My decided abscence from the wave is due largely to the arrival of spring in NC and a cooresponding switch in focus from things computer to things BBQ.

I've got several ideas for new cookers and would like to converge on at least one for the upcoming season.

Blending Tech with Q is the BriskeTron. I own a Big Green Egg in addition to my current competition cooker.

I'm scouting for a used 250-300 gallon propane tank to use for a cooker like this or this

In case your just starting out, the ECB (El Cheapo Brinkman) can be modded up like this

I'm also following along with Jim Ball and his cooker

I won't fully describe the web odyssey that led to this and ultimately to the Pro Survivor. Lanny's got it going on.

Suffice it to say that I'm stoked for a big year of Q and I'm already feeling more balanced thank you very much.
