A double shot of MCS

July 13, 2019, 01:44 AM

I finally went and did it! I ordered a MasterBilt MPS340G gas smoker for myself. Arrives Monday morning. I also ordered and set up to be shipped, a copper Weber Performer 22" charcoal grill for my stepson in Sequim WA. We were visiting him after we did our 25th anniversary cruise to Alaska. (Which was wonderful!) I discovered he did not have any kind of a grill. That is NOT Allowed! So when I stopped in to my local Home Depot to order my smoker, I also arranged for him to receive the charcoal grill. So that is why I am calling this a double shot!

I don't think I could afford to come visit you! However, if you are willing to care for me in my dotage perhaps something could be arranged. LOL!
