You hit nail squarely on the head with that statement John, I agree 100%. If you aren't so fortunate as to be The Chosen One I'll let you borrow my copy for a couple of weeks, tho I'll surely be wanting it returned. I'm about halfway thru the book now having only skipped the section about building your own smoker. This book is just about a required manifesto for anyone with a offset stick burner, Franklin pretty much focuses on those so far. I've already picked up a load of tricks on technique and I've yet to get to the section where meat is on the grill, kind of amazing how much I don't know. I thought I was getting pretty darned good with my SQ36, I now realize I've just scratched the surface. RAY
