    Well my son has gone all in...

    I bought my son a PBC when he started a real job so he could smoke the occasional family meal... he got pretty good at it but today he tells me that he found a not heavily used Pitts and Spitts 24x36" stick burner with several addons for sale for a great price and would up getting it for 1000$. He has to sell some of his knife collection and (can you believe this ---shoes--- he buys and sells expensive sneakers as a hobby) to afford it but now he is all in.

    I hope he doesn't quit his job and start a restaurant.

    Nice to see the knowledge passed down. Better to have more cooker syndrome than more sneaker syndrome.

        If you gift him a membership, and he never posts, maybe he can give you the prize when he wins... ;-)

              Every parent’s worry is the decisions our kids make. Kids, what are you going to do with them. And when we get really old our kids say, parents what are you going to do with them.

                Is he local and did he find that pit on Craigslist? I’m in Kingwood and saw a recent post for a Pitts and Spits cooker that had me drooling! I’m assuming it’s the same Pit I saw...... I’m jealous either way! Nothing but the best to you and your son! If he DOES open a restaurant, I will be there day one!

                    That apple didn't fall too far from the tree.

                      In that case, slice the apples, smoke roast them and top with ice cream.
