And onto the smoker.

Then I used the back rotis burner on the gasser for a quick sear. Had to remove the grates & deflectors (ended up making several different length SS rods as well) to get the height right. Repeated the carve-sear routine a few times and (finally!)

Tacos!

As with all prototypes, there were teething issues, but worth it. Now that I have the setup worked out, next time should go smoother.

I wish folks in my circle were as kind with their choice of terms for me!

With that hat I'm kinda surprised they don't call you the Court Jester of BBQ.
