I've been getting the boned pork butts from costco, whoever cuts them is kinda rough, lol, I just finish cutting in half, steak out the large half and chunk the rest up for souvlaki....

You need a grinder, I started with a Kitchen Aid grinder and ground hundreds of pounds of pork butts with it, is it ideal?, nope, but it's cheap to start with , LEM makes good grinders, I got a #5 on sale and it's good enough and miles ahead of the Kitchen Aid.... You don't need a stuffer if you...

We used to have a tradition of grilling Italian sausage on new years day despite the weather. Now,,, NOPE, ain't gonna do it, lol that's why I have an oven in the house...:cool:

My wife bought me one 3 years ago, neat concept but I never used it. All the connectivity stuff is a PITA to me, I use my cheap DOT and check things once in awhile. I have it here somewhere if someone wants it.

You don't own a axe or a saw...and never expect to use one again...:confused: OK, then go to walmart, or whomever and buy a bag of chunks. Problem solved. Use the splits in the bottom of the kettle like a fire pit

It's on my older 22, never noticed it doing anything special, but I just leave it in place. I cook over some pavers over dirt so even if the cooker did get hot theres no issue.

I've used most of the methods for starting charcoal, and they all work most of the time. My go to was using the side burner on the grill, but that grill has given up the ghost. My wife loves to burn the yankee candle types in the glass jars, and there's always a half inch of wax left over and...

Any fat will make tallow, the internal fat, "leaf fat in hogs" may be a little better, but it's all good.

Maybe don't wait for 25 minutes...
