Title: Introduction
Post by: SteelerFanInTexas on October 02, 2017, 10:35:09 PM: Hey all-
New member here who has never done any real smoking/grilling (aside from a regular old propane grill).

We just moved to the Dallas area from Boston and my 27-yo son has been talking about how much fun it would be to do our own barbecue. I'm more of a "why would I go through all that trouble if I can just buy it?" kind of guy, but his idea has taken root to the point where I'm very excited about this whole thing.

He did a lot of the research. I was leaning more towards the Akorn kamado, but he really liked the PBC and, since it was his idea initially, it just seemed right to go with the PBC. So we ordered it and it's scheduled to arrive on Thursday. So we're up for a great weekend: the Texas State Fair on Saturday and breaking in the PBC on Sunday. Woo hoo ;-)

Looking forward to getting to know you all and soak in the knowledge around here.

Chris

Post by: smokeasaurus on October 03, 2017, 10:45:44 AM: We just moved to the Waco area from Southern California a month ago. We went small town. We are about 30 minutes south/east of Waco in a little sleepy country town called Marlin.

I have emulated Texas style BBQ for decades, so I am right at home here "deep in the Heart of Texas"

Welcome and go Steelers.

Oh, PBC is one of our beloved forum sponsors and they have their own section in the sponsors section. You can post your PBC adventures there and we will be watching and rooting you on :thumbup:

sliding_billy: I'm not a yinzer - just grew up in football no-man's-land in CT and the guys in black and gold ruled the roost.

Thanks smokeasaurus - I've been watching the PBC forum as well.
