I Return, With Head Hung Low

Where do I begin to tell the story? Of how, eight long years ago, a man cast aside his Weber Bullet and embraced a Big Green Egg.

Yet, try as he might, he could not love the Egg. For the Egg gave inconsistent overnight burns. It ran too hot too often! Until, in despair and then relief, he sold it on Craigslist and took the money and returned to his 18.5 inch Weber Smokey Mountain Smoker.

But after so many years, could the bond be re-established? Filled with anxiety and hope, he smoked four racks of baby back ribs and served them to his family. First, his daughter spoke up, "Oh my God! These are the best you ever made!" Her husband concurred. And then, his granddaughter bit into one and exclaimed, "SLAMMIN'!" And he knew, redemption had come...

Friends, I stand here a wiser, humbler man. And I sayeth unto you, cast aside all other smokers and know no other smoker but for the WSM. Long may you smoke!
 
Welcome back Wayne
You are forgiven
Now go out and cooks lots of food and take lots of pictures doing so
 
Always great to hear when the storied WSM takes down another Ugly Green.
Those things are just un-American !

Well, to be honest I never really left the Virtual Bullet Forum. I often accessed it for different recipes and ideas.

I'm in Rhode Island and I also own a BBQ Guru I also just ordered an Orion smoker to take with me on my camping trips.
