Howdy from Texas

Howdy Gents, I have been bbqing for over 20yrs- about 15 yrs doing compititions around the Central Texas region but I currently just do backyards bbq for the family and friends. I use a Oklahoma Joe Longhorn Edition (offset) and have a homemade pit built by father-in-law. I like to use mesquite and hickory for my heat source with some occasional pecan.
I also like to use sauce on my meats, there is much debate over here about sauce vs. no sauce but I always say "each to his own". I ran across this site while looking at some other bbq sites and I am really impressed with the pics of some your
cookoffs, look just like the ones over in the Lone Star State- lots of great Que, beer, and good times. I use the ID Limey as a tribute to my late father, a transplanted Englishman who used the nickname when dealing with his bookies,lol.
I still have some family around the St. Albans area, its been over 30yrs. since I visited when I was a teenger.
Anyway, I hope I can help and learn.
Thanks, Chuck

Hi Chuck,

Welcome to the forum, and thanks for the compliments, we are working hard to educate people over here in low and slow and the more experienced people we have on the forum the better.
Cheers
Toby
