Getting peronsal
frohe
the person behind the posts made here. But, I thought maybe we could have a
bit of fun here by spilling a few beans about ourselves. You know,
something short to kinda introdude yourself to the rest, like what Q rig(s)
you run, how long you been Qin', and other pertinent factoids you want to
include. But, certainly not a detailed account of your life to this moment;
IOW, no diarrhea of the keyboard.
I guess I'll start then.
- Net nick: frohe (it's German for happy which is my general demeanor most
of the time)
- Age 53, married 26 years with 3 kids, one married, one in college and one
a senior in high school
- I use a really fancy Q rig - a 55 gallon drum I got years ago. Was raised
on a drum from back when I was knee-high to a toadstool so I don't know of
any other way to Q.
- I live in central Texas and work as a civilian strategic planner for the
US Army at nearby Fort Hood. Retiring in 3 years tho.
- My other hobby is cycling. Got into it after having 3 little strokes and
being diabetic. Docs say it's good for my health. Who knows.
Ok, your turn.

> Ok, your turn.
I've been on the 'net since ARPAnet. I don't need no steenkin' screen name.
I'm 50. Been married a total of 26 years, only 7 to the current wife. We
live in central Massachusetts, fifteen minutes from downtown Worcester.
Two beautiful step-daughters. The older one recently graduated from
Tufts School of Veterinary Medicine and is now an intern at Angell
Memorial Hospital in Brookline, MA. Sbe is getting married in March of
next year.
The younger is starting a career in restaurant service using her partial
education at Johnson and Wales, Providence.
We have a tiny horse farm with a four stall barn, 1.5 acres of pasture
and three horses. Two are geriatric cases (a grade pony ~32 and a
thoroughbred ~25, both geldings) and a two year old fillie. The old guys
were the daughter's mounts when they were collecting ribbons by the
bushel basket. The fillie is my wife's reaction to having an empty nest.
I'm a software engineer (whatever that means) and have been an
independent contractor for over 25 years. Currently looking for work.
Will program for food.
I have high blood pressure and must avoid salt as much as I reasonably
can. I've been reducing the salt content of the various rubs I concoct
and will continue to do so until I notice something wrong. It may well
go to zero.
The rig described on my website (link in sig) is my first and only
smoker. I've been having a blast with it, in the figurative sense.
Other hobbies include collecting movies and playing farmer with my John
Deere 870.

Not a bad idea, frohe, and thanks I've wondered about what exactly frohe is!
Here goes:
I'm 25, been married 2 years, no children, recently graduated with a B.S. in
psychology, working on my master's in mental health counseling. Currently
work as resident advisor in an adolescent alcohol/drug treatment center. I
live in Jackson, MS. Don't have a long history with Q'ing, only about 2
months. I bought a NB Silver Smoker, and so far enjoy it. As far as any
other hobbies, I'm goign to sound like a nerd I suppose, anything dealing
with psychology, science vs religion debates. Oh, I guess I should add I'm
a preacher's kid of a southern Baptist preacher. Superman comics, video
games, and thats really about it! Oh, someone else mentioned the old high
blood, I too am on medication, yes, only 25, mostly hereditary, and a bit to
do with my weight. So actually should stay away from all that pork, but its
SOOO good on the NB!!!
Later!

I have also been reading this group off and on for a long time. Learned a
lot.
I am 64, and grilling and Q'ing for a long while. First attempt at smoking
was the ECB and a kind of disaster! From that one, which finally fell in on
itself, I went to the next model Brinkmann, the one with the longer door and
made of real heavy gauge stuff. It done a world better, but I changed it to
"lazy Q" and it still does a bang up job. I use it to finish up butts when
I just don't have time to stand and watch. I have a Turkey fryer, which I
have found more useful for southern fried catfish than turkey. However,
from this group, I learned it's most useful of all to light charcoal!!
My latest is the New Braunfelds Bandera, with the mods, and I really like
it. Since I am borderline high blood pressure, shouldn't be eating fats and
salts. But heck, eat right, get plenty of exercise, and die healthy, they
say!

