Might sound a little weird, but how about a reciprocating saw (sawz-all) with a metal blade? Cheaper than a bandsaw and portable.

I just find it easier to place a pan down there on the basket handles rather than emptying out basket itself.

I've smoked jerky a few times. I place an old pan (meatloaf, pie, etc.) in the bottom and use just a few pieces of charcoal and wood in that pan. Gives better control of flame/temp. Also stay out of the wind. It can more or less pull a vacuum on the smoker making temp harder to control. YMMV

I'll take my indoor Northern California air quality over outdoor L.A. (Southern California) air quality any day of the week.

So @tony b did it cook like a beef brisket? How many lbs. was it?

@tony b are you spending others peoples money again?! I'm waiting to see how much it cost before I jump in...but I'm interested.

I cook lamb the same way...only over fresh rosemary cuttings and from the beginning on. Not just at the end of the cook.

Ghee or butter under the skin, rub +baking powder on the skin.

Go gang-green!!

Leftover!!? WTF...

Same with me!

Welcome! Congrats on your KK. Speaking as the owner of a cobalt blue tile KK, I think you made the right choice.

I'd put the butter and seasonings under the skin and baking powder on the skin a few hours before cooking.

Actually, I think they both look great!

I have a 16" TT in cobalt blue...tiles! I remember reading on this forum a long time ago that all KKs were tiles. Between shipping damage, accidental drops and such the corners were knocked off or rounded over. Dennis, being ever-so thrifty thought "I bet I can glue all these damaged tiles on and some folks will think they're something special!" And now you know the history behind the damaged tile UMM...pebble KKs.

Careful...They know how to pry open your wallet!

The bar within walking distance from my house stocks Pliny. Good stuff! Always takes a little longer walking home!!

Happy birthday to you both.

Congrats! What color, tile or pebble, etc.

My daughter had the same reaction when she found out I was meeting @tony b in Santa Rosa. She asked if I ever watch TV?! People wind up missing all the time after a face to face with someone they met on the internet she told me.

Very nice!!

Way off topic here but, reminded me of an old joke. What did the captain of the Exxon Valdez say to his first mate? Damn it! I said a rum and coke on the rocks! NOT run the boat on the rocks!!

That's why I make sure the guest room has a crappy mattress!

Can you fit lunch into your schedule? Or eat at one and get something to go (takeout) from the other for the ride/flight home.

Higher education?! well it is 4/20!!
