Hope you had a wonderful Fathers Day! Very nice FD gift from the kid(s)! Wonder if they knew that in less than 24 hours the very thing they gifted to dad would be used as an instrument to “laugh” at and mock others ways, methods and tools? Kind of a sad way to put such a nice gift from the kids to use
Seems that since you’ve arrived here at the Brethren, your overarching message has been “the right tool for the job!” We get it and I don’t think anyone here disagrees with you. That said, and when I say this, I highly doubt that I am the only one thinking it... but the way you deliver your thoughts/opinions is antagonistic, abrasive, argumentative and definitely not in Brethren style.
I would never say this to you outside the context of this thread, but having been a big time Kamado Joe guy up until a couple of years ago (2 Big JOE’s, 1 Classic and a Joe Jr.) I feel that I can honestly say that ceramics are really good all-around cookers, but not great at any one thing. I can produce WAY better sears with my Weber/SnS than I ever could on my KJ’s and its soooo much easier on numerous levels. Because you continue to stand on your soapbox preaching your “best tool for the job” mantra I can’t help but wonder why you use your KJ’s to sear steaks vs something like the Beefer? Just curious as there are definitely “better tools”...
