    I'm guessing that the pork butt in the sink turned out okay though?

      Live and learn, but I hear the butt in the toilet tasted and smelled like crap.

    I think it's computers, iPhones, video games and irresponsible parenting. I was working when I was 13. My first job was picking potatoes. Doing that is now ILLEGAL.😡 My next job was delivering papers. That job is now ILLEGAL. My next job was pumping Ethel, gas😆. That job is now extinct because of computers. Kids have been screwed by dumb laws, regulations and computers.😡

      Don't even get me started on my childhood versus the ridiculous childhood most kids today experience. At 11 I was delivering newspapers. I got up at 4:45 every morning, folded 110 newspapers, loaded up my bag, got on my bike and had them all delivered by 6 AM.

      Don't forget keeping score at the local bowling alley at night on top of that. And only 110? I ran three routes for a total of about 250 papers every afternoon after school.

      I tell you, I had to walk uphill to school, both ways, in the snow!

      I agree with Breadhead. It seems that as our devices get smarter, we get dumber. And don't get me started on bad parenting! 😡

    Perhaps we need a new forum category, BBQ DARWIN AWARD NOMINATIONS, we can run a poll at the end of the year. The member that was the OP of the winner will win a medal to commemorate it. I will happily provide the medals lol.

      ecowper Thanks for sharing. I heard about this on the radio this morning on the drive in to work. I mean, when you want some brisket you want some brisket.

        If you have a Weber Kettle, you need the Slow 'N' Sear

        slow n sear
        The Slow 'N' Sear turns your grill into a first class smoker and also creates an extremely hot sear zone you can use to create steakhouse steaks.

        The Good-One Is A Superb Grill And A Superb Smoker All In One

        the good one grill
        The Good-One Open Range is dramatically different from a traditional offset smoker. By placing the heat source behind and under the smokebox instead of off to the side, Open Range produces even temperature from left to right, something almost impossible to achieve with a standard barrel shaped offset.

        Griddle And Deep Fryer In One

        Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
        The flat top does the burgers and the fryer does the fries. Use the griddle for bacon, eggs, and home fries. Or pancakes, fajitas, grilled cheese, you name it. Why stink up the house deep frying and spatter all over? Do your fried chicken and calamari outside. Blackstone's Rangetop Combo With Deep Fryer does it all!

        The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy

        Pit Barrel Cooker Smoker
        The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

        The Undisputed Champion!

        thermapen
        The Thermoworks Thermapen MK4 is considered by the pros, and our team, to be the single best instant read thermometer. The MK4 includes features that are common on high-end instruments: automatic backlight and rotating display. Don't accept cheap substitutes.

        Grilla Pellet Smoker proves good things come in small packages

        Grilla pellet smoker

        Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?

        PK 360 grill
        The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it's easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.

        Our Favorite Backyard Smoker

        kareubequ bbq smoker

        The amazing Karubecue is the most innovative smoker in the world. The quality of meat from this machine is astonishing. At its crux is a patented firebox that burns logs above the cooking chamber and sucks heat and extremely clean blue smoke into the thermostat controlled oven. It is our favorite smoker, period.

        Masterbuilt MPS 340/G ThermoTemp XL Propane Smoker

        masterbuilt gas smoker
        This is the first propane smoker with a thermostat, making this baby foolproof. Set ThermoTemp's dial from 175? to 350?F and the thermostat inside will adjust the burner just like an indoor kitchen oven. All you need to do is add wood to the tray above the burner to start smokin'.

        The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted

        NK-22-Ck Grill
        Napoleon's NK22CK-C Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It's hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the NK22CK-C a viable alternative.

        Finally, A Great Portable Pellet Smoker

        Green Mountain Davey Crockett Grill

But it's also gaining popularity with people who want to add a small, set it and forget it pellet smoker to their backyard arsenal. And with their WiFi capabilities you can control and monitor Davy Crocket from your smart phone or laptop.
