    Available pellets in Metro Deroit?

    Hey! Found a local store who carries Lumberjack pellets! 40lb bag for only $49.86!!!! Whoo hoo! Yeah right, ain't gonna happen! That is definately a little too dear for me. Pit boss is what I'll be using for now.

    Is it just me?

    Glad it's not just me then, that's a relief!!!! Hate to think that my taste buds are changing so much as I get older. Maybe someday though, they'll come up with a viagra for older taste buds!

    MES 40 $175

    Well, I pulled the trigger on it, $241 shipped to me. I was going to look at a craigslist MES40 about 30 miles away tomorrow so I saved some time and gas. Thought I'd be able to get the craigslist one down a bit but this one has a 1200w element and wasn't certain on the other. Also, the...

Secondary though in SS kegs in the chest freezer. Never...
