    Holy crap, SGH!

    You must have the most well-fed [and grateful] children, wife, extended family, neighbors, fire department, Boy Scout troop,  cardiologist team, and congregation in the world!  =D>


    The quality of your enviable cooks is out of this world, ^:)^

    and the frequency and quantity are a source of bogglement!  @-)


    You really are THE Man, man.

    Brother if you can buy a mini tonight. You wont regret it. I have cooked on mine at least twice a day since I purchased it. Sometimes 4 or 5 times a day. It's just a joy to use and it uses very little lump as well. I highly recommend a mini. Haven't used my large since I got the mini.

    Thank you friend for always posting your finding and excellent cooks to share.  It is people like you that make this forum a wonderful place.

    BTW, a mini is definitely in my future, $ is a little tight right now but it will happen!

    I got this one plus a nest and plate setter new in the box for 300 dollars. Someone my wife worked with won it as a prize and did not want it. Sold it to us on the spot. I was thrilled with the deal to say the least. Cazzy posted that he knew someone selling them new with the nest for 399 if I remember correct. He may can offer some insight if you are interested in one. I hope you get a mini. You will love it my friend.

    My son is begging for one! He is almost 16.  He told me he would pay for it himself. I didn't have a clue how much one cost.

    I think I still have turkey legs, turkey wings. Beef ribs and a few other items on you. Damn, you are catching up quick on the Mini.
    Salado TX & 30A  FL: Egg Family: 3 Large and a very well used Mini, added a Mini Max when they came out (I'm good for now). Plus a couple Pit Boss Pellet Smokers.

    Naw.  Not the mini.
    Do it on the vertical . . . with hooks.

    If anyone can do it . . .

    You may not believe this but I actually toyed with the idea of hanging it with meat hooks or jet net. Then I said no it's going on the mini one way or the other. I'm trying to one up brother Mickey on the mini !! ;)

    Do you use the standard lump grate or did you up grade to the high q on the mini?

    At some ones suggestion earlier I went with a 50/50 mix of blues hog. It is excellent mixed to say the least. Thanks for the tip.image

    No. Mickey sells them for $299 + tax at the Salado Eggfest. With a nest and lump me thinks. I'm picking one up at Salado, along with an XL for my FIL.

    Not sure what they retail for, but it's prolly in the 350-400 range. $300 new is a great deal.
    Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....
