Spring is on th Horizon!

[Mr. Bones]

Last Sunday was a nice day, so I was able to actually enjoy (vs. endure) a nice, long, slow cook on my Horizon 20 Classic.

Pics will be added as I sneakermail them from my work-issue iPud to my Win10 PC...

I jus did a rack o' spares, an a large chuckie, to tide me over fer a few days....
Had a great day, I must tell ya!

[ribeyeguy]

Glad you enjoyed it! Spring is still a ways off here in Wisconsin. Mother Nature has thrown a few "teaser" days at us lately with 50 degree temps but it's not gonna last. We've still got a good month/month and a half of potential deep freeze ahead of us. I'll breathe a sigh of relief come May.

[Mr. Bones]

Thanks brother! Hang in there, we ain't outta th woods jus yet, but we'uns is gettin closer!

[Jerod Broussard]

I remember firing up my COS as things warmed up 6 years ago, sun shining, birds chirping. Now I'm gonna fire up another cooker this spring that requires much less attention. And I could care less about the sun or the birds.

[Mr. Bones]

Hope ya have a sweet cook, brother!

[Steve B]

Jerod what cooker are you talking about? Inquiring minds want to know.

[FireMan]

You were sure throwin around a lot of smoke ther bonesy. Nothin like smoke!

[Mr. Bones]

Jus KBB warmin up, so far, amigo!
Yup, my chimley belched lotsa smoke, had most of th neighbours out maraudin, willin to go fetch dinner plates, etc.

[lonnie mac]

WooHoo Mr. Bones! That looks like fun. Dang need to do that myself. How ya liking that Horizon? Looks like she's a good cooker!

[Mr. Bones]

It was BIG FUN, Brotha, to be able to cook minus union suit n Carhartts, etc.!
My Horizon is rock-steady; I used no clock, thermo, etc... jus cooked BBQ...

[lonnie mac]

Fantastic brotha!! That's how I love to cook on the ole Texas Original. Dang near the exact same pit. Sometimes ya just gotta slow down and enjoy it.

[Mr. Bones]

Sometimes ya just gotta slow down and enjoy it.

Ya have th Right of It, indeed, Brotha!

[Mudkat]

Amen brother. Spring is in the air and it's laced with smoke! Love that cooker. I'm thinkin' I wanna set of those wheels on my drum. I'll be wheeling it around this summer I'm sure.

[Mr. Bones]

Thanks, brother! Doin my best to help 'Lace th Air'!
Very intriguin idea, yer wheels on a UDS...
I'd use summat less than steel wagon wheels, due to UDS light weight, but idea easily beats lift that barge...

[Mudkat]

Steel wheels keep on turning, steel drums keep on burning. Rollin... rollin... Rollin... rollin... Rollin to the river... Baap baap baap baap baap baap baa!

Oh gotta go. Gotta go listen to some CCR.

[Frozen Smoke]

Nice job Mr. Bones that looks likes a sweet rig ya got there. Always nice to get the smoke rollin'! Supposed to hit 40 degrees here on Saturday so I pulled 2 racks of spares from the freezer today. Going to drag the rig out of the garage and smoke up some spares. Took another pound of that wagyu burger out of the freezer too for griddle burgers on Sunday.

[Mr. Bones]

A Sweet Rig, indeed She is!
Dang near makes me pass fer a cook, on good days!

[DWCowles]

I’m glad you got to enjoy the day with your smoker Mr. Bones it won’t be long now that you will have plenty of nice days to fire your cookers up.

[Mr. Bones]

Thanks, DW!
I been firin them up, jus some pretty inclement wx to do so; made takin pics pretty unneccessary
Knocked off 3-4" of frozen sleet/rain/ice off Sat, to cook Sunday...
Think that's what made me holler "ENUFF, ALREADY!"

[6th Borough BBQ]

Very nice! I cannot wait until I get into spring weather!

[Mr. Bones]

Soon, very soon, amigo!

[ComfortablyNumb]

Spring? We had six inches of snow last night......

[Mr. Bones]

Oh, it ain't Spring, jus yet, my friend!
Was jus takin advantage of a nice-(ish) day!!!

[Steve B]

Ain’t it a beautiful thing when you can just sit back and enjoy the day while doing your favorite thing.
Haaaa I feel at peace just thinkin about it.

[Mr. Bones]

Yessir, it's my "Happy Place"!

[RonB]

Lookin' good.

[Spinaker]

I hear you Bones! We had some solid snow melt, all week. We even have some grassy areas! This has been a great Minnesota winter: Cold and Snowy. Just the way I like it. We might hit 40 this weekend!

[HawkerXP]

Great to hear your voice Bonesie!
My backyard has way to many shingle tabs to my liking. 50 to 70 mph gusts last night and today. "In like a lion"

[lonnie mac]

Oooohhh shingle tabs. How do I count the ways! Nothing worse brother.
