As I’ve gotten older, my hobbies have grown and shifted, but two passions have always stood out: firearms and smoking great food. I love diving into new gear, experimenting, and sharing honest reviews, tips, and personal experiences from both worlds.

I’m also a longtime fan of Revolutionary War history—and I enjoy mixing that era’s spirit with modern equipment and ideas. The image here is a fun example: a historical-style figure working with a WWII Enigma machine. This site initially took inspiration from the TV show Turn, and although its focus has evolved into cooking, smoking, and firearms, that historical thread still runs through everything I create.