OK, I'll bite---Buzz from the middle of Wisconsin. 54yrs old married(24yrs)
3 daughters one still left at home.
Been grilling forever, then ate some real 'que and knew I wanted to learn
to cook like that ! Started with an ecb(orange), then to wsm, bandera and
even an occasional attempt at cooking direct over coals in a cement block
pit.
Cooked at one kcbs contest so far--not sure if there will be more in the
future(and the team wasn't last in any catagorys) its a pricey hobby. It is
much more fun inviting over a bunch of folks, cooking a couple cases of ribs
and enjoyu some adult beverages
Main pastime is riding my Harley('85flht) along with wife on her Sportster.
Been working as a supervisor in a small steel foundry for about forever and
wife works in a local paper mill and is a volunteer EMT with local ambulance
service
And the best part of being on the net is the irl meets that have happened

I'm 45, married 10 years now to my second husband. I've got two grown up
sons from the first go round. We've got three granddaughters.
We live in the southwest corner of Kansas. Hubby works at IBP, (the world's
largest beef packing plant) he's the box shop supervisor. I don't work
outside the home right now.
I learned to grill over a hole in the ground. The only part of a grill I
had at that time was the cooking grate. Sometimes I could afford "real
charcoal" (briquettes) and sometimes I sent the kids out to look for wood.
Elm tastes kinda funky, cottonwood isn't too bad. After a few years I
bought a real charcoal grill, I think it was a sunbeam square cooker, and
cooked on that for several years. Then one day about 7 years ago I
discovered a New Braunfels horizontal offset smoker in a local store. It
wasn't long after that that I discovered lump charcoal. The rest they say
is history.
My other hobby is quilting and we started a garden this year. I know we'll
expand the garden next spring. Since our house is new and this used to be
farm ground the yard is full of weeds so we made planter boxes out of
landscape timbers. We built two this year and we'll build at least two more
next spring. So far it's been weed free gardening and the plants are doing
extremely good.

No net nickname-been reading this group since it started (on and off,
mostly on until last year). I'm a 31 yo junior in college, political
science and history are my areas of study. Been into Q since my first
Ribfest back in 1990-don't own a rig right now (that apartment living
in the philly area sucks!) Mostly I Q on friends weber kettles or
when I go camping-It is possible to smoke ribs on a campfire-using a
foil tent over the ribs. Someday I'll get my kamado#7!

Piedmont NC, forty minutes from Lexington, NC.
Ten good and two great BBQ places within fifteen minutes of the farm (that's
pretty close as the nearest grocery store is fifteen minutes away)

Brick pit at the shop. Also have four Weber kettles (for grilled oyster

start up the pit. Designing a new pit now, old one is at least forty years
old and has seen better days.

First time as a pit boss for a pig picking was at eighteen. This is
piedmont NC where we start helping BBQ when we can walk. Doing shoulders
and such probably started around fourteen.

My name is really Fred and I live in SE CT. I've been grilling and smoking
for a lotta years, but it's only been the couple of years that I've hung
around here that I've done any bbq correctly Thanks, folks.
I'm 44, recently single and I make maps for a living (own a small
surveying/mapping company). In my spare time (hah) I like to brew beer, q
meat and make films with associates. I don't like computers, they are a
necessary evil in my business (if you bought a car that ran like a PC you'd
be slapping the dealer around every day). The bright side is reading ng's
like this and email.
Anyway, that's about it. If you guys are ever up this way, let me know; I'd
be happy to spring for some frosty lagers.

bits with some of you. It's funny, because I was just saying that I
didn't barbecuers and kayak builders crossed-over. Maybe that is
possible. I've done a little ocean kayaking over the years and am
thinking about starting a stitch & glue kayak in a month or two.
I'm 43, started to feel guilty about the homebrew and barbecue, so I got
on my rowing machine (or "erg" for those who have seen one), and can now
consider the homebrew and barbecue as much-needed fuel. I hope to eat
more and exercise more in the coming decade.
I've learned a lot listening to this group. Listening to to questions,
answers, and arguements (did I say arguments ... no, I must have meant
something else) is a great way to learn. Actaully, this is a pretty
friendly group. Things are more likely to flare up in rec.craft.brewing,
or rec.food.cooking.
I hope to make it to the Texas Q-Fest ... we'll see.
BTW, home-brewed hard cider(*) and garlic make a pretty good marinade for
beer-can (or vertical roaster) chicken.

