    Hello from Southeast Pennsylvania

    I live in the suburbs just north of Philadelphia. I've been cooking meat on the grill for many years, everything from portable propane grills to sticks over a camp fire to big propane grills. I gave up the propane after the last grill's innards disintegrated. I switched to charcoal on a second-hand Weber kettle.

    I read Lolis Elie's Smokestack Lightning just after helping a friend make ribs from live pig to plate, and it came together for me. I started slow-cooking on my kettle. Roast chickens, big bone-in chops, some peppers. Magic stuff.

    I got a bonus at Christmas, and instead of a new fly rod that will spend most of the year in a rack, a rifle that never sees the deer stand or a radio that rarely warms the antenna, I decided to get a big grill. I wanted a kamado, and it was a tossup between the Egg and the Primo. The Egg has more support and a bigger community, but the Primo had a much better way to cook indirectly. Now I have a giant Primo Oval on the back patio and I'm learning. This slow and low stuff is tasty and it isn't as hard as it looks. I don't buy the kids popsicles any more because I need space in the freezer for roasters, ribs and shoulders when they go on sale.

      Thanks!
      Right now, overcast and about 18. It will warm up today to 39 or so and melt the snow.

          When the boy-child was smaller, we had an upright freezer in the basement. He would take out the ice pops but he wouldn't close the door. The freezer would defrost, soak the floor and everything on the door would melt. He can buy his own popsicles.
