I've noticed the majority of eggheads aren't around my age. At least that's what it seems like. I attended the Salado Eggfest and I think I was 1 of the younger kamado enthusiasts. I just turned 25. I imagine everybody is usually older or retired, or at least a different generation.

...the average age here has a direct correlation to the number of folks who become agitated when 'shared sacrifice' is mentioned in terms of folks your age.

Not so old that I've forgotten my very first grill. It was back in college when I had an attack of homesickness and was absolutely craving a juicy steak, seared over red-hot coals. Found a small, cast iron hibachi at a local hardware joint, and I was in seventh heaven! I never parted with the little bugger and it still rocks to this day!! BTW, that was 50+ years ago!!~~
