Happy with it?  I’m glad I went electric with my first one for temp control

I think I will be happy once I get the hang of it.  It is relatively easy to assemble and light. The second batch of ribs were great.  My inexperience honked up the first batch.  It was cold and I don't think I put enough charcoal in, as after I put the ribs on the temp dropped and stayed about 170  and I didn't put more charcoal in soon enough to raise it.  As a result, I left the ribs on a little too long.  One rack of ribs was also smaller, and that one overcooked and was tough.  I also think I put in too many chunks of hickory.  Between the overcook and the hickory the ribs were too smoky by the time we ate them.

  absolutely this

curious how one can keep a good, constant temp with charcoal and/or just wood.  especially on really cold days with the wind bearing down.  i just set the temp for about 5 degrees warmer to make up for the lost heat from the outside elements, set up my wireless thermometer and put on the games

Made some home made bacon recently. Kept it brined a bit too long. A wee bit too salty

After reading the NM thread, I’m thinking I can salvage this batch by making it into candied bacon.  Salty  and sweet....and pork fat (channeling my inner Emeril).

I’ve got a nice applewood rub. Gonna add some brown sugar too.

Who’ s got a candied bacon recipe to share?

Candied bacon as a stir stick in A Bloody Mary at a packers game is the bomb. Just sayin’.

Oh, and ND sucks

Scotch eggs on the smoker Friday.

Taking a crack at smoked meatloaf Saturday. Have gf (grain free for Never) recipe. Uses zucchini spirals instead of breadcrumbs.

Speaking of scotch eggs, haven’t had one in years. Looking forward to giving this a whirl. Thinking about paring it with stone ground mustard.  Thoughts?

I’d normally consider seasoned warm manatee blubber on the side, but with supply chain issues, harder to find lately.

Btw, know someone who doesn’t like eggs.  Period.  What’s this world coming to?😱😱😱

Preparing Hawaiian style Nene eggs this AM with some smoked Spam, Lanai pineapple, chopped Anahu Bush tomatoes and some diced sweet Maui onions. This will be paired with a candied Kailua pork bacon.

As to who doesn't like eggs, I hear famous Nashvillian Miley Cyrus among others doesn't like eggs.
