Hello all,
I sort of jumped the gun a while back with no intro. Beg your pardon.  I have been grilling and smoking since 1974.  I've always had a Webber kettle and packed one with me throughout a military career of 25 years. I  smoked my first turkey on a Weber in 1977 (worst tasting gravy ever) but the turkey was great. I've cooked over charcoal, naked wood, and gas. My current gas grill bought a few years ago is a Ducane Meridian on closeout with side burners; also have a Brinkman Smokin pit pro; my trusty  28 inch Weber; a Lodge Sportsmans grill and this past spring, a Cookshack 066 which essentially caused me to retire the Brinkman. Retired in 95, I went back to work after a year of boredom, inactivity and lack of fix it projects on the old house we bought.  That's about it. I am looking forward to reading posts here as one is never too old to learn.

Welcome to the forum, ol sarge
I'm like O.D. and do the pellet thing.
Since purchasing my pellet cooker, I haven't thrown the juice to the Cookshack (08)
You'll never look back.
