Let me add this from a backyard jack...
I have been welcomed from the start even though my "favorite cooker" changes almost weekly and my cooking skills are still elementary. Ya'll have carried me from the beginning - all the while encouraging me and giving me help every time I ask. You don't care what I cook on this week - heck, you care if I don't cook, we're STILL friends.
B T W, just to keep up with this thread...I cooked beef ribs on the new old $10 Weber yesterday. Had the coals on each side with a water pan in the middle, under the ribs. I couldn't do a thing to keep the temps below 315. Howsomever, they cooked nicely over that indirect heat and turned out pretty darn good (what little bit of meat was on them bones).
What difference does it make which cooker i'm usin'? I just wanna be OUT there...in the backyard with fire and meat.
