First Pellet Cooker arrived today.

[Mr. Bones]

Start Here, Please...

Yeah.

Yall heard me right.

Please note:
I've never rallyed again em, publicly, or privately...
I jus never really saw any practical use fer em, in my operations, or life, really. Really.

Then, in a flash of inspiration, or possibly inebriation, (I plead ~80/20) ,
I thought of a purpose, mebbe two, which could cause "Th Way of th Pellet" to merge with My Path, an Goals...

Now, I have a few cookers handy, an are happy with em, or they would be gone...

An I didn't have me no fat cat daddy wad of Benjamins burnin an MCS hole in my pocket, when I made my choice...(Never do, actually!)

However, after a few years research, passively, I managed to come in WAY under th $1000 benchmark, with a cooker that I think (I'm hopin) will meet my needs...

It's not at all capacious, glamourous, or feature-laden...nonetheless, I (again) hope it will perform as advertised, and as I envisioned.

It didn't take quite as long as I feared, to unbox, which is good, cause it's been a tryin week, an I was all kinda bout leavin it fer tomorrow, or another day.

Ahma take a break now (Long Week), transfer some pics to PC, an then I'll carry on with this...might not git all done tonight...

Remember, yall heard it First, Right Here!

[SMOG MAN]

Mr. Bones We welcome you to the pellet Brigade with open arms brotha!

[Mr. Bones]

Many Thanks fer th warm welcome, brother!
Reckon it'll be a while, afore yall show me th Secret Handshake, an such, but I'm generally a patient man...

[HawkerXP]

NO!!!!!!!! You didn't really go to the POOPER side!!!!

Awe, congrats to you Mr. Bones.Enjoy your new machine!!!

[Mr. Bones]

Heehee, Technically, jus to th pellet side; mine has no auger, so doesn't poop.
On th bright side, it requires no AC power source!

[T-bone]

HawkerXP - C'mon Gerry, us PelletHeads ain't all bad. LOL

Mr. Bones - Congrats an' good luck on your journey down the pellet path.

[Mudkat]

Dang @pellet bones. Hope all your fire eaters welcome the new fella to the party!

[FishTalesNC]

Congrats Mr. Bones and looking forward to some pellet cooker pics!

[Mr. Bones]

Thanks, Brother!
I'll try an git some worthy shots in fer yall!

[MBMorgan]

Got a drum roll goin’, Bro ... but my arms won’t hold out forever ... 😎 ...

[Mr. Bones]

Appreciate th 'fanflare', My Friend! Yer stamina was most admirable, yer chops divine!
Thanks!

[texastweeter]

Somethings fishy... and its not the 4lbs of river cat i just fried up with some corn muffins..

[Mr. Bones]

Yer right, Brother!

[RonB]

Let me check the calendar - it must be April Fools Day. Nope - ya really went and did it! Congrats - I think.

[Mr. Bones]

Indeed, I did, Brother...

Done went, an, while I was there; Hail, I jus went ahead an Did It!

[Mr. Bones]

Well, fer starters, here's th fuel, I ordered, same time I ordered my cooker...

Natcherly, th cooker had a longer lead time, but: hey, free ship.

Sit back, self medicate, try to be patient. Eat good food. Repeat, as needed...


Okay, I hear yall...mebbe that ain't th best / most representative, clear pic of my fuel horde...
Here's th advert:

I've had this fuel a week, was kinda gittin sorta antsy, some...

Didn't git so dang bad itchy as to try any out in my pipe, though...kinda proud of that, in retrospect.
So far, I done Good!

[CandySueQ]

Mr. Bones, you don't got fuel there! Those are smoking pellets, 100% specie and they really don't work good straight in the hopper! Bettin you got those off of Amazon...

Call me 877-275-9591 and I'll get you some fuel!

[Donw]

Congratulations! With this addition you have added another tool to your arsenal and I know you will master it in short order. I look forward to reading about your adventures with it.

[Mr. Bones]

Thanks, amigo!
I'll try not to disappoint...

[Mr. Bones]

Yall do realize, I'm gonna have a whole new raft of dumb questions, huh? Jus warnin ya...

Reckon th next part of th festivities was th unboxin; I know others kinda enjoy this moment, as well...

It wasn't a freakishly large parcel, but, yet there was no assembly to be done!

Kudos, Mr. Yet-to-be-revealed Mfr.!

[phoccer]

Lol!

[Locotech]

lol, well done .....was startin' to "self medicate"....thinkin you'd turned...

[Mr. Bones]

Locotech reckon ya know better than alla that...
Enjoy th Self Medicatin part of th process...

[texastweeter]

hahaha, i knew it! i use a tube and an amazin maze on the grill and to cold smoke.

[Mr. Bones]

T-bone Only Time will tell, right?
Make ya a Runnin Offer...
I'll give ya $1000/yr, from today, until th very day I buy a pellet pooper, if ya'll give me $100/yr, both Pro rata

Now, if somebody were to loan/give me one to test out, report back on, that don't even count...

[Mr. Bones]

made 20lbs of it a few ago. If ya need any help lemme know Mr. Bones

Doubtless, I will call upon yer experience, an expertise!
Many Thanks, Brother!

[T-bone]

Mr. Bones that’s a high flutin’ math word problem there and I’ve never been any good with those so I’ll respectfully pass. However, I hope you get a taker on that pellet grill loaner. It’ll be just one more step towards being a certified pellet griller. 😃 Good luck, Brother!

[HawkerXP]

Ok Mr. Bones. Not really a cooker but they do take pellets to smoke. My latest addition.

[Mr. Bones]

Gorgeous Locos, Brother!
As well as bein a Certified WingNut, I'm a total, Lifelong RailHead!
Seen some, when I was a youngun, could smoke, an run on track. Even HO Scale Pellet poopers, like yers lol!

Wasn't in our budget, but really cool to lil Bones!!!
Tell me more bout yer locos, when ya have a minute or two, please. Most Cool!

[HawkerXP]

I'm mostly into the post war Lionel O gauge engines, rolling stock and track side things. Inherited my Dads and oldest brothers stuff. Stock piling track to keep myself busy during retirement.Whenever that happens. Maybe run a line out to Kanas!

[Randy-Phx]

My oldest brother used to be the web master and a board member of the LCCOA. You may know him.

[HawkerXP]

[Mr. Bones]

Super Cool, sweet layout! Trestles are bonus cool...
O Scale can take up some area

[Mudkat]

Cool stuff Hawker!

[Mr. Bones]

Gives me summat to tinker with.
Looks like a steep learnin curve

[EdF]

Before I magnified that book spine pic, I read it as "Tame your girl with a BBQ Smoker"!

[Mr. Bones]

EdF, I'da posted that in a different Channel LOL!

[CaptainMike]

That ain't pellut poopin!

[Mr. Bones]

Now, I never even once used that word...
Neither, after more careful examination lol!
