Welcome to the Obsession! Nice uncrating and 1st cook. Looks like you're all set now! Just bang out the burn-in and it's off to the races!

Like Dennis says, some folks are just content with a Chevy and don't want a Ferrari, even if they could afford one!

Excellent cook!

Excellent job!

Way to go Mrs. Reef! What DON'T you own now, ckreef?

Upper 50s!

Merry Christmas everyone. Yes, it's a white Christmas here, just because of all the previous snow build up. Too warm now to snow right now. Mini heat wave.

Yeah, but it's like a rollercoaster this week, bouncing between 50s and 20s. Crazy.

Yummy! Happy Christmas Eve, everyone.

We're having a heat wave here. In the low 50s and upper 40s. Way above normal.

@Basher - just don't burn up in a wildfire.

Great cooks, indeed. Good to hear that you are still smoking away. Second that - MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY HOLIDAYS to everyone!

Very nice. Worth braving the elements for.

I just got a pichana from Porter Road. I've done one from them before - very good.

Wait until you do a whole chicken. You'll really be blown away.

MacKenzie said, "I bet chocolate coated macadamia nuts from Hawaii are delicious. " I've had them and yes, they're addictive. I can see how Bruce ate the whole box!

I have had it. It is very, very good - melts like butter on your tongue. Worth the money, maybe? Same category as Wagyu beef.

I'd eat that!

I gave up using wood chips in it, as I had too much trouble keeping it lit. I've switched to pellets. You might want to give those a shot and see if you get better results.

@PVPAUL - a pound (500 gm) is a LOT of purple crack. Unless you plan to gift a bunch to others, I'd pay the extra price for the smaller amounts (50 gm) on Amazon and elsewhere. It's really strong, so a little goes quite a long way. I use it frequently and an ounce lasts me a couple of months. YMMV
