Hi from San Diego...
« Reply #-1 on: November 26, 2013, 05:31:21 PM »
Hi guys and gals,

I just joined yesterday.   I am coming over from another forum as I was invited by a member there to come over here and join in on this forum.  I have yet to post here but I will make a post in the "Big Easy" section today or tomorrow.

I just got myself a new Charbroil "Big Easy" last week and cooked a 5.5 pound "test chicken" the other day in order to practice before the big turkey cook this Thursday. For the last ten years or so I have peanut oil fried my turkeys but the cost of the oil drove me to the Big Easy purchase.

Anyway, I am just a regular guy living here in San Diego. I do grill often (60 or more time a year) and BBQ a little too. So hopefully I can pick up some good information from you good people here.  I have no experience with the Big Easy, say the one chicken I did cook last week. That came out perfect, beginners luck  8).

Please be kind when speaking of the San Diego Chargers.  I know, I know, but they are all we have...

Lol, yes he was....   "ole Tim'ster" got it done in the end.   He must have looked-up my bio somewhere and had some reservations...  I needed to let him know I came here with "references".   I had to drop a name to get in, lol. 

Good to hear from you over here Tommy.
