Hi Bill,  glad to see you here on the forum.  I have joined a few comps in the last few year with CharBroils Bigh Easy's and SRG's as my only cookers and will soon (I hope) get enough parts to  build my DCBE's for comps.   Since gas is not allowed in some of the backyard comps I had to do infrare another way    I hope to beat them at their own game. 

Again welcome and looking forward to seeing your cooks

Hey Bill,
Welcome.  We need more competition cooks here.  I am a KCBS Certified BBQ Judge and am always looking and learning from competition cooks.  I even took a competition class from Rod Gray a while back.  Boy did I learn a lot from that.  Enough so that I bought a pellet grill to cook on at home.

got a traeger075 but still like the old and slow cooking method......just bought a 60 LANG   and picked it up yesterday.......got a big fire going and smoking it up now.........

Those Langs are beautys!!
I think we need a "Show us your pits" section...hint hint

hey smoke,    i fired up that lang for the first time today and was impressed at how fast it came up to temp.and being able to control smoke and heat was spot on........i ran it up to 325 and then backed off and just let it smoke itself out........about one more good run thru and it will be just about right for cooking on.
