Glad it worked out for you. One question - when you opened it up after the cook, had the wood chunks inside turned to charcoal or was there a bunch of ash? For others that want to do this, it's not necessary to put that many holes in it, nor do they need to be that big. Three small holes (1/8" drill bit) are really all it takes. The idea is to let just enough air inside to support the wood smoldering (producing smoke) without it getting enough air to actually burn. Also, to be complete - the holes go in the bottom and not in the lid to force the smoke produced to exit back into the fire and burn off some of the nasty volatiles to produce cleaner smoke. OK, lecture's over, class dismissed!

THANK YOU for adopting an older dog! They need good homes, too! He looks like a sweetie!

I buy a lot of meat at Costco. I like the cryopaks of Swift's Premium pork butts and ribs, as they are non-brined, unlike the ones at my local supermarket (Hormel).

Ribs, they're not just for breakfast anymore!

You are the master of beefies!

A new twist. After I get the dreaded error message, I close down the browser window and re-enter the URL. But, instead of getting the error message again, all I get is a blank white screen in the browser window?

ROFLMAO

Very nice, indeed! @MacKenzie - need to hook you up on this stuff, seeing your sriracha mayo. https://www.kpopfoods.com/collections/most-popular-purchases/products/kpop-kimchi-mayo-sauce-2-pack

Never thought of using mine that way, but hmmm?

Yep, that's the one!

Was trying to reply to this note and say Thanks, but I got the dreaded error message!!

I haven't been sent to Dennis' profile yet. But I did just get the error message after posting multiple replies and "likes." The frustrating part is that you can't readily get back into the Forum to try the log out/log in "fix." It finally let me back in and the 1st thing I did was log out and back in. Fingers crossed, it hasn't hiccupped yet!

Very nicely done! Love me some prime grade meats from Costco.

Less work for you, more time for adult beverages!

@El Pescador - we have a very bad habit on this Forum of coaxing others into buying lots of stuff - grills, accessories, spices/rubs, other pieces of cookware, etc. I'm as guilty as anyone and have a ton of stuff to show for it, too!

Not sure that I'm ready to jump into the deep end of this pool just yet!

I'm no expert; just cheap!

OK, will try that the next time it happens.

I just finished up a session of several replies, with both emoji's and imbedded links, no pics though, all without any hiccups. The only other browser that I could try would be my old version of Explorer, but not sure if that would help any? Shutting down the browser and restarting it doesn't solve the problem and I immediately get the error message upon restart.

I love mine. But, I didn't spend nearly that much on mine. There are good, cheaper alternatives on Amazon. Here's the one that I got. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C7SIGUO This one gets good ratings and is a bit cheaper than mine. https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01KNKNVDE

Especially after 2 bad harvest years in a row!

I've gotten the error message on both my desktop (Microsoft Edge) and on my Samsung phone (Android). While I think emoji's are part of it, sometimes it also happens when you try and post a picture. But, it can happen with just a simple text reply. No common thread that I've been able to observe.

We "usually" cut Noobs some slack, as they learn the art of the KK. Namaste!
