Howdy From La Vernia TX!
« Reply #-1 on: December 12, 2016, 02:20:42 PM »
Howdy and Seasoning's Greetings From La Vernia TX!

Found the site while looking for information on a CharBroil The Big Easy, and I think the boss-man is going to dock my pay for all the reading I been doing this morning!  :)  Thanks for all the great information and pearls of wisdom on the art and science of the SRG! 

I've been an avid outdoor cook since I was a young'n growing up camping with family and scouting.  When my USAF unit found out I could roast a hog - my ticket was punched for the whole assignment at Nellis AFB Las Vegas... hams and turkey for Thanksgiving - Christmas holiday party and Whole Hog, Chicken etc for the summer get together. 

We spent 9 years in Alaska, smoking and grilling salmon, moose jerky, you name it.  In Hawaii I was intrigued by the in-ground luau hog roast but never made the right contacts to learn the process. 

For the past 3 years we were stationed in Wiesbaden Germany and lived in a Forsthaus in the middle of the Tannus near Daubon-Hunsfelden. Now assigned back to TEXAS and ready to get some smoke a rolling! 

Appreciate all your wisdom and humor... hope that I will be able to participate.

Happy Trails!

Thanks for your support!   I retired in 2006 after 24 years. Missed it so much went back as a Civil Service!  What an adventure!


I've seen some of the mods, after work going to store for a spring mold and 4 brass elbows!  Get some Smoke on!  Mrs is from Thailand and classically trained in Thai Cuisine, so the WOK sounds like fun!

Thanks! 

Dan

Woks work well with the SRG, just make sure you get one that fits the opening well.       Also make sure you do not block the vent holes on the top of the chamber.
