Belt. I have never worn suspenders. Also, since jeans were mentioned in a couple of posts, I haven't worn jeans in years. I find cargo pants more comfortable and more practical.

Fantastic!* * By reading this post you agree that I am, indeed, the guy who sat behind you in Algebra II and am therefore entitled to attend the next one. My address is posted below, please send my invitation well in advance.

For a second there I thought that was the one I saw listed for $75 in Huntersville, NC. (No, I don't know if it is still available. )

He got a good mixture of genes, whatever the source. I think he's a right handsome fellow. He and his two brothers were all up for adoption at the same time, and my daughter got the pick of the litter, literally.

This is my granddog, Alfie, a shelter dog. My daughter adopted him, and her friend adopted Afie's brother, 6 years ago.

Thermopops for $21!

That's aubergine, for anything costing over $100. 😄

Congratulations!!

I cooked three times (different days) for 11 people this past week: one butt, 10 pounds of grilled chicken, and 10 t-bone steaks. So I will be eating leftovers on Labor Day, no cooking for me. My next cook will be ribs; my 7-year-old grandson said he wanted to try "ribs that are all hooked...

I stick to the basics: pepperoni, mushrooms, Italian sausage, green (or red or yellow) peppers, and onions, in various combinations. And mozzarella cheese.

Nearly all were medium-rare to medium, with a couple leaning toward medium-well. I didn't have time to cook to order. Everyone got their choice and I left it to the parents to choose the more cooked ones for the small children.

Tonight's menu for the family (children and grandchildren are visiting) was steak, baked potatoes, salad, and squash. I had never cooked 10 steaks at once, but it proved the fact that having two kettles can make a difficult task more manageable. Nobody had to wait for their steak while watching...

One other potential consideration: weight. During cooking most of the volume of the kettle is full of air. Will the legs, and more importantly (in my opinion, without doing any math) the leg sockets support a full load of ice and drinks?

One thing a Tar Heel and a State grad can agree on!

I didn't get a picture when I took it off the smoker because it was wrapped in foil. I rested it for about 90 minutes and people were making sandwiches as fast as I could pull it. It was very good, tender throughout, pulled easily. I mixed the drippings and some eastern NC style sauce in, and...

I cooked a butt, somewhere around 8 lbs, today at 275, wrapped it at 165 (the first time I've ever wrapped a butt), and took it off at 201 degrees. It took right at 9 hours. It's still resting so I can't say how easy it will pull or how good it will taste. But I definitely saved time over my...

My wife likes Neese's so that's what we get. I have a feeling that, left to my own devices, I would find something better. Ideally I would make my own, experimenting with the spice blend until I got it just right, but I don't really have the equipment or kitchen space to make that work.

I bought the second kettle so I could grill chicken wings fast enough to feed that horde of locusts my wife's family when they visited. I only wish wings were that cheap again.

A pork butt is cooking away on the WSM. The two kettles are standing by as Plan B, ready to grill chicken thighs if the butt isn't ready on time (in which case we'll have pulled pork tomorrow). Both my children and all 5 of my grandchildren are here for the first time since the covid mess began...
