    I blame all of you for this....

    For the money I am about to spend. MyFellowMerkins from Central NC. Got a Brinkmann Gourmet charcoal smoker on a whim last Halloween (because I didn't know how to buy a smoker) , made terrible ribs twice, said forget that noise, someone mentioned I check out this website before I give up. Now I'm a member, modding my smoker, making delicious ribs and sauces and realizing I've been grilling steaks all wrong my entire life.

    All your fault, and thanks!

      HA HA! Yes this place is full of enablers.

      I've already bought two cookers this summer and have my eyes on others.

      Now I've discovered that I can get into Restaurant Depot with my KCBS membership. So of course now I have $160 worth of pork and beef to cook.

      I getting fat to boot.

      Look out it's a slippery slope.

        You Sir have full blown MCS... And there's no cure! Start adding patio or deck space now.

      The Path .... winding and interesting for sure. I am about to add top and bottom vents to my smoker, a better thermometer, a bottom rack for charcoal to elevate it, a seal around the lid to stop leakage, and maybe one day in the future a port for a remote meat thermometer, but I'm not going crazy yet with that one extra hole.

      I've now got my own sauce recipe that I made by playing around with a few I found here and modifying to my taste, I now have a strong opinion on wood vs. charcoal vs. gas and smoking salmon is my next step.

        There is a processor/butcher 20 minutes from me that only serves local farms. They also have a storefront, I can get a full rack of spare ribs for $10, baby back for $12, a tri-tip or brisket for half what the grocery stores charge. Limited hours, but you do what you can!

        If I keep this up, my answer when asked why I stopped smoking meats will be "I got tired of building things."

          Welcome to the Pit from Baltimore! There's a reason we call it The "PIT". It's got really steep, slippery sides, and once you're in, you can't get out! We have a lot of fun here, though!

            We have no defense...

            ...and no apologies.

                            Thanks Mosca, a lot of time and effort went into picking out that name

                            Email is valid!

                            I'm looking forward to this. I am modding my Brinkmann over the next few weeks, basically turning it into a better version of the WSM, I'll post some pics when I am done.

                            Thanks everyone!
