I'm an ol' guy. Learned about you from the same forum that norcoscia came from. I have focused on pizza for the last 5 or so years as my Italian heritage has driven me towards baking.
... but my American heritage is driving me towards BBQ more ... I have a pal that is mentoring me on smoking. ... but sure have much to learn! Have dabbled a bit in sausage making for pizza and breakfast sausage. Still looking for the ultimate sage breakfast sausage!
Looking forward to the journey. Sure looks like a good board from what I've read this morning.
All the best,
Dave aka BigMoose
