Hey ya'll! My name is Mike, grew up in Pittsburgh, PA. Moved to Eastern NC about 7 years ago when I had my first go-round with vinegar style BBQ sauce. HO-LEE-CHIT. I didn't know what I was missing. Anyway, I recently (last year) took up smoking on my own. I bought an Akorn and use that for majority of my cooks. I also have (though, haven't used) a 14.5" WSM, a Smokey Joe for the beach/camping/boat, and a propane grill (Charbroil) that I haven't fired up in probably a year, it makes a good storage spot for my wood chips and such, though! Anyway, I am thinking about getting rid of the propane and adding a Weber Kettle instead, doing some research on that, which brought me here! This year, I built and started keeping a log via Google Forms, should be NICE once I start getting some data!
Besides smoking, which a newfound enjoyment, I also enjoy woodworking, fishing, and just spending time with the lady and kids on the boat. Let just not talk about work...
My two most recent cooks and most recent finished woodworking project.
Saturdays cook, a 9lb shoulder, 15 hour smoke.
Sundays cook, a 4lb sirloin tip roast, 2 hour smoke followed by a quick sear.
My latest wood creation, an Arts & Crafts style mantle clock. Made of Southern Live Oak, Motawi Tileworks Frank Lloyd Wright inspired tile.
