The closest Bass Pro Shop for here is either in Nashville or I think Birmingham.   I know there is one in Prattville outside Montgomery.  The first 2 are about a two hour drive one way.  Crossing fingers he just borrows it..and brings Big Poppa home.

Have looked online for one like this one.  Everywhere they are listed they are sold out.  Except Amazon.  It does make me wonder if Camp Chef is or has done a redesign.  Has been 7 years since the last one.  I did see a 44" listed today at Lowes online.  The 24" is enough for me.  We will see what happens after Sunday.  I wont be smoking anything..but will drool over what yall do!

Okay Guys.  I was talking to my oldest daughter last nite.  She is a Mechanical Engineer and graduated from Auburn this past May.  She had to do a Senior Design project for the last year in school.  Her group chose to be tasked to make a Portable Grill that could possibly beat the BGE.  They tried to do it in a football shape for tailgating.  The grates  for the inside are going to be "football field" type lines with the School's Logo in the Middle for a brand for the meats.  Of course will be charcoal.  Talked to her about us making on UDS or something similar.

Here are two pics of their prototype.  Auburn of course is applying for a patent for it and the kids will get probably a pat on the back.  But their names will be on the patent too.

And I do have something up my sleeve and will let yall know about what I have decided to do in about a week concerning the Smoker.  Big Poppa is still at my house.  He hasn't come to get it yet.  And...I included the empty gas tank too.

The idea was for the "Vendor" who sponsored the build....to get the NCAA to help and get them "Okay" for the copyright laws.  Use a basic football field shape grid for the cooking parts. Have the has marks...the yard lines etc...and each "college" could have their main logo in the middle.  Looks great on paper.  But beating the BGE is a task!

Should I show it off in the builds section to the guys? Just bragging a bit on the kiddo.

Also..update.  Ben is coming tonight to take Big Poppa away.

Nope...I wish..free shipping takes a bit longer .. I guess I will have to make some Jambalaya or something for the Super bowl.  Haven't decided the new menu yet.

Had a friend offer his 6 foot stick burner anytime I need to use it.  Its a trailer rig.  Hmmmm!
