Hi everyone. Been lurking for a long time, and I have been a member for several years on the BGE forums. I have built smokers and charcoal grills for the past 40 years. I work for an Electric & Gas Utility, so most of my crews are outdoor cooks. Some have pellet grills, smokers, Kamado's, and the standard Weber kettles. Most have at least 1 grill or smoker that I have built for them. I have also made them custom nests and tables for their BGE's or Kamado Joes. It's been a fun hobby.
I am retiring after 41 years, so I plan to do a lot more BBQ cooking, and fabrication work. I cook every weekend for our large family events, and 2-3 tmes a week for my and the wife. Always looking to invent the "better mouse trap", and I enjoy looking at your builds for ideas.
My neighbors always comment on how good it smells in the neighborhood when I am cooking! Looking forward to being able to contribute!

Welcome. Look forward to your builds.
Learning generally boils down to "Repetition or the avoidance of pain", some people learn by doing, some by watching and some just have to pee on the electric fence.

Congrats on retirement I think it's good to have things to do after you leave your career behind. Can't wait till see what you build

If it's tourist season, how come I can't shoot 'em?
