I'm curious about how and when you all got started grilling and
barbecuing?

I started when I was knee-high to my dad so I guess that makes it about 1952
or so. He had an old 55 gallon drum he cooked in every weekend.

I cannot remember when my Dad didn't grill stuff. I can remember him standing
out on a little patio in the San Francisco fog and grilling chicken or steak. He
bought a ceramic cooker like the Big Green Egg back in the 1960s that was
imported from China. He used to grill on that all the time.

About 4 years ago, I was in Las Vegas and ended up at Memphis Championship BBQ
for dinner. I had just purchased my own ceramic cooker--a GrillDome. Once I
tasted their BBQ I was hooked. So I bought Mike's book and started smoking ribs,
butts, and brisket.

My DVR is programmed at home to record anything with BBQ in the name or title.

I guess I'm hooked on BBQ.
