New Cooker Day!

[Hulagn1971]

Hot damn that's nice!

[Spinaker]

So are you gonna cook on this beast errrrrrrrr what?

[Panhead John]

Aww man, the pressure is getting to me! 😢

[Draznnl]

If he cooks on it, the poor cooker will get dirty. Then it won’t drive the visiting women wild.

[Panhead John]

Draznnl That’s when I’ll rely on the garage floor to take over….🥸

John, I don't know if your HEB is running the same sale (ends tomorrow at closing), but mine has Prime NY Strips for $9.99/lb. Just picked these up. While I said fajitas earlier, doing a thicker steak would let you spin that EZ-Spin Grate.

[Panhead John]

Wow! That ain’t bad, thanks Michael. However I went to HEB already today and bought something for the first cook. It’s Top Secret though. I can’t reveal what it is until the cook…Don’t wanna piss off the IDF. 🥸 I just now got a chance to do my burn in because of the rain. I’m hoping to finish early enough for a cook tonight.

Woo hoo! First cook on the new kettle.

For my first cook I didn’t want to do a quick cook, like a steak or chops, but I also didn’t feel like a long cook like a pork butt or ribs. So I decided on something in between, a pork loin. It’s been a few years since I did this particular cook, but it’s a bacon wrapped pork loin stuffed with jalapeños and cream cheese. I dusted it inside and out with Harley’s Texas Style BBQ All Purpose Seasoning. I like this stuff a lot. Seek it out, you’ll thank me later.






The Master Kettle held solid temps for the full 2 hours, hardly any fluctuations…




Served with green beans and potato salad


I think a lot of people will agree, but if you have any brand of kettle, the SnS charcoal insert along with B & B Briquettes just can’t be beat!

P.S. I really like this new SNS Master Kettle!

Pro Tip: If you use toothpicks to hold the bacon in place, be sure to remove them before eating. Don’t ask me how I know…🙄

[PGH_RAM]

Looks fantastic! Way to break in the new rig!

Some good looking pics

[dpearce]

Ah one of my holy grail purchases! If I hadn't been able to find a gently used Weber for a reasonable price, I would've been saving up for the SNS for sure!

Congrats on that cooker! You chose wisely--evidenced by the results of your first cook, plus you chose to work with the best BBQ vendor on the planet. Enjoy each and every cook. You deserve it, big guy.
