Hi, my name is Brian. I've been wanting to get into real BBQing for a while (normally I grill...yeah, I suck), especially experimenting with different smoked meats and types of wood. My grandfather was awesome at smoking meat and I think it's time for me to really learn how to do it. A friend of mine inspired me to get off my butt and actually do something about the desire to learn. He runs the BBQAddicts.com site (aka home of the bacon explosion) and seeing how much fun they're having with all their competitions and things is pretty cool.
I do internet marketing and oversee IT for a travel company that's based out of Portland, OR, but am able to work from home (or just about anywhere I want). I have 2 daughters and have been married for 10 years to a woman that can't cook
Looking forward to learning a lot from you guys and eventually being able to contribute to the community.
