Nice price on the pork. Ive liked those Prairie Fresh butts that I've cooked. Making it real hard to resist getting a 26" kettle but the rotisserie on my redhead keeps me faithful.

Thanks Suds!
Took me a while to realize I need a 26'er. My first cook and I see a ton of potential. Loving it!
Love anything from Prairie Fresh. As far as roti goes, I'm happy with my JJ :biggrin1: She packs a punch.

somebody shut me the fark up.
Nice cooker and great job on the Carnitas Sako. I see a lot of Carnitas cooks but rarely see them done the traditional (correct) way, job well done.

Thanks brotha!
Was supposed to be brisket but you know what the deal was. Not complaining at all though.
Thanks Bill! My first carnitas cook. We shall see how it pans out.

A tad bit over?!?! Man, I’d like to see your definition of “perfect” ;-)
Gotta warranty it before I crush the enamel. :becky:
Thanks Robb! I'm a pain in the arse a little. :becky: But seriously a little less heat woulda helped I suppose. Not a bad problem to have though. :becky:
Thanks Josh! A tad bid of less heat would've helped. Learning the new pit aka kettle.

It happens, apparently even to the best. I kind of like mine on the done side. That rendered fat is where it is at. They can get a little to crispy though.
I have assigned frying duties, to my portable induction burner. Temp control is insane.

I’m in no way tKing up for anyone’s QC failures but I will say a 26 is a pretty handy tool. One you forgive and forget a little, you’ll really enjoy it. Have fun.

Nice!
I'm surprised on both of your kettles, you use the SNS directly under the top exhaust vent.
Is that only for indirect grilling, or do you run them the same when smoking?
Back 25+ yrs ago I had many problems with Weber kettles. No internet back then. No store help.
Since then I only buy the 14" smokey's to build mini wsm's for friends and family.

Those are some serious Taco's Neighbor!
Love how much more room there is in the 26" I would love to have one but am downsizing to move - sold two grill's already

Agree about the drip pan not being the right size for the 26. I found the same when I ordered the combo for mine too - it should fit right.
