Glad to be a new member here, look forward to learning from you guys and gals. This Forum was instrumental in doing my research when upgrading. Lots of positive clear information and not the bickering and criticism of some of the other forums.

Well a little about me, I'm 27 and originally from MN and was introduced to some good smoking and BBQ once I moved to Ohio for a job out of college. I really fell in love after a few trips down south on business trips to Alabama.
I love to smoke ribs and chicken for friends on the weekends and have ventured into brisket and pork butts a few times. Currently I cook on a Wal-Mart cheap offset smoker and have a 250 gallon oil drum trailer grill/smoker that I use for some big cooks with a few friends from work.

Just yesterday after a few weeks of research on this as well as a few others I placed an order for a Yoder YS640 with the competition cart. I plan on taking the KCBS judging class next month and judging a couple of events this year in order to learn the competitions from that side before cooking in one. This year will be practice, practice, practice so that hopefully by next year I will be confident enough to compete in some of the local events.

Glad to be a member, look forward to cooking and learning with you all.
 
Welcome BIGLEGGA, glad to have you aboard!
 
Welcome to the Brethren!! There is a wealth of knowledge and experience amung the members. If you have a BBQ or cooking related obsession or hobby this is the place to be. Sit back, soak up the knowledge and jump in there and be sure to share yours as well. If you can't find or get an answer to the question here then there is probably not an answer available.
 
Welcome to the forum BIGLEGGA, glad to have you join us and hopefully take part in the other forums. You'll enjoy the Yoder.

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.

Welcome, come on in, take your shoes off and sit a spell.
 
Welcome. I'm originally from Akron and still get up there a few times a year to visit family not too far from you in Columbus. Hopefully the snow will die down for you guys by May :-D.
