Title: New to the forum, but been cookin' awhile...
Post by: PepperMike on February 22, 2013, 09:08:23 PM
....always searching for the perfect Q'.
Been cooking KCBS contests off and on since 1999 as Firebreathers Barbecue. We cooked on stick/charcoal pits until about two years ago. I now have  (3) pellet cookers, a Traeger Executive, Green Mountain and ProSmoker 100SS. We use the ProSmoker & Traeger at contests.
The ProSmoker is getting an upgrade to a Savannah Stoker controller this weekend and a Rock's Stoker WiFi next week. I look forward to getting a little sleep at contests, but expect that I may need to hire a teenager to help me set up the Stoker WiFi......
Any advice is gratefully accepted, whether it involves computers or BBQ.

Well, some would say that they aren't tools... but Big Boy's TOYS... Either way, I like my toys...errrr..TOOLS.
I have a 'thing' about temperature control. We had great success with my GoodOne Model 60, but I'm getting too old to stay up half the night to babysit the firebox.... even with a GURU, there's always something to mess with on a stick burner.
I'm really looking forward to controlling the cooker through my laptop

It's great, more capacity than the FC100 and with the Savannah Stoker Controller that replaced the original Traeger controller, I have almost infinite control of smoke & temp.

No Pepper as in HOT peppers.... been growing different varieties of hot peppers since before it became cool.... one summer, my garden had 92 varieties, most started from seed in a little greenhouse.... My sons and I did chili contests before getting into BBQ, hence our team name...Firebreathers BBQ

Of course.  I should have paid more attention to your avatar.  Wow, 92 varieties!  I probably couldn't perceive the differences between them.
