Been an avid reader of this web site for sometime. Glad to be a member. I own a Kamado Big Joe and a Yoder YS 640 pellet grill. Love them both. I cook on both at the same time often. Looking forward to getting know everyone.
Cooker('s) -
At Home I use my Home Made Offset; (pictured) formally a water tank with a fabricated firebox made from rolled 1/4 in steel into a 22 x 18" cylinder, mounted on a 1926 Chevy axle and diamond plate deck. It leaks a bit till it warms up and regulating the temp was a challenge at times, but practice makes perfect ... a labor of love indeed!
At the Camper (seasonal);
Weber Kettle w/SnS
Weber Smoky Mountain w/Cajun Bandit Door
Accessories -
Maverick ET733 dual thermometer
Weber Rapid Fire charcoal starter
Horse Blanket to cover the offset when the temps drop. Fits like a glove!
Fuel -
Apple, Cherry, Oak or Hickory started by Kings-ford Briquettes

I know you part of Texas quite well. I was dating a lady in Ft. Worth and drove by Argyle all the time. Nice town. I image it has changed quite a bit with the expansion of the Perot airport out that way. Have a wonderful weekend!
