mini question

Yes you can. The mini will make any thing. I use to be very fit, when I was 40 I was 245 pounds of ripped muscle. I worked out 2 hours a day 4 times a week. To build the massive frame I had at the time, I took 6 cc's of injectable Testosterone Cypionate a week, 40mg of Dianabol a day along with 3 cc's of both Deca Durabolin and Equipose a week. My steroid habit approached 500 dollars a week. My point? Just because someone looks fit or is muscled up doesn't directly mean that they are healthy. When I looked like Arnold Swatrzaneeger I was anything but healthy. Yeah the ladies loved me back then, but I'm partially paralyzed today because of my pursuit of a perfect build. I'm much happier today consuming bbq and seafood than I ever was living off of performance enhancing drugs and lifting massive weights I assure you my friend.

No I cant. I'm to old, short and partcially paralyzed. But I can still dead lift a little over a quarter of a ton to this day. Not bad for a old crippled up man. How about you young man? Can you pull a quarter of a ton from a cold pull?

It's Friday errrrrybody, I'm just playing.

It's becoming pretty clear to me that at some point, I'm going to have to have an eating contest with @SGH and play @Eggcelsior 1-on-1 in basketball... with any luck I'll do both of them on the same day.  Even if I lose at both of them it'll be a fun day all around, especially if the day ends with a PBR drinking contest with @henapple which I will undoubtedly lose, but enjoy nonetheless.

I enjoy gluttony like SGH but also enjoy fitness.  2 dozen Krispy Kreme glazed doughnuts is just a start for me.  Small meals just piss me off.  So, I often skip meals as I find that much preferable to eating a small meal.  And I work out and run to stay fit.

So - getting to the point of this thread - there is no mini BGE in my future.

The mini is how I stay fit. Carry it 5 miles, grill, 5 miles, grill. I need to trademark this.

@Foghorn‌ is 7' tall and pretty sure he is Richard Sturbin of the Oak Ridge Boys.

Does he have a jumper?

He wears a onesie.

Henapple wears a bacon onesie.

@SGH, my best effort ever was 36 slices of pizza - about half of them were the thick slices... But I lost that bet to a friend half my size who ate only thin slices and finished off 37, so I had to buy dinner for both of us at the $3.99 pizza buffet.
I've also been refused service at Sonny's BBQ on Sunday "all you can eat BBQ chicken" night after going there 3 Sundays in a row. So, I'm no slouch, but that was many years ago. At this point I'm pretty sure you'll out eat me, but we'll both have a grand time in the process. A steak or 10 sounds perfect.

I did a 5 pound shoulder at 225F dome for 8 hours and still had about two cups of lump left.

That sounds like the @Eggcelsior workout for Crossfit.  They are always naming their workouts.

The @henapple workout is similar but involves a cooler full of PBR and only covers a distance from the refrigerator to the back yard.

I don't carry mine around any more.  I use a hand truck.   

@Foghorn‌
Brother Fog, let me say that 36 slices of pizza is pretty good indeed. I'm not sure what is the most pizza that I ever ate is because I usually do not gorge on pizza due to the amount of bread. However, that being said, not to long ago I went on my grand daughters first grade field trip. For amusement for the children I ate 17 Big Mac's and drank 6 vanilla super size shakes. I could have ate 2 or 3 more but time did not permit. Where I can really show out and eat truly large capacities is seafood. I can eat 20 dozen oysters as a warm up for the main course. Easily. Only a few weeks back I posted a decent size meal that I put down. Nothing real large but not to bad either. I had a steak, 8 dozen oysters, 3 red fish, a side of bbq shrimp and for good measure another side of bbq shrimp with fries and hush puppy's. Not a world record but more than 3 average men would eat combined. And I honesty wasn't even hungry when I put that down. Was just bored. Also a couple of weeks back I met Nola for oysters at OceanA. Not sure of the actual number consumed, but my oyster bill was 280 bucks. I would guess around 20 dozen or so. I would have ate far more but my wife got angry and said that I was embarrassing her so I stopped. We really should get together and raid Dragos or OceanA my friend. I would love to see the look on the waiters face when we said: Bring us 50 dozen oysters for a appetizer. That would be awesome my friend.

@SGH and @Foghorn‌, I was laughing so hard because you guys reminded me about a buddy from college. We shared an apartment and took turns cooking. Growing up, my parents always cook extra so no one's hungry. We always had leftovers. But this one guy, Barry was a HUGE eater. It became a silent contest of sorts, I cooked more and more and he'll finish everything! No leftovers! Our 3rd roommate could sense tension brewing.

Finally after a few months, I made enough food for 10 easily. And when he couldn't finish everything he apologized for not finishing everything!?! That he tried really hard and it was good...

Turns out, he was raised not to waste food, not finishing meant you didn't like it. For me, if there weren't leftovers, you're not being hospitable... We had a big laugh about it. Portion size got back to normal after that.

@henapple‌, my kub isn't a mini, but, it does come up to temp really fast. Since I steal used lumps from the other cookers, I don't have to wait for the smoke to change color! This made it possible for weekday cooks!!!!

I've been tempted to fry on the egg, but when it comes down to it, I think this works better for me.
