That is a great first cook story! I can't imagine how crazy your Mom went when that happened. Hahaha, I hope that was a well seasoned CI pan!
You know you have MCS when your looking for Rehab for it! Your not alone brother, when you find the cure, let me know. BTW, what the hell do you need the Nano for? LOL!!! Oh yeah, your sick, like me.
The LSG. Everything you mentioned is why I want a LSG. "It's just a lot of enjoyment." What could be better than that? I love the tips. Cracking the door seems to be the way to go. When I get my LSG, I am gonna be ripping that baby all day. (and night too, I suppose)
The plate rib dilemma. I have the same issue. "You gotta buy a whole case." Come on man!!!
I like the adding the citrus to the S&G. Would you plan on gathering the zest and adding it to the mix or dry it then add it?
I love your pick for rigs to buy. "I would take PaulstheRibList 's rig" Hahahaha. You and me both dude! That thing is killer.
Awesome interview Steve! I love the accent! I tease my younger bro about his every time he comes back from the Concrete Jungle that is NYC. Can't wait to meet up in Memphis.

Greg and SteveB - Great Job. I love that story about the bacon. I was about 5 and cooked mom scrambled eggs for Mother's Day. The horrified look on her and my pop's face when I brought it to her was priceless. I thought I did a pretty good job. Had I thought of bacon I guess it would have turned out like yours and would have made for a fantastic story. You had me laughing heartily as I envisioned the scenario! By the way - I don't really hear the accent. I saw the comments and listened for it.

Steve B A Wonderful Interview Brother! I really enjoyed that. You have a non sort of new york accent by way of the south, into the midwest, through a few Jewish delis and back out of the city.
Another fine job by the pit people and Greg!! Steve knows his way around some meat!
