Hi from Garland, TX

Postby mags » Sun Aug 26, 2007 3:22 pm

Hi everyone,

I bought a Brinkmann Gourmet Charcoal smoker a few months ago and I've been trying to learn more about smoking ever since. I've only lived in Texas for two years, Texas style BBQ is a pretty new concept to me. I am a newbie when it comes to smoking, I hope I will be able to learn some from you.

Regards,
Magnus

Welcome aboard, Magnus! Where'd you originally come from?

Don't hesitate to jump in here! I've only been into serious grilling about 2 years myself, but I haven't let that stop me. :twisted:

I'm originally from Sweden, I lived in Massachussets for 5 years before moving down here, neither place has much bbq tradition though :wink:

My wife is from Lousiana though, fortunately she knows the basics of smoking.

I was going to smoke a Lutefisk once. The Mrs told me that I couldn't thaw it out in the house. Stayed in the freezer until it got frost bit, then tossed. :cry:

thanks for the welcome! This is my second Texas summer, I did get to experience the lovely summer last year with 43 days of 100+ degree days in the DFW area. Quite different from the summers I grew up to above the arctic circle where it rarely hit 75 :)

True, but I'm sure our winters are quite different, too. :wink:
