From one Texan to another, congrats on the purchase ... you definitely won't be disappointed. Best of luck with those ribs and chicken tomorrow; but please note that Texas law does require you to do a brisket post haste. ;D
Welcome to the party, Phil! Great purchase decision! Many happy days of smoking ahead of you, for sure. And, don't let these guys beat you up too bad about the Cowboys thing...everybody knows America's "real" team is the Packers! LOL! 8)
