I live in Florida, where it is almost hot enough to cook ribs 0n the hood of your truck. I work for a BBQ company that does catering. We have some fabulous cooks, and some great cookers to work with. At home I smoke meats on an Akorn Komado, and I like to use a cast iron pan atop a propane burner to do ,y cooking. I like to fish for crappie and ride around in my boat.
