Hey all, my name is Ken Johnson also known as BARBQR of the Forum. When Ray asked for takers to write for different categories on the BLOG, I wrote and told him I would be willing to do the Recipe section. I was shocked to receive an e-mail from Ray confirming that I would be doing the recipes. I am not a reporter as Hayden said, but will do the best that I can.

Now a few things about me. I am a police officer in a High school in the great state of Kansas. I have been doing this job for 18 years now. I love to cook and collect old recipes. My mother has given me several books that belonged to my Grandmother ,but the best recipes my Grandmother had, she kept stored in her head. THOSE are the recipes I wish I had. It was nothing for her to step into the kitchen and make a meal out of the clear blue.

This is where you all come in. Please send me recipes you have that you would like to share with the the rest of us. Ones that are tried and are true.

Some of the best recipes I have, have come from those who post on the Forum. Yes, I do make alot of the recipes that have been post on the Forum and will use them in years to come. Some of those have come from Salmon and Chez. These are the recipes I hope others will share and will be used by others. They don’t have to be just BBQ.

I’m looking forward to your e-mails and recipes. Also, if someone is looking for a special recipe, let me know and we will see what happens.

If you have a picture, please include this with your recipe. I know Chez has made me hungry just looking at the pictures he puts on the Forum. If it’s possible, I will post them along with the recipes. There will be a special page with email address of all the reporters soon.

I hope to have my first post within a week so check back often.
