Thanks Gary, suffice it to say, the leftover pulled pork sliders were a hit. :) Next session will be posted in the appropriate arena

Well, the ribs were a hit. Sausages, well, smoky goodness. We couldn't finish so that means leftovers. Sadly we didn't get pics of those. However, the picnics are still cruising along in the Forge. Haven't reached stall yet and they've been in for about 6 hours. I think because I've never...

Well, break in was done. Now it's time to see how she performs. Pork back ribs and 2 pork picnic roasts (to pull later on tonight). Loving the amount of meat that can be stuffed in here and still have room to spare. Once the roasts reduced in size, I added 4 brats in there too.

Thanks Mike. Looking forward to getting her fired up. The reviews here were pretty much tied between that and the Masterbuilt. The deciding factor was who had it in stock. Canadian Tire (Canada's answer to Pep Boys with housewares and sporting goods thrown in for good measure) has a re-branded...

Just introduced myself today as well. Hello from warm but overcast Edmonton :)

Got the image thing sorted out. Just used my phone to edit my first post. Tablet wasn't opening the pop-up windows to be able to upload them. Good to go now.

Thanks Richie, thanks to you as well. As for reading, was cruising around as a guest for months, essentially getting a feel for the joint, so to speak. Trouble? As an old grunt, I definitely don't need help in that department. I'm dysfunctional as it is lol. Have loads of pics of various...

Not really new to the grilling life, but new here, obviously ;) Hailing from Edmonton Alberta, I recently rediscovered charcoal after 20+ years of gassers. I was bitten by the charcoal bug in 2010 when I got a Cobb as a gift from my wife and we smoked our first pieces of pork. We even managed...
