Do you guys pay more since you drive so little with shorter distances? I remember being over in England and one of our friends who lives there said, "I hardly see my sister. She lives 20 miles away." I couldn't tell if she was serious or not at first. The one other time our British friends flew to the Twin Cities and were floored that we would come and pick them up at their hotel. (A 30 minute drive from our house) They pleaded that they could take a Taxi so we didn't have to drive that far. Which was hilarious.
It's 70 miles to the in-law's & takes 2 hours, nearly all motorway. That's a long journey by average standards.
Brits traditionally commute up to 30 minutes whether by foot, car or bike. That is distorted by London where most use public transport and 90 minutes by train(s) is more common.
The UK is a small, awkwardly shaped and difficult to navigate place. Straight roads, urban and rural are rare - apart from where @Eoin lives, which is essentially the English prairies.
Public transport is at best patchy and of course the fuel levy is an absolute cash cow for the Treasury.
My daily commute is 22 miles (one way), and takes 25 mins. Most Americans can't recall what happened 5yrs ago, especially re: politics/politicians.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

Made the expensive mistake last year of ordering a fabric couch online from a company called Article. Probably should have returned it after a couple weeks but it would have been a huge hassle and my hope was that it would wear in a bit and mellow out. Fast forward to a year later. The quality of the Article sofa is terrible. The supposed stain resistant fabric was a joke and the seats are made with cheap low density foam.So today I bit the bullet and decided to do what I should have done a year ago and bought a leather sofa.

I suppose it's challenging recalling history when you're pounded with "alternative" "news" in a media bubble.______________________________________________I love lamp..

Quick question - Looking to buy my neighbor either a 22" Blackstone or Kamado Joe Jr for Christmas. He has a despicable gasser, he uses all the time for burgers or chicken. He's retired and elderly. I can train him on how to use either devices.
Was going w only a blackstone but wondered if he would use it. I think he would definitely use the Kamado Joe Jr...
Which would y'all recommend? -
I'd go for he Kamado 100% over a griddle. You can add a griddle to a gasser or kamado and the Blackstone is a PITA to maintain.

Appreciate the input, agree w the PITA of the Blackstone. I like to use it but it's ugly as hell.
Long time lurker - appreciate the veteran input. -
i must be doing this wrong. with the bs i light it, scrape the griddle, put food on it. pretty much the same with the egg. how elderly is the neighbor, does he show interest in kamado cooking, is he willing to learn how to cook in a kamado. i actually dont like cooking burgers in the egg, they go on the gasser or blackstone, especially if theres more than two. i dont like the greasy smoke absorbing into the burger when cooking lots of burgers

@fishlessman - you are right - it's fairly straight forward. The BS has not held up well here in South Alabama. The humidity and salt air make it look terrible. He's shown more interest in charcoal cooking (had a weber previously) then he's had w griddling.
@WeberWho - I just bought that deal, $229 hard to beat. They have they have the 22" BS in Gray w Cover for $174.
Now I need to figure out how to order another Joe Jr for my backyard.

also you can't smoke on a griddle but you can griddle on a smoker

coming from a weber kettle he should find the ceramic much easier to use and 229 is a good price

@lkapigian - Regarding that brisket-I am interested in the actual size. Several months ago my sister (who has not sent me anything in five years-I do send b'day and Xmas gifts) out of the clear blue sent me a SRF black grade brisket. Clearly the only weight range they had in stock when this light bulb went on was the heavyweights. Turned out it arrived and is listed at 24.9 lbs. F'me. Never seen one close to that size before.
It will be a late spring cook on the stick burner-too much to wrestle with in the chill of winter.Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period. -

They just put these in our gym at work. I was really impressed with the couple of days I spent with them. My taint took a beating though so I went back to jogging.South of Nashville - BGE XL - Alfresco 42" ALXE - Alfresco Versa Burner - Sunbeam Microwave -

Thanks @lkapigian. Unless you are doing the "change the water frequently" or some other magic there is no way that will thaw by Sunday as you well know. But just get the surface thawed enough for the rub and it falls into the frozen protein cook process.
You must have a huge group you are cooking that for. Whomever is gonna be eating extremely well. Have fun with that one. Which rig gets the assignment?Louisville; Rolling smoke in the neighbourhood. # 38 for the win. Life is too short for light/lite beer! Seems I'm livin in a transitional period.
