Hi, Steve from Minnesota here. I have been processing my own deer sausage from home since the late 80’s. I really enjoy sausage making and smoking and discovered this site and figured it is always good to learn new tips and tricks.

Good day to all…
I have always loved to cook and entertain and in 1994 I started my own BBQ catering business in Olympia, WA. It was an immediate success and we grew to running 5 mobile wood-fired pits for 18 years until I was forced to sell to move to Texas to care for my wife’s mom who came down with lung cancer.
I was able to sell my business before I left (2012) and they are still operating under my name today. (Marv’s Marvlus Pit Bar-B-Q)
Today I have 3 ceramic smokers, a UDS (ugly drum smoker) that I built myself, a Louisiana Grill Pro pellet smoker, a FEC-100 (Fast Eddy) by Cookshack commercial pellet smoker that I kept from my catering business and this summer I bought a Santa Marie grill by Lonestar Grillz of Texas (built not far from where I live)…I think I am well covered in the BBQ area and today I cook for just my wife and I… -

I’m recently new to the group as well. I appreciate your hobby of owning bbq pits, I always aspire to do that too. I’ve been looking at the Lonestar Santa Maria unit as well. Someday I’ll have to pull the trigger on that!

BeerAndSausage You came to the right place. A real good bunch of folks here that’s always ready to help if you need…but your hat is the wrong color.

I grew up in your neck of the woods, (Fairbury). Haven’t been there in 50 years so that tells you something. LOLFat_Bob Haven’t spent a lot of time in Fairbury myself but I get your meaning. Not sure how to change that hat color.

BeerAndSausage you surely won’t regret any pit built by Lone Star Grills. Really their prices are great and they offer a ton of options/accessories.
My Santa Marie (36”X36”) base price was around $800 and after my options it boosted the price up to $2600 and change but well worth the $$ IMO.
