    Weather took an ugly turn.....what to do? (Final pics posted)

    I started 4 butts nice and early this morning and all was going well.  Temperatures were cool and hover around 38F.  Now the temps have dropped to about 33F and it's raining pretty hard and the wind has picked up.  The smoker temp is having trouble maintaining and is slowly dropping but still...

    Still unsure if I should get a smoker

    Hi All, My current propane grill is pretty much done and I need a replacement. I've always wanted a smoker but we do a fair bit of grilling (steaks, burgers, veggies, etc) so I would like a unit to do both. I was at a Lowe's yesterday and saw an Oklahoma Joe's Highland offset smoker/grill. Is...
