We have two weber kettle grills (one LARGE and one small/average), the SnS and the Weber Smokey Mountain 18" smoker. We use both natural lump charcoal and KNB for smoking and measure our temps with a Maverick 733, thermopen and MK4. Favorite beer depends on what is cooking (alt answer is yes).

He was a great man and a valued member to The Pit. Always in great spirits, full of wit and ALWAYS willing help. Steve was one of the guys that really helped me up my game, when I first joined The Pit.
In addition the BBQ, Steve was also a driving force for me to look into Cast iron cooking. My obsession with everything Cast Iron, is the result of his passion in the art. I really enjoyed our conversations about cast iron here .
He was also one of The Pit's first KBQ owners as well. You can look at his conversations with everyone at about page 5 of the KBQ Has Landed Thread. I frequently refer back to those posts for a laugh or just to reminisce.
Thanks for posting Rich! May Smarkley's memory live on in The Pit forever!
Thank you but I didn't do nothin Spin. Lots of memories in that whole deal. I'm going to fire up an oven that day as well. Looking forward to the toast. He was a good dude man. Just a goob dude.

My thoughts go out to Steve's family smarkley your in my thoughts. I just lost my mom on 5/9/17. So I know what you're going through. It's a sad time but embrace the good times. It will help you get through it all.
Tippin' my hat honorifically, wish I had gotten here sooner...
Will (do) have requisite Buffalo Trace standin' by, for this event!
Joinin' in with ya', richinlbrg !!!!
I, like Mr. Bones am relatively new here in the pit but I have seen smarkley in many older discussions and will remember him as a respectful and helpful pit brother. Thanks richinlbrg .

What a nice post richinlbrg! He turned me onto it as well. I just sipped the last of my BT the other day but I have some Eagle Rare which is essentially BT's 10yr offering. I hope this counts as the same in this context. I raise a shot at 9pm ET on 5/23 with you!

ER is easy to get in my neck of the woods. Buffalo Trace, VERY difficult. My liquor store only gets a few bottles in now and then, and they hide it under the cash register. You have to know to ask for it.
They told me it is rationed in these parts. GEESH
I'm happy to have such company on the 23rd! Hopefully, it'll bring a smile to his face!

ER comes in a clear straight shouldered wine bottle shaped bottle, with white script lettering. In my area it costs $4 more than BT ($31 compared to $27 for BT), which is still ridiculously cheap for such good bourbon IMO.
Hi, my name is Darrell. I'm an OTR truck driver for over 25 years. During my off time I love doing backyard cooks. I have a 48" Lang Deluxe smoker, Rec-Tec pellet smoker,1 Weber Genesis 330, 1 Weber Performer (blue), 2 Weber kettles (1 black and 1 Copper), 1 26" Weber kettle, a WSM, 8 Maverick Redi Chek thermometers, a PartyQ, 2 SnS, Grill Grates, Cast Iron grates, 1 ThermoPop (orange) and 2 ThermoPens (pink and orange) and planning on adding more cooking accessories. Now I have an Anova sous vide, the Dragon blower and 2 Chef alarms from Thermoworks.
I would love to join in the toast but I will be sitting behind a steering wheel of an eighteen wheeler. I will toot the air horn though and have a late toast when I get home.
