Let me explain the reason behind the potential name change.
We are working on an additional new site - that is video focused. But - it will need to refer to a place for folks with questions and comments. That site will be called
Outdoor Cooking Digest. It is a work in progress right now.
When folks think about Outdoor Cooking - there are thousands of potential things that come to mind. Because of where we are - that is more often than not - called "BBQ". But, please recognize that BBQ is a part of Outdoor Cooking. This name is designed to not exclude anyone. Many folks will not think of BBQ in the broad sense that you or I might….
So - Outdoor Cooking Digest, needs a companion site for article and recipe storage, as well as Q and A about the videos, in threads hosted here.
But - here is the best part…….
The videos will be generated by YOU. There are some members here that already like to make videos, and - perhaps they will want to contribute, and help with tips for others. We will have someone to help you when using our equipment as well.We have purchased 2 complete camera systems - that will be shipped around. The are like the Go Pro System - but with some interesting differences. We can change the angle of view on these cameras in the field - without sending them in to a factory authorized shop. There is a chest harness and camera bracket - so that the "focus is on the food". In other words - no chef's coats allowed. No professionals. ( We may have "guest" cooks occasionally - later) This is a peer-to-peer process. Folks that love to cook - sharing with others. Family recipes. New ideas. Maybe something innovative that you saw or figured out…you name it!
Maybe this will explain my reason for the needed name change. There needs to be a cohesive name so that the 2 sites can best support each other in the search engines and with people looking for similar content. And - it will not affect any of your settings, you will still be able to type in "LetsTalkBBQ" in your browser and come here. The two sites will interface - but still be separate.
More later….
