    Point of the bottom charcoal ash pan?

    heat shield so you don't set the shanty on fire. I tweaked the tabs on the legs to hold mine in place when I dump the ashes.

    Why I'm Done With Reverse Searing

    When did it cease to be news?

    Who, what, when, where, why - and how. Spare me how you feel about it. Like Sergeant Friday sez, "Just the facts, Ma'am." (he never actually said that)

    Not bait but I’ve dusted with plain old 20 mule team Borax. Works for roaches too. But when they got out of hand I called a local pest company.

    Have you started your garden?

    It does in the Arctic. I have three varieties of tomatoes and three of peppers 🌶 in a grow tent. They are doing great. It’s the only way short of a greenhouse I can get a decent yield on the warm weather crops. When I get rich I’ll put in a heated 12x20 in the front yard

    What do you guys (and gals) use for charcoal storage?

    In the bag, in the shed. The brand du jour for a cook is metered out in a metal pail as needed. I only keep a couple hundred pounds around at any given time. Lump and briquette.

    What's the craziest weather you're ever grilled in?

    Over 40 years ago when we arrived in Alaska I swore I'd never grill in the snow or during a snow storm. Well, that promise didn't last long. I will say the Genesis Silver B made winter cooks less painful.

    New to me WSM 18.5

    Some like the notch because it’s quick. I would be more inclined to retrofit a now standard side grommet. But that’s just me.

    New to me WSM 18.5

    Thermometer and side handles are mods. Has a notch or side grommets been added for probe cables?

    Bacon wrapped pork loin - how would you cook it?

    I like to wrap pork tenderloin in bacon then grill with indirect heat. A pork loin is a different matter, I would look at unwrapping it then do a wet brine or injection of some sort and loosely drape the bacon over it. Then indirect heat until center is desired temp. It's easy to end up with a...
