I'm ready!

Thanks, Chris!

I wanted to cook a butt, or ribs, but we've been so busy getting ready to move my mom (age 94) into assisted living that all I could manage were wings on the kettle. I'll toss a hickory chunk on the fire so, technically, there will be smoke. 😁

I tried it again today, cooking drumsticks with the Vortex. It's worse than I remember. What I have left will be used for hot dogs and burgers, and I won't buy any more. Tomorrow I'm heading to Academy Sports to stock up on B&B lump. Life is too short to cook on bad charcoal.

1951 calendar. I wonder how much they were charging for a gallon of heating oil back then.
