Jason, that IS really saying something, coming from you! I will certainly make sure Steve sees this post, and we certainly appreciate your endorsement!
It's funny how reviled these smokers are in the "real" BBQ world, but how we can make such great BBQ in them is even more funny! I posted, awhile back, about a guy that came to our office (for a "Driver Appreciation Week" cookout) with a $5,000 custom competition smoker, and smoked pork butts. He was there, all night, tending his pit. When it came time for pulled pork, pretty much everyone in the office came by and said "it's pretty good, but it's not yours!" I got a real kick out of that, as this guy did comps all over, but my little SI beat him in the real world!
Thanks so much for being a part of our little family here - your input, and experience, has been absolutely wonderful, my friend!
