Adam the good news is you're in the running for the GMG now, every month, with no effort on your part needed. The bad news is there is no figgering you can do to improve your odds
You definitely want to move up to a higher grill count when you expand your deck. It opens up all kinds of possibilities. Perhaps THIS is where you should apply your figgering capabilities.=)
That, sir, is inspirational! I absolutely plan to keep my kettle around. I'm actually beginning a deck expansion this weekend to accommodate all of these things. Perhaps I will end up with enough space to convince the wife that 'we' need a dedicated smoker....I'm thinking a small Backwoods smoker might be nice... If only I can figure out how to also win one of those Gold Medal Giveaways....
Welcome to The Pit Adam! I too love having a glass in hand when I light the fire, which should happen in about 3 hours now=)
Anyway, wanted to say welcome. A BGE is a very good compliment to a kettle, but don't plan on that being your primary grill. You'll want to keep the kettle for searing. BGE's aren't great for two zone.
Welcome Adam, this is a great site with a great bunch of folks all willing to help. Congratulations on the win. My turkey looked pretty good until I butchered it. I was going to try to present it cut up. My surgical skills are lacking.
I got home last night to find a package from Thermoworks waiting for me. The Thermoworks DOT I won from the turkey contest arrived! Thanks Meathead and AmazingRibs!
That along with the Thermopop and extra probe I ordered should make for a potent set of thermometers. Planning to fire up the Webber for some salmon tonight and give them a run.

Thanks, Huskee. Yeah, I was pretty excited about Meathead using my picture over there, and that clued me in a little. I can't wait to get that thermometer in and put it to work.
And yes. I found the homework assignment. I poked around a little before I started posting. Great forum, from what I've found so far.
There is so much good BBQ in America. But which places are the best? Here's a state by state guide to some of our favorite barbecue joints around the country, plus some of our favorite guidebooks on regional barbecue.
Here is another one on a new place called Swig and Swine:
Was in Charleston this past weekend and my great friend (and chef of a great restaurant called S.N.O.B.) took me to a fantastic BBQ place in West Ashley. If in
To be honest since perfecting my pork butts and getting much better on ribs, I find what I cook is better than most places serve.
Also, if you like mustard BBQ sauce definitely try MH's recipe - I was skeptical, but after making it and letting it sit in the fridge for a few days, I am now a believer:
In Mid-South Carolina, from Columbia to Charleston on the coast, BBQ sauce is yellow. HereÍs a quick and easy recipe for classic South Carolina mustard sauce. For those who are only familiar with traditional red BBQ sauces, yellow mustard sauce can be jarring at first -- at least until that first flavorful bite.
Hog Heaven is worth a stop. I wouldn't say its the best I've ever had, but order their BBQ...don't get sucked into the buffet. Its not all that great. They have killer fried chicken, though.
Sam's Corner is a staple! I'm friends with the daughter of the owner, and they are an awesome family.
Never had Radd Dews. I don't get up to Conway too often, though my wife works at CCU up there. Maybe I'll go visit her for lunch sometime and give that place a shot.
Any good BBQ joints down your way? I'm a fan of the BBQ nachos at a joint on King St. in Charleston, but that's really all the BBQ exploration I've done anywhere near Goose Creek.
Cool to connect with you, man, and thanks for the welcome!
Hi Adam, welcome to the Pit! Great to hear your story, I'm sure you'll be happy with the BGE. I am using one, I've had it for a little more than two years. For my cold climate (Sweden) it is superb. Looking forward to pics of your outdoor kitchen!
