I've found myself enjoying a more hands-on approach as well! My Uncle said I can get a cast iron pan and use coal as the main fuel source if I wanted too. I think I'll definitely have to try that, or maybe buy another coal smoker.

Thanks, Tex! I agree it was really thick bacon, Lol. Definitely getting thinner stuff next time!

Thanks so much!

That's awesome! Hopefully I'll be able to get a long time out mine too. :emoji_thumbsup:

Drum roll . . . the Smoker has been bought! Thank you so much to everyone who's provided such helpful advice! I really appreciate it. I had been seriously considering the WSM. I still think it's a great smoker, and probably would enjoy having one sometime. After quite a bit of thinking, a...

Funny Random Thought: It's gonna be fun telling people "I've been a smoker since I was 15" . . . wink, wink :emoji_wink:

Great, thanks Bear! I appreciate your advice! I'm checking out the link now. EDIT: Wow. My jaw dropped when I saw all those links. I'm pretty sure I had the same expression on my face when someone sees a pile of cash sitting in a vault, Lol. Thank you!

Thank you for the welcome Warren! I'm amazed by how amazing everyone's been - this is the 55th message in this thread. I'm excited to be able to join you all!

Woo-hoo! I've started my smoking career! Sort of . . . Mom let me start school an hour late today and craft up a DELICIOUS BBQ Sauce. Used it on my breakfast and it was awesome (steak and two eggs). Dad used it on his steak as well, and my brother (and fellow meat enthusiast) said he was...

Yep, reminds me of a book I read! When starting a new hobby or interest, you've got to make sure you enjoy it and it provides value to you, and if it does you've just got to stick with it even if the going gets tough/frustrating. In the end, you'll be glad you did! I definitely see how an...

Lol . . . wink, wink. :emoji_wink:

Wow! That's a price that's real hard to beat. Thanks for the link!
