Thanks for the reports, Jorge! Keep 'em coming! I'm learning vicariously through you!

Aw... Shucks... thanks, Steve!

Needless to say, I brought my own coffee and a hand grinder to grind it fresh each morning.

How about a chicken (OK, rooster) out at Vie's?

Thanks. We'll do better next time. Rookie mistakes. Oh well. It happens... The best advice I've received was from a veteran Egger... He told me to "trust the Egg". Once you get the temps stabilized and holding steady for a while, don't mess with it. I made the same mistake on one of my fi...

Check Craig's List. You can get a pretty good deal if you are patient. My second large and my small came from CL.

RickG-As they say in the hills, "Boy, you ain't right." :lol: Ron_L-Thanks for the info. I had no idea the charcoal would last that long even at low temps. I guess I'm going to have to go back to the instruction book and figure out the plate setter thing. I intend to get one before we smo...

Hey Ron Are you doing the Zoobque this year. Tom Yep... We'll also be at the Big Pig Jig in Menomonee Falls in September. Our team name is Captain Ron's Brew-n-Que. Thanks for chiming in Ron_L. To answer your question, we did not get a platesetter. Is one necessary to smoke butts? Well... You need ...

Oh yeah...

Rick and Augie...

Nice butts...

Where is Ron_L... Ummm... Right here... :oops: I'm lurking but missed this thread because we were in Vegas for a few days. A little birdie told me you guys were talking about me (thanks, nothintolose! :D ). Things have been absolutely insane around here. Besides being very busy at work my moderator...

[/lurk]I had to turn off my cloaking device for this thread... I'm sitting here watching the weather forecast (-10 tonight, 6" of snow tomorrow if you're curious) and a post by Augie on the BBQ Brethren forum reminded that I had been neglecting my St. John friends. So I stop by and read this th...

Nice job on the turds and fatty, Steve! Great smoke ring.

I need to cook something...

Ron, I was wondering where you were! Hi! What do you do that causes you to travel so much? I am a Product Manager for a company that makes videoconferencing equipment. The irony is that our customers use our equipment to reduce travel :roll: We recently bought a competitor and thier products fall i...

My wife made a birthday cake for KK's 19th birthday. I though you would appreciate it... http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d172/Ron_L/FlipflopCake03.jpg Yeah... I'm still alive and lurking. My travel schedule was nuts at the end of last year. I did 25,000 miles from Oct - December and it's starting ...

How about some Thanksgiving Porn? I'll start... The first turkey in the BGE. Brined in an apple brine, rubbed with herb butter made with fresh herbs, stuffed with onions, apples, carrota, celery, lemons and oranges and cooked at 325 in the Egg. http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d172/Ron_L/Big%20Gree...

My Blackberry 8703e has GPS built in. I use the Telenav software and it works great. It's $9.95 / month for the Telenav app and service. I am looking at the new Intellinav 3. It has some new traffic monitoring capabilities and also have a pedestrian mode. A lot of GPS units only do routing for drivi...
