For years I would hunt, fish, ride motorcycles, played many sports from baseball to hockey but my knees can no longer do most things I love to do anymore.
So my love for cooking really came at a good time in my life. I just had two major surgery on my stomach and todate it's been 20 in 18 years
My late father was a great cook and taught me a lot about cooking which I love to do so when I came across The Big Easy for the first time it hit me I needed it and well
here I am 6 Big Easy's and many grills and smokers later I found my stress relief and passion all in one. I was one of the first to join the Sizzle On The grill forum
and # 2 to sign in on letstalkbbq! I have met some of my best friends here and from the Sizzle On The Grill forum. Although we rarely meet face to face just being on the forum
and having cell numbers to call when I need help, info or can give advice on "how to" with infrared has been a great joy in my life!
As I was working on things around the house last night it hit me how much this forum means to me and friends that I have met over the years weather face to face at BBQ outings,
BBQ contest or just talking over the phone. Kimmie used to say "meeting people" from the net, are your crazy?? But then she meets folks like Uncle Dee, Tim, Art, Jack, Terry, RAD, Gus,Larry, Rick & Chris just to name a few and she really understands I have met some of the finest folks in this country.
One day the good Lord will call me home and that will be a day of rest, till then as long as I'm able
no hunk of meat or veggie will be safe near my grills/smokers Why do you cook??
