Pics too small to see?

Smallest pix ever. I can't see anything.

Well, the newest member of #theRibList Family has arrived! Ya'll Welcome Tex

Here's the nice fella' I bought Tex from.

We've God the State of Texas cutouts on the Tuning Plates and on the stack cover - very fun!

Well, I'm not sure what happened, but I cannot make these pictures bigger?? Maybe they will look differently when I post this?

In any event, on the road back we stopped at the newly opened Buccee's in Baytown TX. Huge store, the size of an old Wal-Mart, and 96 gas pumps. It's super fun, and they sell a pile of pits and smokers out front.


And, of course, we put some fire on it every night since she's been home, practicing the fire thing on the past-its-prime wood I already had at the house.



Fun!!

We're in the same general area looking at Craigslist for good deals on smokers in the Houston area...lol. I saw a Tejas smoker once for $700 and almost pulled the trigger, but hesitated because their vertical firebox model is made with thinner steel...my hesitation cost me b/c I think someone else picked it up. Happy pit hunting!

[Beefchop]

I asked this of the Meadow Creek people as well (looking at their pig roaster series) and they said "yes" but qualified it with a comment that a wood fire is going to burn hotter than charcoal, so heat regulation may be as if not more challenging than you'd find on a traditional offset. Good to know that The Good One is log capable!

[Dewesq55]

True dat, Barry. But since I discovered that the rig I'm pining for (The Good One Open Range) can burn logs, that shoe is starting to pinch my toes ;-)

[Marauderer]

Hey DEW, if the shoe fits wear it.

I also noticed the utensil bar on the front. In my case it would double as a paper towel holder, maybe even a foil roll holder.... I like it.

[David Parrish]

Perfect! If the deal is super awesome maybe a gift membership is in order! lol (j/k)

I'll introduce him to thePit was I'm pulling away with my new stick-burner on the trailer.

[PaulstheRibList]

I noticed the lift hooks on the back of this one. #Useful

If the Witicha weighs 500 pounds, and is 1/4" steel, and this one is 3/8" and 1/2"...

[PaulstheRibList]

Well, I'll offer him some delicious BBQ whenever he passes by Lake Charles on I-10, that should do it, right?

[Huskee]

It's a good thing the seller can't read this, eh?

...or CAN he??.... [price goes up to $1100]

I should fashion a Michigan-shaped cutout on mine. Who doesn't like a mitten?..

Yeah, mine is "balanced" to lift it up from the handle, it's pulling it that is the workout, especially on grass. Very helpful to have a second person. I really really like the flip top lid on the fireboxes of these, makes loading wood & playing in the fire so easy, plus allows for grilling/searing directly over the coals too (if you have a firebox cooking grate). This one here has a rather large flat top hot plate on top, mine is much smaller.
