    If you really want authentic, you ought to get into Francis Mallmann.  Or go the other way and get an automated pellet pooper.  It's all good.

    My thought is, you do you.

    I'd say it's cheating as much as your automatic transmission in your vehicle

    Flameboss on overnight Brisket, it's not the $45.00 Cotsco brisket price, it's cooking meat for 12+ hours and fuc%$ing it up... Smart BBQing, not cheating.....

    If you are not raising your own animals or hunting them, you are cheating.

    I light my fire by rubbing 2 sticks together to burn wood I chopped 12 months ago. Hauled the wood to the house in a horse drawn carriage that I built after mining the raw material to make steel and forging the hammer and nails used to hold the lumber together. While the pig I raised and slaughtered smokes in the smoke house, the Mrs. wants me to get the buckets I made and haul some water from the creek up to the house for her bath, but I just stopped in to say yer all a bunch of cheaters with your store bought cookers and your store bought lump, lighters, store bought tools, automobiles, running water from a faucet, electricity, bought clothes, shoes, and store bought groceries and meat. Quit cheating.

    Nope. It’s not cheating. And neither are training wheels on a bicycle. Or the lane bumpers at the bowling alley.
