Thanks Dave I will add some energy to this forum. I am not a grill master like yourself, but my wife is from Dallas, TX and we visit there quite a bit and so Texas BBQ is her nature. I am originally from Topeka, KS so very close to the KC BBQ scene, but I am not a master. My father in law knows everything and everything about offset smokers.
I lost half my house to the California wildfire so my wife and I are looking to move to Dallas in May or June so we can be close to her family and we are going to start our own family so they would love to see there grand-kids on a daily basis. Once I am there I will learn the ways of the offset and I love BBQ and for some reason the best BBQ is Midwest to the Carolina's.
P.S. All you Cali's say there is great BBQ in California.......Nope don't go there
