    Best go to the eye doc for antibiotic drops and Lowes for safety glasses.

    Either lucky or unlucky, I am glad you missed the seeing bits of your eye.  That was very close.

    I would rather light a candle than curse your darkness.

    just dug a red hot piece of stainless out of my eyeball, not as much blood as i would have thought. not much help with the pharmacy, told to get the cash register girl to help reading labels and find the eyewash





    Just the Halloween look you needed!  Glad it wasn't more serious!

  • Decided I’d line up some smoker pellets in foil and have them burn in the pumpkin along with the candles. 

    Hoping it’ll add some aesthetic ambience while creating a great smell.

    @fishlessman- Dang.  That coulda been a whole lot worse.  I echo the suggestion to get to an ophthalmologist as there is no need to push your luck.

    I am here to give credit to the five letter shipping company as it is the right thing to do in this case...Ordered a product from the UK Saturday afternoon.  Picked up on Monday AM in Birmingham, UK and delivered around 30 minutes ago.  Got it right and right quick.

    for whatever reason ive always had good deliveries when coming from the uk and china. better than just cross country. ups delivered a box here last weekend, stairs are 14 steps down, one step up to put it under a roof by the door in the rain. driver stopped one step short and left it in the rain......so close......

    Confirming that the effect is pretty good thus far. My only concern is that given the open airflow, I expect it’ll burn right quick.

    You could put a single little rotisserie chicken wing inside of the pumpkin.  Don't let that smoke and heat go to waste!

    unoriginalusername is quite creative and provides incredible insights into kamado cooking with his videos across the spectrum.
    Skilled productions and a big fan of F1 as a bonus. 
    Edit as he is an infrequent poster here.

    I like his videos a lot.  Sometimes serious, sometimes goofy, but almost always entertaining and some tips&tricks along the way.
