    MCS Beaten Back (for now!)

    Last week I was in Lowe's and they had the "display unit" of the Chargriller 980 gravity smoker marked down to $499. I really wanted to bite on it, but just couldn't justify it under my current circumstances (still not working and about to undergo a second heart surgery.) But I was sorely tempted.

    The funny thing is I had NEVER seen a 980 "on display" at this Lowe's before this, and it wasn't for want of looking.

    I'm potentially in the stint screening group myself. Hope things work out for your heart surgery brother Dewesq55.

    The cooker can wait.

      Best wishes to you Dewesq55, I had bypass surgery in 2007. I hope the less invasive option is available for you.

      I was involved in some of those first TAVR procedures done in the US, that is awesome stuff. Helluva lot better than getting your chest cracked, that's for sure!

      DogFaced PonySoldier - Yes indeed. I'm really keeping my fingers crossed tightly that I qualify for TAVR. My regular cardiologist says there should be nothing to worry about, but he's not involved in making the decision, so . . .🤷‍♀️🤞😕

    Resistance is futile....
    But I agree with Troutman, there’ll be other cookers for sale.
    Get yourself healthy first.
