    When You're Smokin' What are You Drinkin' and Listening to?

    I hear you....I get 3 or 4 stories rolled into one. My other son (1.5 years) is an eating machine....anything BBQ he eats. If he gives us a problem with a regular dinner, I throw a little BBQ sauce on the food and it's gone!

    When You're Smokin' What are You Drinkin' and Listening to?
