Just stumbled onto this site from the "Smoker Cooking" site and surfed it before joining, What a Great Place. I am retired military and after traveling the country/world trying different BBQ I have truly loved the flavors. I have tried for many years trying to duplicate the tastes with charcoal or gas grills. I have even tried the wood chips in the smoker box on my gas grill, to no avail. Recently I purchased a small brinkman charcoal/water smoker. I have not yet used the water portion of the smoker yet, just the charcoal and wood chips/chucks and I have finally found that TASTE I love. Now I spend allot of time surfing the web looking for new recipes and techniques for the smokers. I am lucky as my family like BBQ and don't mind being my test subjects. I don't think I am ready for competition yet but would love to go and watch a couple of these events and taste the food.

Arizona RULES and Texas DROOL for BBQ.

Thank you all for the nice welcome.

I tried to start a new topic and post some pictures, but my files are too big. Can any one tell me how to resize them so I post a couple of pictures

[Quiggs]

Place photos into a Photobucket (free) account and it will take care of sizing for you. Copy the IMG code below your photo and simply paste into your reply or new subject.

Welcome! Microsoft Photo editor also has a resizer--I was lowering my pics to 30%, coming out to about 640X480. Now I'm using Flickr and/or Photobucket. Hope to meet you at some events. Are you in town? or another area of AZ?
We need more northsiders...
