Tommy,
It is time for me to pipe in.  I CONCUR!!!

I love it here.  You certainly get "exposed" to all the different forms of cooking outside.  Not to mention the people are pretty friendly, too.

Hey Smoker Pete,
Is there any truth to you being a fellow sewer pipe sailor?  I was looking for something on "another forum" and saw a post by Warpath that mentioned our names in the same breath.

Spent 9 years in the U.S. Navy Art.  From 1969 to 1978.  Got to visit Asia a couple of times! Philippines, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Guam, Midway (got a picture of me and a Gooney Bird), Hawaii, and of course that lovely nation of Viet Nam    I was a Sonar Technician and served on Tin Cans.  USS Rupertus (DD-851), Barney (DDG-6), Parsons (DDG-33), and Farragut (DLG-6).

I’m just glad I was introduced to this site by Tommy. Thank you. 

I started with the CB site, which is also a great friendly site and ventured to a couple of others but they didn’t last. 

After this site and the CB site you get spoiled with folks that are true and just want to talk Q and not slam each other.

If I wanted to get talked down to I would stay at work or ask my kids a question.

I think we should all give ourselves a big pat on the back for making our forum a friendly place.  Tim has always said it is our forum and we all add to it with every post we start and every reply we offer. If you have been battered and abused elsewhere, we will leave the light on for you and come on home to Lets Talk BBQ. 

One other thing, my Pops told me years ago when I was running with a rough crowd that "You are judged by the company you keep" It is safe to say I am in great company whenever I visit here.

Well I left a forum because of the way it was administrated. Good folks on there but bad management.

I left another forum because of what the owner wrote about a member who is a friend. The owner almost immediately deleted his comments but I had already seen them. This person is a valued member of this site and should feel at home.

I have to admit that this is my favorite BBQ forum. I cook on lots of different equipment and here I don't have to worry about what it was cooked on or what rubs I used. It only matters that we all get to share in our passion and enjoyment of great food & friends. The way it should be.

I don't care if you cook on a grate that is laying on hot coals.... We want to see it!

As long as people respect each other then this forum will grow and become like a family. We are the base of the forum and as it grows this base will continue to support the entire structure. This attitude is passed on from the top down. And with the member base we have now this forum has a great start!

I have feel for anyone that has been roughed up - or treated poorly on a forum. And - really, I do not think of LTBBQ as a forum. I think of it as a community.