They have employee meat sales. I'll have him bring home a price list, it

can buy cheek meat by the case though. Every once in a while they have
special meat sales. The last time they had rib eyes for 25$ a box. They
limited those one to a person. They also had boneless pork chops and
breaded chicken patties.

Mike Willsey, (Alias: Sweets, Sweets was an old jazz man that played in
St.Louis bbq joints ages ago.)
North Central Indiana, 47, married, 3 kids all long gone, started grilling
chicken slathered with Open Pit Sauce, for years. Started on one of those
K-Mart boxes, with hinged glass door, adjustable grill level, warmer shelfs
and briquttes.
Eventually started marinading chicken breast and strips of beef, on a tiny
Smoky Joe kettle grill.
Made a horizontal cooker out of a 55 gallon barrel and used for a few years.
Bought a Bullet/Water Cooker for Turkey which got my first step in smoking
going.
Started reading all the "bull" stories here and bought an NBD which I used a
number of years working on indirect with lump and logs plus doing direct for
grilling. Spents winters cooking with an old Navy wool blanket wrapped
around the body!
Then came across a free 2 door commercial freezer and converted it to a
cooker. I have cooked a 165 pound whole hog in it, plus brisket, turkeys and
potatoes.
And I started up an MSN "Community" web page where I placed as much bbq
reference info I could for all to use for free, still there,
http://groups.msn.com/bbqusa
Owe all of my "real" q'ing skills to all here that have answered my
questions through the past several years. Because of this group I have
learned to make lump charcoal from scratch, learned about lump, and many
techniques, recipes, tips, tricks, polders, etc..!!!!!
Hell of a bunch of swell people here, even the gals are kick ass Q'rs too!
;)
Met other great local Q'rs in my area and had a great time with that. Found
out about Dragon Turds and making sausage too!

A Dragon Turd is made with Habanera instead of Jalapeno.

Can you be a little more specific? I'm assuming it's not a Dragon Turd
made with Habenero. Cough up the recipe, Dude!

are Jalapeno's stuffed with Philly cream cheese, maybe a stuffed olive on
the cheese, then wrapped with bacon and smoked until the bacon is done. Use
for appetizers to keep the crowd controlled until the meat is done.
For Dragon Turds, use Habanera instead of Jalapeno. You can be creative
with either. Delicious.

37&5/6, married with 3. Girl 19, boy 14, girl 5&3/4.
Served my first chicken Tartar in an ECB in about 1990 and have been
learning ever since. I don't get many complaints on end product anymore.
Currently using an SNP.
I live in middle TN and swim in computers all day, working for a major
auto manufacturing company. (DEC Vax is as bad (or good) as it got)
In my spare time, I plug my Carvin guitar into my Fender amp and make

Jim here.
I live in SoCal, about 70+ miles east and slightly north of LA.
39 yoa as of yesterday.
Presently single, no kids. (2 very unruly dogs though).
I work as a weld shop foreman for a fairly small but growing manufacturing co.(
We build pressure washers/steam cleaners).
I've been Q'in for 4 yrs. or so. I started on a ECB, recently moved up to a
WSM. I also have a Weber kettle for grilling and for roasting chiles.
As for hobbies, I love fishing; preferably saltwater- tuna, yellowtail, etc. I
like to cook. I do some homebrewing, not as much as I used to. I have won a few
ribbons for my pale ales in the past.
This has been an interesting thread.
It's good to know a little about the people behind the names.

Dragon Turds are Jalapeno stuffed with sausage, wrapped with bacon, held
together with a toothpick, cooked in the smoker till Jalapeno is wilted
looking and soft. Then I add an extra, I put on a little Sweet Bay Rays bbq
sauce.

Sliced pork tenderloin with some lemon pepper and IIRC either wooster or
soy, soaked for a bit. Half a chile; habenero for Dragon, jalepeno for Wolf,
wrapped with 1/2 slice thick bacon skewered with a toothpick and grilled.
Worth the labor to assemble. The full name, to give proper credit is:
Bigwheel's Cowtown Wolf[Dragon] Turds. Bigwheel is an LEO in the Dallas area
with a twisted sense of humor. I'll see about getting him to post here more
often.
