Where are you from?
I live in Champaign, IL, home of the University of Illinois Fighting Illini.
What do you do?
I am a hand surgeon.
How long have you been cooking?
I have been grilling for years but just bought a Chargriller with SFB this summer and I am hooked on barbeque.
How old are you?
I am 40 years old
And anything else you wouldn't mind sharing.
I have really enjoyed reading information on this site and look forward to upgrading to a bit bigger cooker in the near future.
Cliff J.

Born in Richmond, VA. but spent most of my childhood in SW Va. Clifton Forge, Warm Springs, and then on to Blacksburg in High School.
Food Manager for Buffalo Rock Bev and Food Company (mainly Pepsi, etc)
Been cooking since I was a kid at home. First job washing dishes and then on to line cook and manager.
Finally graduated from UAB in 2004 at 41 so that makes me 45.
First attempt at real Q was practicing two weeks prior to the first (2005)Stokin the Fire Festival in Bham as Smokin Buffalo. I had never seen a brisket prior to that and now I love them. Cooked Decatur that fall and got my first call.(6th in brisket although I think beginners luck) 2 contests in 2006 plus the first battle for the bones. Started cooking almost every weekend after that. 4 contests in 07 and then 5 in 08 as The Smokin Hokie, . I am hooked for sure.
I now cook at home and compete on two WSMs

Hi all.... back for good now
I'm from Marlton, NJ right outside Philly, PA
I work a welding supply place my family owns and runs
I've been bbq since in high school, started taking it more serious about 7 years ago
Never cooked at or attended a tailgate party I didn't like. don't even go into the game. bring a tv and some beer and i'm happier than a pig in..... well, you know
pigs are only on the earth for us to eat!

I am from Huntsville,AL
I am a Journeyman Lineworker for Huntsville Utilities
Been cooking for quite sometime but competing serious in the shadtree or backyard for about the last 5 years
I am 36years old but feel older trying to keep up with a 9 year old son
My team consists of me and my wife Kelli who is the best partner i could ever ask for( because she keeps me focused and somewhat sober for the most part,,, ha ha ha) truthfully she is my bestfriend and without her i wouldn't cook anymore. W compete on a garage built cooker that me and my father built about 3 years ago and a weber kettle.

Formerly T&H bbq

I was born on a Navy base at Oak Harbor Washington, and moved to Richland Wash. when I was about 5.
I am a teamster (AKA truck driver) transporting stuff that makes you glow  I take it to a landfill for disposal, then I go home and stand by the BB-Q to get it heated up......Who needs charcoal when ya work at Hanford.
I have been cooking since I was about 16, and my parents went on vacation and left me to fend for myself. I am glad they did, cause I learned how to cook. They are both great cooks themselves so that sure helped.
I am 39, going on 40 in a couple of months. I haven't been posting for a while, but hopefully that will change. Been pretty busy round here.
Barbecuing is an art, and a helluva lot of fun. Good Q-ing to ya.Member since 12/15/2005
