Thanks for the tip! I never would have thought of that.
Farmer eh??? So you might appreciate a good country song?

Had some great roasted Brussels sprouts and mashed tatoes with it. Now having one of those Añejos!
I listed to all kinds of music. When I’m a piece of machinery 10-12 hours you change the stations because you’ve heard everything on each station. Lol I’m pretty well versed in music

Yup! Here's my grill:
Indirect Grilled Ribs - Tutorial
So, I figured I would teach my son the art of the pit! He had been asking me for a while, so here we are. Told him I would give him full access to the spice rack, let him make a custom rub, and prep a rack of ribs. This morning we trimmed and rubbed a rack of St. Louis spares. Daddy did the...

That’s a huge firebox, nice! I don’t often get the chance to use my log-burner anymore, between work and the kids. I won a Pit Boss vertical pellet smoker on the radio a few years ago, and have used that for most of my smoking cooks ever since. I miss using my offset, though. It’s made of iron about 1/4” thick, and smokes like a dream! Yours has one helluva chimney, too!
I do like the egg quite a bit. I’m still learning it
If I were buying one for myself I’d go with the kamado joe. Same thing little less money and comes with all the accessories the egg doesn’t come with. One thing I really like is it’s super easy on charcoal. It’s air tight so if you shut the chimney and intake off it saves all the coal and snuffs the flame. I toss some small oak chunks in when I’m done and let it burn then snuff it. Pretty much keeps itself full of coal.

This is the key right here. I used to be absolutely stuck on offset smoking only until I really really buckled down and learned the ways of indirect grilling. It sure opened up a lot more opportunities for firing up the pit because as @Capn_Jackson mentioned, finding the minimum 6+ hours it takes to do a offset smoke is damn near impossible most times. I get to fire mine up 4 times a year if I'm lucky, so a 1.5-3 hour indirect grill session is much more feasible, and the food turns out great.

I learned to use my Weber kettle for the same purposes, to an extent. Especially with the slow n sear accessories, I can do direct and indirect in the same session. Later this week I’ll be doing fajitas. Searing the meat, then veggies on a slow n sear griddle on the indirect side. I’ll be sure to post some pics, think I’m doing that Wednesday.
Nice! I also recommend a Vortex (really just the off brand one from Amazon is just fine). It doesn't work for all applications, but it is amazing for chicken wings, especially if you're making a lot of them at once.

Oh yes! I have a Vortex and an Arteflame plancha-style griddle insert around it. Love doing wings this way! Also burgers work well like this. I’m actually thinking of doing a “lobster party” using the same method.

I was actually talking about that Droid looking BBQ you have. That thing is cool! This smoker/grill is very nice too!

Grilled fajitas on the kettle tonight, using the Slow n Sear, and the slow n sear griddle. Wagyu skirt steak and chicken.
