Looking for knowledge

[SmokinVOLfan]

Where do you get your meat in town? Grocery or is there a butcher you favor?

Just depends on what it is. If I'm looking for pork belly, packer briskets, or anything more than choice grade then I'll hit up Costco. Other than that usually wherever has stuff on sale that week. Kroger's, Food Lion, Publix etc...Food City sells a lot of select grade meat for what I can normally get choice for so don't usually shop there. Mother Earth meats in Maryville is good and so is Fresh market but both are quite expensive.

Thanks for the knowledge. I've had good luck with Sam's on leg of lamb.

Welcome.
I have been looking for knowledge for a long time. The only thing I have found is the more it know, the more I know I don't know.
That doesn't help but I couldn't resist.
Just keep grilln' and it will come.

Hi ofelles,
I believe you are correct. Thanks.

Hi gmc2003,
I like it!!
I feel like a Animal House reference is necessary. :)
Thanks.

I’m sorry to be so late to the party. Been working at my sisters shop all week and haven’t been on line at all.

Welcome to the forum, anything specific I can help with I am happy to try. As far as the Langs...they are super versatile. One of the main reasons I bought one (two now), was I had trouble maintaining a good fire and temps for extended cooks. That all changed with the Lang and I haven’t looked back. Now I own a Fatboy deluxe and it redefined Lang’s versatility to me. I cold smoke, hot smoke, chargrill, hang snack sticks and sausages. And, I haven’t really scratched the surface with all it can do. I love my Lang, and don’t know anyone who owns one, that doesn’t love theirs as well.

Again, welcome; and if I can help w anything specific just shoot me a message.

Hi 73saint! Thank you for reaching out.
YES, good fire & temps are what I struggle with. My smoker temps swing wildly. The all 1/4" construction will help that?

I am looking at the 48 patio. I will mostly be cooking at home, I was going without the warming box. I was going to get the stainless steel grates. Anything else I should get?

Thank you for any advice.
