Greetings from Bristol town......

Hi to all the BBQ crew,

I'm a newbie to the low and slow movement although I've taken it to heart and plan lots of experiments in the future. I've had many types of food related hobbies in the past and hope to draw on all of my other influences and merge them with smoke. I'm particularly interested in Asian flavours, complex umami rich sauces based on fermented Tofu and Miso as well as Korean BBQ and the odd bit of science based oddness.

Together with a bunch of friends I entered Grillstock Bristol this year and walked away with the highly coveted last place as team Mob Handed. In retrospect the result can be traced to a giant lack of both skill and experience only surpassed by the excess of intoxicating liquors that the team consumed. I say team in the loosest sense as although we were called Mob Handed my brothers in arms were noticeably absent much of the time! On the plus side (and despite my 4am ramblings) I met some top people and the friendly spirit of the smoke pit has rubbed off. We will be back next year and the only way is up!!

I look forward to chatting the chat with you all and sharing some good tips and advice – god know I need it!

Hi Myles,

I spoke to a load of your team (and possibly you) @ Grillstock in the early hours. Its all a bit of a blur for me as well. I met way too many people to even try and remember names.

You guys certainly got the prize for the best tunes played that soundsystem was banging.

And that graffiti board looked the business

Cheers
