    And while there's not enough Tylenol in the world to completely hold off the headache that comes with a kids' party, you can reduce the consequences with a couple of XS Tylenol...

    Looks great @DMW - nice tan and no lines.  Given the 20 hour smoke about how many lbs of charcoal did you have to add after the initial fill?  
    You obviously have the process dialed in- about how many of these cooks a year on your rig?
    Related to all the ??-in my looking for a smoker, Meadow Creek has been recommended as one to give a hard look.  
    Edit:  I know your rig is a PR and a different animal than their smokers.
    BTW- no hurry on any response.  Enjoy several Woodfords and later works as I'm not under any time-line.
    In advance, thanks-

    Green Chile; my turn!
     

     

     
    Ah, the house smells wonderful!!  Got another bushel, 38 bags in the freezer, 5 or 6 chiles per bag.  I also (personal tradition) made a pot of green chile stew, who cares if its 90 F outside?  
    I asked where this chile was from, and it's from west Weber County, locally-grown!  Will be interested to try it plain and see if I can taste a difference versus Hatch chile (without a side-by-side, I doubt it).
    Chiles have a point where they're perfectly roasted, the skins slide off easily in one piece and the flesh is perfect.  If they're under-roasted, the skin is a bear to get off, fortunately I've only experienced that once.  If they're over-roasted, the blackened skin comes off in tiny pieces, although easily.  This batch was slightly over-roasted, but it surprised me how firm and solid the flesh still was; then it hit me, since they were picked this morning (or so I was told) they were so much fresher than Hatch chiles taking a two-day semi-truck ride up the Interstate (they were perfect-looking, going into the roaster).  It will be very easy to make Chile Rellenos with these, often the flesh is so soft they fall apart before frying.  
    They tasted great in the stew; good heat (runny nose, forehead glistening, endorphins rushing) but I'll be able to taste the chile alone better tomorrow morning with huevos rancheros.  
    Happy happy!

    Looks great @DMW - nice tan and no lines.  Given the 20 hour smoke about how many lbs of charcoal did you have to add after the initial fill? Didn't have to add at all. Started with 100lbs of Royal Oak Chef's Select briquettes and a decent about of oak for smoke.
     
    You obviously have the process dialed in- about how many of these cooks a year on your rig? - This was my 3rd this year, don't have any others planned as of yet.

    Related to all the ??-in my looking for a smoker, Meadow Creek has been recommended as one to give a hard look.  - The Meadow Creek TS series are quality reverse flow offset smokers, definitely take a look. I'd really like a TS250, but currently lack the real estate to store it as well as CFO approved budget.
     
    Edit:  I know your rig is a PR and a different animal than their smokers. - Considerably different. The PR runs like an inefficient egg. Fire below, heat deflector in between fire and food. The TS is a true indirect stick burner you can also fire with charcoal if you want.

    BTW- no hurry on any response.  Enjoy several Woodfords and later works as I'm not under any time-line. - Woodford is being consumed, but at a reasonable rate, currently....

    In advance, thanks- Any time. I have spent quite a bit of time at Meadow Creek admiring all of their lineup, including the TS offsets and BX vertical units.

    @DMW - many thanks for your insights.  Your observations and comments have always been dead-on and much appreciated.  Just more smoker information overload now.  Now back to our regularly scheduled Woodford programming.

    Dang @DMW -  you run in an entirely much more rarified atmosphere if you even have a sniff of the TS 250.  I wish you every success with the annual budget review and trying to get that one thru the finance committee (SWMBO). Sweet rig for sure.
    Well outside my league (even the TS 70) but somehow I have the feeling you will pull it off at some point.  Gotta be an intoxicating visit to their operation.  Thanks again.

    Yeah, the TS250 is probably more than I really need to look at. A TS120 would probably be more than enough. My dream trailer would include a TS250, PR72 (could get by with a 60 if space was an issue), and a BBQ42.
