Hello from Southern Ontario
« Reply #-1 on: August 07, 2014, 08:47:16 PM »
Hello

Just thought I drop a quick hello. Was "Googling" a topic about another cooker for my patio "I'm sure my wife will be thrilled  :P" and stumbled on a thread from this forum - I was impressed with the friendliness of the group. Recently I was turned off by some of the behaviour I saw on a few other BBQ forums so it was timely.

So I'm a married father of 2 (11 boy/12 girl) and between work, house projects, camping, a little golf here and there I find time to BBQ. I love working around the house outside and constantly smelling the smoker and my soon to be meal.

I started with a Bradley - but found it wasn't cranking out what my pals with charcoal cookers or stick burners were doing. So my Performer took it's place. At last I found I was cranking out some good Q. Next came my WSM.....which made my "smoking" life even easier.

Anyways..........I'm no expert but I've learned a few things along the road. The people I serve always like my grub and at the end of the day, that's what counts. So perhaps I can hang around here a learn a few things, maybe offer a few things.

Cheers.

Glad you found us. Most members here were invited by someone, but occasionally - an intrepid individual such as yourself finds us - and we are just as happy to have you as well!

We DO strive to be friendly and respectful. It is the foundation of LTBBQ. But, we aren't "stuffed shirts" either, as you will see from how we often joke with one another.

Beneath it all - there is a tremendous amount of talent and skill in this group. And all of 'em are happy to share what they have learned. ;D

Welcome to the forum.  I was on other sites and found the same thing there so when Tee and I talked about him starting this forum it was like a breathe of fresh hickory smoke ;)

Jump in and post pictures, never get tired of seeing food porn :D :D :D
