    Unnamed Cooker

    Takes about 25 lbs of charcoal. I'd like to get one of those aluminum deals that holds a turkey in a deepfryer. I think that would be real easy to stick through the bird, wrap in the bag and attach to my chain. Anyone have specs on one so I can build one??

    Starting a competition, lookin for help

    The kids are doing everything so there really isn't any parent involvement with the building end of it. Most of these kids bbq and smoke quite a bit with their folks because they are always bringing me in samples to try, so I am sure they well get recipe and food prep help from their folks.
