Wow... nice into post!
First suggestion -- my initial observation is the site has way too many topics. Seems overwhelming.Perhaps the name of the site is a little behind what it has become. We are much more than just BBQ. And - we are not just about any one brand or type of equipment.
Most folks favor certain methods or brands - and that is completely fine. Others like other stuff. And - occasionally...we all may have an interest in what others are doing with different gear and a different approach.
Thus - there are more topics here than a site with a narrower scope - or mindset.
Hey - who knows, you may find a new way to do something here!
