    What went wrong?

    I would guess undercooked, change 1 thing at a time so you know what works what doesn’t, baby backs can vary a lot in weight these days so a set 5 hours ain’t always true depending on pit temp, a remote therm is a really nice thing to have when you are trying new smokers meats or methods.

    Bought a grill for church - big cook tomorrow - warm up

    I bought 1 of those grills about a year or so ago, works well, I been known to throw a log on it and cook/smoke something on the other side or the top rack. hard to do with my Weber kettle, the short distance between racks limits stuff you can do but is still a grilling machine.

I came close to buying a masterbuilt charcoal , $250 but 2 things stopped me, the wife and the fact that Kingsford had stopped the twice yearly charcoal sales, they...

    Are Kroger Grocery Store Meat and Seafood Prices Better Lately?

    Picked up a pack of the Smithfield bacon a couple weeks ago and so salty I couldn't eat it, they didn't have the $1.99 brisket sale this year, hopefully they will do the Prime rib sales around the holidays.

    Nighttime Grill Lighting

    I put a Blink flood lite up at my back door, lots of light as it has 2 heads, liked it so much put 1 on the front, auto on with movement means I can go out the door and it pops on and you can set as to how long it stays lit. tried a lot of lights and such and use a lot of head band types still.

    Countertop ice maker

    Mine is a Igloo, had it for a long time, dumps about every 6-7 minutes, bought for the camper as I hate trays. Funny that Frigidaire put that icemaker into their fridges and they were a complete failure with theirs, when the fingers get bent up the icemaker is done, such a fight to put that part...
