Smoochy didn't help one bit.......too hot..it was about 103 when I was loading it at the store. I got dizzy unloading it. Took a breather and had a cold water.......early bed-time tonight.

Now I just need the grill and the off-set and it is on and smokin.................

You have to want to quit for any recovery program to work!

The 12 step program will not work when your blocking the steps into your home with charcoal ???

OOOPS!!  Luckily that is a side door into my parents bedroom. They haven't opened it in years. Once I know for sure I get my house, I got to get a patio built......

Captain, my little brother used up my charcoal all on his own, the stack had gotten low and he cleared it out......

You might want to buy a log or two?

That charcoal supply last you about a week or two.

Ed, I have been chopping up mini-splits the last couple of weekend. Got a 30 gallon trash can each of Apple-Apricot-Texas Post Oak-Peach and Pecan. Gonna grab some small bags of mesquite lump to help the Kingsford charcoal base to get going and I am ready........just need the pits now........

Wow!
I guess the pellet cookers weren't cutting it?

The pellet cookers were excellent.   But I went to pellet cookers for my family. At this stage of my life, it is now about me. I am cooking on what I want to and what fuel source I want to use. If the family don't like it, more leftovers for me during the week...... 8)

I really like the pellet smoker. For a real short cook of 1 1/2 hours for a Tri Tip or for a gigantic cook of 15 to 20 hours for a pork butt or brisket, the pellet smoker is great. It takes the fatigue out of the effort. For a cook from 5 hours to 8 hours, the wood smoker is just plain fun for me.

And, the quality of food is excellent.

I'm like that with my Komodo, it'll run 10-15 hours with little input.......what's the fun in that? But sometimes for fitting the time you need a " Set it & Forget it" smoker.
Most of the time I use my " add a chunk of wood every 45 min or beer whichever comes first" smoker ::)

That is what I missed the most LA. I would fire up the pooper and then have to do chores. If I had nothing to do it was boring. I got tired of hearing the fan constantly running. I want to build and control the fire again.......
