Same one I bought from Sam's. Great minds think alike.

I've had charcoal and gas smokers in the past that did not do it any better than this one. Much easier to work with as well. You won't get the bark that you get with charcoal, but the meat is more tender, which is a good trade off IMO.

You can always throw it on the grill to get that char if you want to. Have you (or Dust) had success using the temperature probe? Using it in conjunction with the remote makes it pretty darn easy.

Yes - that's what I've done before, typically add some marinade or sauce to help. Use the probe nearly every time. You're right, it's hard to mess it up. But have been smoking for so long I can pretty well tell when it is ready based on time, cooking temp, and look. When I do butts the wife likes it tender and juicy, so I enclose in alum foil after about 3 hours of smoking. When done I carve off a chunk for me to grill to get some bark.

Your wife may not like you sharing about how tender she likes her butts.

I've got a buddy who cooks on Myron Mixon's team. I love it when he practices smoking ribs.

That guy is barbecue royalty. Your buddy would have to be excellent to be on that team. I bet you encourage him to practice a lot! :)

Short story since you mentioned Myron and he's won it several times. I worked for an electric utility company in the Arkansas delta at one time back in the early 80s. Every Friday afternoon the line crews would come in from their assignments and the barbecue and beer would be the order of the rest of the day and evening. Memphis in May had started in the late 70s. So a group of guys from the line crews formed a team and competed. They won one segment of it and finished third overall. I still do not believe I have ever eaten better chicken quarters or pulled pork in my life than what those guys did.

Lady Vols with another impressive win today. Izzie Harrison hurt her leg and I guess from reports it looked pretty bad. Prayers to her that she has a speedy recovery.

Absolutely - prayers need for her.

They took control nicely in the second half and Massengale look better than she has all season IMO. They need Harrison for a good tourney run since they have nobody that can actually play C on the roster left. However, they actually play better on offense in many games without her. Holly wants to run too much of the offense through her and they get to where they stand around and watch too much. Don't know what will happen now on D - run a lot of zone I guess.

Yeah, I was watching when it happened. Pretty ugly. I would guess torn MCL at minimum.

I saved a 4 year old from falling 40 feet. The child locked themselves in a room and didn't know how to get out. She was dangling from the edge of the window outside, and I had to pick the lock with a credit card. I saw the child dangling from the edge, and after I picked the lock I immediately grabbed her by the wrists and pulled her in the window. I had to hold a grief counseling ordeal afterwards. All I gotta say now is I am lucky as ****.
