Then about 15yrs ago the internet appeared at our house and somehow
ended up on some cooking lists then to the bbq forums--the old Thead
forum was a marvelous resource!!! Now it seems most everything we do
has something to do with bbq--last weekend was a quick trip to Miss
to hang a bit with friends and cook abunch of food.
Don't even want to know how much is 'invested' in this hobby!!!\

My first experience was on a trip to North Carolina to train a salesman at
a new plant we had in Durham. We went to lunch and had "barbecue". Until
that time (about 1986) I though barbecue was grilling a chicken and
putting that bottled red sauce on it. The barbecue has some clear sauce
and was just shredded pork. What a way to learn about barbecue. I had it
for lunch every day that I was there.

That started me on a quest to make it myself up here in Yankee land. I
found a couple of books, and later, the internet. I too, was on the Thead
list and it was the best source of barbecue knowledge assembled in one CPU
and Monitor. Met some great people and learned quite a few skills.

I was on the OLD THEAD list too.
I too just got back from the weekend in Mississippi.
I built my first brick BBQ pit when I was 15 or 16 (50 years ago).
