Intro

[Settertude Smokin']

Howdy folks--I run English Setters, pick a guitar, ride a Harley, love Jesus and like any red-blooded American been grilling since shortly after my beard started growing. I've been mostly a Weber guy and currently use a gas grill for grilling and two years back--bought a Weber Smokey Mountain. Since--its turned out some eatable cooks and old Sett has developed a world famous rub--loved by all and available to none.

Anyway--I'm about over the gas grill and the "one who must be obeyed" agrees. She is a tad smarter than me.
So--I'm looking at a charcoal/wood fired combo grill and smoker that won't break the bank of this Oklahoman migrated from NH enjoying the mostly lack of snow and polar vortexes.

Whatchagot?

Yup--we owned a Ryman/Old Hemlock orange Belton--Bromley was a heck of a dog. I've had a couple Llews, which is what I have now.
Big difference the northern NE woods and the prairie out here.

I suppose, but it would be a hassle getting stuff out and I have the 14" version. Anyway--I have a hankering for an off-set with more surface and that firebox that can be used as a grill.
I am willing to learn, though.

Yup--my better half loves these. I get extra points when I cook 'em. Its really better to seal the ham in with a slice of cheese on the burger and then on the ham. If ya like onion or shrooms, then slap em between the layers and let the cheeses seal them in, too.
A wee horseradish employed don't hurt.
