That's how I figured it and was thinking the Food Lion deal was better for a need now type situation. Didn't I read where someone says that Lowe's normally has it on sale for a really good deal around Memorial Day?

 

Lowe's and home Depot do sales for every major cookout holiday. 2*18.6lb bags for 9.88.

if you had a covered patio or something it would be really good...I'd be a little worried about birds if I didnt have a covered patio

 

During the move I've misplaced my thermometer, it was off by 10 degrees anyways so figured an upgrade was in order

And saw this in a cool little kitchen store in Aiken, SC. Figured what the hell, try cold smoking some cheeses and stuff

 

I have a thermpro as well. Works well for me.

 

I have the amaze-n smoker. Use it in the pellet pooper for extra flavor. Haven't tried cold smoking....sure as hell don't live in an area that gets cold enough now!


I just fire her up with a small torch, let her burn for a few minutes then blow out the flame. Make sure there's a nice amount of coals if ya will. It'll run better.

 

Got an itch for a weber kettle. I have a pellet pooper, and of course my po'man. But for some things, I just want a good ole charcoal grill. Like a nice seared steak, tasty carne asada, and to try that damn snake method. What say y'all?? I'm sure my wife will be wondering why I need yet another grill/smoker/cooker.

 

Ye old standby, there's a reason they've been around virtually unchanged for 60 years...

Yea I just started googling and I'm going to have to wait more than likely, already in the mid 80s here lol. Thanks for the tips

 

I love mine, hardly use the gasser anymore, and it fulfills all my smoking needs

 

Oh and with all the craziness that happens in a move, my grills are packed in the trailer along with tools, workbench, etc etc.

Well I think I must have succeeded as a man and husband since yesterday my wife said she didn't care what we had to do but I needed to get the grills at the new house asap. Guess she misses my grilled food lol

 

I've always had one, no matter what other toys I pick up. Smoker is great and the gas grill is nice when you need something fast or need to feed a crowd. We have a pool so we end up with a lot of neighbors hanging around and the gas comes in handy for grilling whatever they show up with. If it's just us and I have an extra 30 minutes to get the coals ready I use the kettle.

My dad explained to me when I was young, if you have a charcoal grill you get to drink a beer while the coals are getting ready and another one while the food is cooking. He guessed you can drink a beer while you press the ignition button on the gas grill but he's never owned one.

 

Yes you need a Weber Kettle, this is why if she asks





And don't forget the rotisserie



Smoked on it for years but your limited on space as far as how much meat. So a smoker is still a must have. And as mentioned there are times the gas grill comes in handy. My grills and smoker don't stay buried in snow for long. I do need a bigger deck though as I still need a dedicated smoker for fish.



DO IT!!!
