[Holy Smoke BBQ]

Hello All,

I am a BBQ lover and have been lurker these forums for quite a while now. I work in construction and am current located in upstate NY, but also spent some quality time in AZ, TX, and IL. Married with a whole bunch of BBQ loving kids. I have been smoking on a WSM 18.5 for the last few years, but I just sent Tyler the money for a Shirley which should be done in Feb. 2016. I can't wait...

I smoke shoulder, chicken, and brisket pretty well, but ribs kick my bootie every time. Everyone eats them plenty good, but I just really feel they are not up to par with my other meats. I am looking forward to scouring these forums and getting my ribs dialed in...

Thanks all and see you in the pits..

HS

Welcome to the forum Holy_Smoke_BBQ, glad to have you join us and hopefully take part in the other forums.

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.
