Second anniversary

[DaveD]

Two years ago today, I took delivery on my first smoker, the Pit Boss Copperhead 5 vertical pellet smoker. Thus began the journey...

[Richard Chrz]

Fantastic! Happy anniversary to smoking, the journey becomes you!.

[RonB]

What? No cake??

[Bkhuna]

Someone will respond for with a recipe for smoked layer cake. Mark my words.

You gonna get laid?

[DaveD]

gboss funny you should mention thread count... when my lovely bride and I were first courting, I impressed her by understanding what thread count even was, apparently a first for her in her menfolk experience

[texastweeter]

We are bamboo sheet people now. I lie the weight of them.

Stay calm and smoke on!

I forgot to mention that I named the Pit Boss "Uncle Slayton" after a memorable character in the great James McMurtry's classic song Choctaw Bingo. Amongst his attributes is that he "sells his hardwood timber to the chippin' mill", and once when pouring in a big sack of pellets, I was idly reading the label as they slowly poured in, describing their being made of 100% hardwood chips. I realized that someone had to bring their hardwood timber to a chippin' mill in order for pellets to exist - and so, Uncle Slayton it is!

Here's ol' Slayton nowadays, with plenty of road wear...

At the risk of oversharing, here's my solo guitar version of Choctaw...

He probably put beans in his chili's they ran him off.

[DaveD]

texastweeter OK, I actually LOL'd!

[Bad Hat BBQ]

You do not cook like a newbie...that is for sure
Happy Birthday!

[DaveD]

That is very kind of you to say! Without question, the folks here have been fundamental in my BBQ edumacation. I'm sure all y'all helped me avoid a ton of newb stumbles.

Gratz Dave. Your smokes on your Copperhead 5 inspired me to buy one and I love it.

[DaveD]

Aw, thanks man!
