That is exactly correct!!!
Went to a party last Friday night where we had to put two people on it full time to keep the supply going for about four hours. Do you have any idea how much beer it takes to do that???
I see in another thread where, since the weather is awful, the smoker was moved in to the garage. The general response seems to be that it's a good idea. WRONG!!!
I would like to relate that a week ago, on another forum, pix were put up showing the guy's Spicewine smoker that got away from him...
Just a word to the wise about using your smoker in the garage. Over on another forum, a guy had pix a week ago about his Spicewine which got away from him and burned to the ground. He had it about 10 feet from the house and it burned the siding off the house. It was an amazing thing to see...
Where's Iowa? Is that where all the potatoes are grown? Is it cold there?
Seriously, Decide what fuel you want to use and what you want to spend, and do some searches on the threads. This is debated endlessly. A better smoker can mean anything from a UDS to a GOSM to an offset stick-burner to a...
It was 80 here yesterday. Cold front went thru and only in the 60's here today. Freezing our A$$es of at 60. Haven't been able to get in the pool in about a week now. Gulf is still warm though, swam yesterday. GO PATS...
Yikes, Gypsy. Those dudes are hard core. As long as you are totally ready, go for it!!! Memphis in May and American Royal are about as big as it gets, for BBQ anyway.

When doing both, I use straight Hickory. Mesquite is too strong IMHO (even when used 50/50 with Hickory) and is not allowed to play in my back yard any more.
Try this: yanno those Pork spares cryo-pacs? I buy mine at Sam's. When they get trimmed down to just the ribs, what to do with the extra...
Here in the land of Apalachicola Oysters, some people eat them raw (barf...), but I like to smoke them live in the shell and pour in a little hot sauce when they open. This method must be accompanied with ice-cold beer and repeated. Just because, that's why...
These two are inconflict with each other, but...
Versatile, and capable of some real high heat, but with ability to go low and slow: like a Big Green Egg.
Autoloader: like a Stumps.
Something that can be electronically controlled: like a BBQ Guru.
Since a BGE can go for 14 hours on one load...
