Welcome, MR, from middle Georgia.
I have learned a lot here by bringing my cooks in for review and having the guys tweak the technique or recipe a bit and have it turn out great next time. After a while I finally get it right.
I keep comparing my outdoor cookin' to the game of golf. Sometimes I make par, other times a bogey. I have made eagle and I have had to just pick up the ball and go to the next hole. My cooks turn out that way. Sometimes, excellent -- sometimes, toss it out. Whatever the results, I try to stay positive and HAVE FUN!!!
