Roll Call (Start Here First)

badfire2625 Thank you for the warm welcome! I currently own a Jambo Backyard and just recently purchased a used mobile Southern Pride SPK-500. I’m a bit of a habitual smoker-flipper. Over the years I’ve owned and then sold a Big Green Egg XL, Klose offset, Yoder YS640, and a Backwoods Fatboy. Cooking/food has always been a big hobby and pleasure of mine – notably BBQ!
jhouse5848 Nice. I have been trying to decide between the JamboPits, an Aaron Franklin pit and a Myron Mixon Gravity pit. I believe that Jambo has a several month wait, Aaron’s pits are two years behind and depending on the week, I can get the Mixon. Well, not counting the money/permission slip from the wife thing… Minor stuff like that.

badfire2625 I have 3 Jambo Pits. I think they are one of the best offset pit out there. The waiting time varies depending on what pit you want. Fans of Jambo on Facebook has some used pits for sale. I always got a Deep South Gravity Feed pit.

badfire2625 You can’t go wrong with any of those pits. I didn’t get any approval from my wife for a big Jambo but was able to swing the small backyard model, which is still quite a beast. She doesn’t like to cook so that helps me justify all kinds of food gadgetry and gear!

jhouse5848 Same here. But with twin 4 year olds, I gotta pretend that I’m getting permission…

Twins huh. Nice. Been there done that. They turned 30 this past summer. -
My name is John House and I live in Sioux Falls, SD. I’ve been doing BBQ smoking for about 15 years and just recently took an interest in jerky making. Just recently I made my first purchases at Walton’s and intend to make my first batch this week!
I am excited to find this forum and learn from the extensive knowledge base you have all contributed towards.
jhouse5848 welcome to the site. You have an opportunity to learn a lot and pass your knowledge along. Go Team Orange.

Apologies… but what is the team orange vs team blue stuff about? Is one team focused on any specific type of meat area or is it just some fun camaraderie amongst users?

jhouse5848 I’m new here myself, but I’m rapidly finding out that orange is better. It seems to be a fun competition thing between Austin and Jonathan and their respective teams.

jhouse5848 It is a deeply engaging competition between Jonathon and myself! It all started over which hat was better, the Walton’s Orange hat or the Walton’s Blue hat. Jon loves the blue and I love the orange. We encourage users to pick a side and help us try and build a bigger and more passionate team than the others. The competition comes and goes at times, but overall it draws some deep passions from each respective side, but all in good fun! That being said… Team blue is about to fall behind… Team Orange has been behind for a while, but I’ve been making a renewed push and we are officially tied up again! It won’t be long and team blue will be eating dust from team orange!!!

Austin renewed push = fake accounts or adding bots to your team. Cheating will not be tolerated!
-
Tex_77 I’m too competitive to cheat. I have to win fair and square. I don’t have a problem pushing the boundaries to win, but I won’t cross them.
Fat_Bob man, that’s harsh… Give me a minute, I’m going to leave the room to cry for a minute, but I’ll be back. Haha! You’ll learn to trust and listen to me and love me over time! Lol! -

Tex_77 I saw that. try to help these guys out and BAM. Made a new account and once I finally got logged in I get a mystery message to join them. Looks fishy to me. Probably cooking the books. LOL
Fat_Bob perhaps an audit is called for.
