Hi, my name is Chris, and I’m addicted to barbecue.

Crowd: Hi Chris!

I’m a self-taught backyard pitmaster who’s been smoking meats for over a decade.

As with any new skill, the early days left quite a bit to be desired. Believe me when I tell you there’s nothing worse than disappointing a crowd of hungry people when you feed them smoked shoe leather instead of something tasty, mouth watering, and delectable, like these:

But, thanks to a couple brave and willing guinea pigs, and lots of trial and error, I finally got it figured out.

Now I want to share my tricks and secrets with you.

I’m in the early stages of creating an online BBQ educational series and am seeking a small number of students to participate in its development. If interested, please send me an e-mail at backyardpitmasternet@gmail.com.

Yours in smoke,

Chris Williams
