You might be a pit member if...

[Spinaker]

when your brother asks you every time you see him, no matter the time of day, "were you smoking something in those clothes?" #brotherlylove

[jecucolo]

Love it!

[Breadhead]

You might be a Pit member if your son invites you over for a great steak dinner... Meaning he wants me to grill him steaks he bought at Costco.😆

[Spinaker]

When your meat funds are bleeding money, but you don't care because the BBQ is fire.

[fuzzydaddy]

Having meat funds. That's a reason!

[Spinaker]

....when don't even realize you have "Meat Funds" hahahaha fuzzydaddy

[Fine Swine]

Meat funds save you money! And taste better than some expensive restaurants...

[Jon Solberg]

If you think sou vide is actually BBQ .

[Breadhead]

It's a handy dandy tool to prepare food properly BEFORE putting it on the BBQ. Dry brine it. Sous Vide it. BBQ it.

That's the ONLY way I do tri-tip's anymore.

[Jon Solberg]

Like I said you're a Pit Member if you thinks it's BBQ. It's a compliment to you.

Trolls live under the bridge (IOW In the lower Peninsula below the mighty mac)

So this troll doesn't believe sioux vi doo vi doo is BBQ!

[jecucolo]

You might be a pit member if your laying in bed and your wife says "your smoking with pecan aren't you?"⊙﹏⊙

[Powersmoke_80]

You might be a Pit member if you have more pictures of food on your phone than family!

[Fine Swine]

So true...I am a convict in this regard...Good excuse to buy more meat!

[Medusa]

I am guilty of this... LOL!

[fuzzydaddy]

You might be a pit member if you know all the neighbors that get home between midnight and 6 am

[Powersmoke_80]

You might be a Pit member when you drive 80 miles one way to the nearest Costco to pick up prime brisket on a regular basis.

[boftx]

If you have to drive 80 miles to a Costco you're probably already zoned to raise your own beef.

[Powersmoke_80]

boftx Technically maybe yes, They only have them in lower MI near Detroit and a couple on the west side nothing north of Auburn hills.

You might be a Pit member if... You count briquettes to the exact amount to fill a charcoal starter.😆

You might be a pit member if you know all the neighbors that get home between midnight and 6 am

There are other hobbies (obsessions?) that help with that.

[Spinaker]

Awesome!! What is your focus? jgg85234

[PBCDad]

Oh good, stargazing. I thought Pit Boss was going to have to lay down a "family site" warning...

[jgg85234]

Well PBCDad I guess that would depend on the elevation of the scope 😳

[jgg85234]

Spinaker probably a better discussion in the Off Topic forum. I'll start it up in the next day or two if anyone is really interested.
After all, smoke is bad for telescope lenses and eyepieces😞

[sfrancis353]

If you spend most of your free hours trying to think up all the reasons to tell your wife why we need yet another smoker. But you can't get rid of the ones you have because they are like children.

[Mosca]

If you obsessively read a recipe on Amazing Ribs before you make it, memorizing every detail and going over it in your head, asking questions on the forum and parsing the answers, cooking it in your mind and anticipating the results, and then one day you go out and make it and it comes out perfect. Because that's what The Pit is for.
