Title: Hi From North Carolina
Post by: lmtorres on August 25, 2017, 09:41:08 PM: I've moved around a bit, but finally settled in NC. Retired this past February and enjoying it very much. I've been a griller all my life and even tried some smoking on a Weber gas grill, but never really got serious BBQ and smoke. I recently visited a long-time friend and he made steak and ribs on his Traeger Bronson and I was sold (and blown away). I'm now learning what I can and will be buying a smoker soon. Since my wife and I are "empty-nesters" I'll likely buy a smaller one that I can add a second shelf to later.

Anyway, as I was investigating "serious BBQ" this forum came up a number of times in articles and blogs. I'm looking forward to learning and sharing with the good folks on this board.

Where do you live in NC? We have a few members around the state. Always nice to add another one.

I live southwest of Charlotte in a small town called Waxhaw. I'm right on the NC/SC border. It's a nice area and the folks are super nice here.

I'm a retired, long time griller, too.

We're going to have a cookout October 13-14th here in middle Georgia - about 5 hours away - and several folks from the forum will be driving in. It's always fun as we cook and share fellowship around the cookers.

We are just off I - 75 south of Macon.

For more details send me a pm.
