Here's the mac and cheese. About to take it to the wife for her employee picnic.
Obviously the smaller pan is for those confused souls who don't eat bacon.
Fired her up this morning. I've got a batch of sqwibs (sp?) Mac and cheese going, along with about a 4 lb pork butt. The temps are a little tricky to figure out at first but it's rolling along now at 230°. It's hard to let it do its thing after making an adjustment. Gotta keep telling myself to...
