Originally from Kansas City, MO ( Go Chiefs!). Landed  in California for 20+ years after serving 5 years in Okinawa Japan. relocated to in Central TX hill country. Traded TX hills for Co Rocky Mtns. & back to CTX.
I am a die hard kettle head. Smoking with post oak & pecan.
My first BBQ kettle was handed to me from my Dad, a 1980's 22.5 "  Sears Kenmore  branded Happy Cooker- (a damn near perfect knock-off of the Weber kettle) the reliable kettle has stood the test of time since 1980's and has smoked many a Thanksgiving turkey. I have added a Weber Performer Deluxe, a Weber Q2800N & custom Smokey Joe Mini WSM.  I  enjoy grilling anything & everything. My family favorite is Japanese Yakitori -brick method. I make my own "tare" marinade, and experiment with different types of Japanese grilling.
