofu land with the the wonderful aroma of Brethern BBQ. Don't be shy about asking questions or posting your experiences. We have a couple of BYC owners here who I'm sure will be glad to share their opinions.

Welcome New Brother..great intro

 

[parrothead]

Oh yeah, the BYC. I have one and here are a few things to consider.

Bigger. Think an extra foot bigger in the horizontal or more if you can. You will appreciate it better.

Grates. Get the pullout type. You will kick yourself later if you do not. I know Phil is.

Shelf. I had mine wrapped with stainless. Very nice.

Firebox. Upgrade to the 1/2 inch plate. It's a must.

Wheels. I upgraded to heavier dutier wheels so as not to have a problem down the road.

Send me a PM or to bbqchef33 if you have any questions.

Let the exchange of information start a flowin'

I'm going to call the REAL P.E.T.A. on you and they'll spank you hard.......well maybe it was me that was bad.

Anyway welcome.
