Have I found home?...
« Reply #-1 on: January 20, 2013, 09:49:07 PM »
....well I sure hope so!
My name is Jeff, and BBQ has been a huge passion of mine for a decade...I've been through a slew of cookers, and have learned that sometimes it's the cooker, and sometimes it's the man or woman who is doing the cooking.  In other words, I've been happy with sealed metal smokers, charcoal burning ceramic cookers, and so on. They are all great. Recently though I've dipped into the world of Pellet Grilling/smoking, and I feel like I'm on top of the world.  I want to try EVERYTHING possible that can be made in this type of cooker.  So here I am, ready to learn from the best, and ready to share whatever I can contribute from forthcoming triumphs.
Cheers,
Jeff

Jeff:

Like you, most of ( if not all) us have tried most or all of the technologies currently available. And some of us, like to keep at least one of each at hand for just changing things up a bit from time to time.

But, having said that - I do really like pellet cooking. It offers technology for great control - but still cooking with wood. What a great combination - yielding some of the best food you will ever eat!

It is great to have you hear. You will find the members here to be open minded, and enjoy the friendly exchange of ideas and recipes.

Welcome to the forum, Jeff.  I'm new to this forum and relatively new to cooking so I'm looking forward to your posts.  Don't forget to include photographs.

Yesterday, when I was carving unicorn roast with my laser knife I noticed that the flux capacitor on my interstellar grill...  See, it needs photos.   ;)
