I’m back

[dustyl]

Well my wife passed a few months ago, I retired a month ago and I’ve taken to my smoking/grilling/cooking for some of my time consumption. I fired up the Mastercraft gas smoker for some pulled pork a little earlier this year. Massive five burner Charbroil infrared gas needs $$$ repairs. ME30 under cover. So I bought a Pitboss Lexington pellet smoker grill. Learning curve not good for diet. Will be looking for tips and recipes. Thanks

Hi there and welcome back!
I'm sorry to hear about the wife, some time and some good food always helps with a loss.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you make and if you have issues with your MES30 speak up, I'm sure we can get any of them fixed or provide work around options to keep going with it or even improve the hell out of it :)

Cooking and smoking are great pastimes.

Sorry to read about losing your wife. I cannot imagine...
Pellet poopers good for what you can get out of them.
I use mine for low and slow. It is horrible above 300°

Sorry for your loss. Cooking is good therapy and time filler.

Sorry about your loss. Takes time to recover. Hope to see you posting your cooks.

So sorry about your wife. I can't imagine, but I did have this true conversation with my wife a while back.

Me: I don't think I'd be able to get along without you. So I've resolved to go first.
Her: That's fine.
Me: ???

My thoughts and prayers go out to you. A very large family here to help you out if needed.

Welcome back! So sorry for the loss of your wife.

Sorry for your loss... Same happened here... It was difficult for awhile... Still is difficult after 5 years... but doable... Not the same but things will change for the better... My cooking added about 50#'s.... I only cook things I really like... Maybe that's a mistake but I'm OK with it for now... A guy has to have something to look forward to don't he ????
I hope things go well for you... You need anything, I'm here....

 

[dustyl]

Brought a smile. We had the same conversation. I insured myself up pretty good so she would be set for life. Not so much the other way. Good people here too. I’ve done burger and chicken on pellet, this week with a break in weather,smoked beef ribs.
