I definitely need an umbrella for my deck in the backyard. It’s on my to do list, but not in the immediate future. I’m presently doing a carport (12W, 29L & 9H) and I ended up with one from Home Depot. Granted, I had to reject the first one (wrong size) but after this is done, Umbrella is next
I just happened upon this thread. I haven’t been able to go through it, but I’m looking forward to. These are vacations I’ll likely never take and I enjoy your vacation posts greatly. I’ll be back
Stepping back from "Cowboy / Western" and giving a drama movie consideration (Frontiersmen) The Last of the Mohicans was an awesome movie (imho)

So I picked up this lil Chuck thinking it would be 4 hours max. Well after 7 hours at 250, I covered it up and cranked the grill to > 300
I pulled it at 200 figuring it would be tender (no I didn’t probe, it was past 9 PM and I was over it. It tasted good but wouldn’t pass the bendy test...
