Welcome Shawn!
You will find folks that are fresh beginners - all the way to top judges in the BBQ world, and authors of BBQ books and monthly columns.
And the best part...? They are all "backyard cooks" too!
You will not experience a "better than you" attitude - just friendly folls that love to cook - and share ideas and recipes.
LTBBQ is the best place on the internet for broad based experience with every kind of cooker!
