Alaskan intro..

[Raven1207]

I have used this site to get started in BBQ and it's just a great source of info and experience! Started a pork butt early this am (-2F) for my daughters birthday dinner. I own a COS, it's whats available up here until I make my own. Having fun in the land of the midnight sun!

[Spinaker]

Welcome to the Pit!! We are glad your here. I am heading your way in July for some Kings and Silvers. Stay warm up there. Raven1207

[Raven1207]

Thanks and good luck on your fishing trip!

[MBMorgan]

Welcome aboard! I have to admit that, in spite of living in Anchorage for a decade or so back in the 80's and 90's, I still had to fire up Google maps to locate Salcha. Gotta say that what I saw makes me pretty homesick...

[Raven1207]

Thanks, we've been here almost 40 years now. It's been a great place to raise our family.

[Jerod Broussard]

Welcome man!!

You got anything to insulate that COS??

[Raven1207]

No, I don't insulate. If it's not breezy I can maintain a temp pretty good. My cut-off temp for BBQ is about -10F.

[LA Pork Butt]

Welcome o he Pit! I don't guess you ever really cook in it heat.

[Raven1207]

Thanks, summer time in the interior of Alaska is usually pretty warm, 24 hours of daylight and mosquito's.

[MoodyQs]

I lived in Fairbanks for three years, and while I miss Alaska, I certainly don't miss the mosquitoes!

Raven1207 - welcome to The Pit and welcome to The Addiction!

[Raven1207]

Thanks!

[David Parrish]

Welcome @Raven1027 - We're glad you're here! You should consider a Weber kettle, Weber Smokey Mountain, or Pit Barrel Cooker. These are similarly priced, or at least entry level, and would work much better at smoking than that COS... *shudder*

[Raven1207]

Thanks, I'm looking forward to making one.
