Full Fledged Farker
I moved and have no place to keep my 6 foot x 24 inch comp pit and trailer. The old house had a large covered area at side of house where I cooked and stored pit.
New house (we downsized) has a 12x12 back yard covered patio area can't pull pit back there. ugh. Don't want it in the garage all the time either.
I thought about getting a vertical pit like stumps or Backwoods unit for the space savings.
Problem is I really know horizontal stick burners. I like smoke flavor and good dark bark. Been cooking on horizonals for 30 years now Heck I have a small weber kettle on the comp trailer I only use to cook lunch and glaze my chickens I burn down logs and load it with the coals.
I am just afraid that if I got a vertical of some sorts I would not like the finished product...as well. I do like the idea of 8-10 hour cooks instead of feeding logs all night.
Question is do you think and old dog can learn new tricks.
