    Merry Christmas to Me!

    One of the items on my list to Santa this year was a Slow 'N Sear to compliment my 26" Weber. Since my wife didn't want to mess with the internet she put me in charge of ordering a number of items on Amazon including the SnS I had requested. I placed the order on Friday, December 11 over my lunch break. I received the usual order confirmation along with a message saying the SnS would be delivered between December 17 & 21. No big deal as it would be here in plenty of time for Christmas. Imagine my surprise when I get home from work on Monday, December 14 and there is a rectangular box with a smoking grill sitting on the front porch. I thought I was dreaming so I pinched myself as I walked up to the front door to snag the box and sure enough...the SnS had arrived about a week early!!! Unfortunately I am not allowed to open my present early even though I know what is in the box. Mrs. Craigar Claus is kind of strict when it comes to Christmas presents so, I am hoping she will relent and let me open for Christmas Eve as I would like to use it to smoke the ham for that night. If not, I know which present I will be running downstairs to open the next morning! Thank you to the team at Adrenaline Barbecue for making this kid's wish come true!

    ps - I am hoping to post first cook results next weekend.

          It is pure torture and she is reveling it. Don't worry, I will get even.

                You will love the SnS. Congrats! You need to buy up some meat so you can do a marathon cook after Christmas.

                  fuzzydaddy I am going to take inventory of the freezer tonight since I have absolutely no idea what my wife has been buying the past couple of months. I can tell you this, ribs, butts and chuckies are in my immediate future! Since I HAVE to go to the butcher shop for fillets (10 oz. for $6.19) and I am going to inquire about some short ribs. The last time I had a short rib was probably back in the mid-to-late '70's at granny's house and she fried them on the stove in bacon grease. I still can't figure out how her and grandpa ate those tough things without pulling their false teeth out. But I digress...I am pretty sure I can whip some up with the help of the SnS and hopefully I can erase those rubbery things from my memory.

                  Craigar, so far I have cooked only chicken, ribs and butts on my kettles with the SnS and they were out-of-this-world delicious. Now, I'm new to Q - just started in the last year and have cooked 32 butts total (always 2 at a time to give some away and freeze the extra) and probably 12 or 14 racks of ribs (baby back, St. Louis cut and spare). I hope to cook a lot more in 2016 than in 2015. I'm still fully capable of messing up a cook, but a loooong way from where I was 12 or 13 months ago.

                  fuzzydaddy that's awesome! You have got a lot experience under your belt in just the last year. I know I will be cooking more this year since I have talked my wife into the idea that we can make burritos, chili, etc. from the pulled pork & beef. I may have created a monster, but I love cooking and we both love eating...win, win in my book.
