Holy Smokes or Trial By Fire, if you prefer.

Man, learning from your mistakes is rough business:

1) Check the weather before you pull your steel smoker out to burn it off at lunch. Stewpit rain.

2) Charcoal that is 3 years old is really, really hard to light.

3) An acetylene torch will light 3 year old charcoal if you stay at it long enough.

4) Ever want to fill your PM box? Just mention on C.C you need recipes for smoking meat. Had no idea I was so popular nor that you gewbers take your meat so serious. :)

5) An 18" firebox and a 16" cooking chamber needs a honkin' bunch of coals to reach 250 degrees.

Weird, I thought I had arrived when I bought this cooker, but now I realize the journey has just begun. Planning to sacrifice some ribs this week after work if I can get a good forecast.

Should of bought a GREEN EGG !!!!:D:D:D

And deprive you of the perfect Christmas gift for me this year?

Wannabe...

XL please.

First of all. Anyone with 3 year old charcoal has been eatin out too much and probably don't deserve a nice rig like you just bought.

2nd if a man doesn't take pride in his meat, who will? My meat gets special treatment.

not in a good way. Promise ya. Try you some spare ribs sometime and TRY and cook them like you do baby backs. Talk about shoe leather. LOL Spares are better tasting that baby backs and when you learn to trim Spares into Kansas City cuts, you'll have you some fine ribs CHEAP. Ya even have some meat left over to make some good pork stew

I'm getting you the same thing this year that I got you for last years Christmas !!:D

Be creative Slab, I still haven't found a good place on the mantle for that blank and indignant stare you gave me last year. I will say, it was was priceless though.

Wannabe...

Slab, would that be the same thing all of us gave WB last year? A big helpin of GREEF followed by a dose of EXLAX!

Satdoc I belive that Exlax is a staple on Wannabe's diet and it may be the cause of all the POO slinging.:eek:

Wannabe as far as that blank stare I was thinking who is this backwoods gewber of a so called banker that can't read his own writing !!!! :D:D

Really...A Dr. he is not.

I pity you Sat. Imagine if I actually placed higher than you this year. It would be one L-O-N-G 18 months of being reminded of it 17 times a day.

Wannabe...

The chances of that happenin are slim to none and thats givin a little.

NOw stop tryin to hijack the cooker thread!

WB using 3 yr. old charcoal you need some 3 cyr. old red oak and that will make the difference. No problem getting up to temp.

WB I got your gift all picked out....I got you an invite over to torch's house so you can be introduced to his lady friends that DD showed us the pics of
