    MES30 Stainless for $179.97 black friday

    I got one of these this morning for my Dad...only time I've ever gone out on black Friday. Line was around the front, side, and part of the back of the basspro. When I got up to the camping section, there were about 20 left...5 min later they were gone. Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk

    Craigslist New Braunfels - Anyone know when Char-Broil took over making these?

    Thanks for the info, I'm pretty sure it has the original logo on it. I guess I will have to just see how much rust there is. The guy claims he oiled it up every year, so we'l see.

    18 lb Brisket and (2) 10 lb Butts ***QVIEW***

    Yeah, trust me, I didn't really want to trim it. My wife did...I'll call it an experiment, if it doesn't come out as good, I'm not trimming it again. I saved the fat I trimmed, I think I'll drape it over the meat when I wrap it, this is going to be pulled brisket. Oh, for the extra space in...

    Thanks, so I'm hoping this thing is at least 13 years old then. Going to try to check it out this weekend.

    Well, it's been a while since I posted any qview, but I'm doing a big smoke today and thought I'd share. Got an 18 lb brisket (trimmed out to 11lbs 4.5oz) and I also got two 10 lb bone-in pork butts going on. Going to be a long day! Going in the ECB with lump and apple splits, and one hickory...

    Craigslist New Braunfels - Anyone know when Char-Broil took over making these?

    talked to the guy, a little more info...he says he's owned it 5-6 years, and his buddy owned it before him. When did Char-broil take over making these?

    Good BBQ around Vegas???

    Well, haven't posted for a few weeks because I've been traveling for work almost non-stop. Spent the last 3 weeks in Vegas, and will be spending about 5 more months here. Back and forth to home every week. Could be worse places to go on a field assignment though!!! Anyway, craving some BBQ...
