As one of my favorite military heros said a few times, I won the mid August Sweepstakes (the voting was definitely rigged). Showed up at my door from a hulk type FedEx guy. He said "I wanted to be sure you were home". I was. Here is the story. It might be a little discombobulated, but who gives a rip! Got my tools out then took a peak at the destructions & found I needed differnt equipment. Here are the pieces & parts & bein mechanically disinclined it only took me 3 1/2 hrs to assemble. I had a few distractions starting with my mind & endin ther also. Every mochine is about the wheels. Mighty fine wheels, with cool hubcaps. The tread on these suckers will fit right in with muddin & Wisconsin snow. Kook at that tread. I

I think there was a conspiracy alright. I'm just not sure what side of it I ended up on.

Yeah, I missed the kettle way to much. Plus, this is not as big. Only one side table & its collapsible.

I cook on a 15-year-old Kamado #9, a huge beast nearly 6 feet tall and with black ceramic tile on the outside.

I of course love smoked meats of all kinds, but also like quick cooks like chicken portions, pork tenderloins and fish. Really into cooking of all kinds. There is an outdoor fire pit that has grilling capability and limited Santa Maria-style grill raising and lowering.

Update: my Kamado has been rehomed. A new outdoor kitchen is being built. Main cooker is a Lone Star Grillz Adjustable and it is wonderful. There also is a Pit Boss 5 Burner Ultimate Griddle. Both currently live in my garage and get rolled outdoors to use.
