Trips to Costco are always fun. I always get (as I'm sure other brethren do) comments. If it's a brisket--"what do you do with a big hunk of meat like that?" or bunches of ribs "what time do I show up to your place?"
Today, I was making my way out with 12 racks of ribs that I'm doing for the graduation party of a friend's daughter. To my right, a woman makes some comment similar to above. To my left is the guy selling what I think was a pellet grill (Maybe Traeger, I didn't really look.) I don't think he was one of their top sales guys. He looked at my ribs and said
"You got one of these at home?"
Me: No, I have a stick burner.
Salesguy: (looking confused) "I don't know what that is."
Me: An offset smoker.
Salesguy: (Still looking confused) "Huh?"
Me: It burns wood....
You know, like Hickory and such.
(Still confused look)
An old fashioned smoker.
Salesguy: "Oh, get one of these, it's easier"
Me: Yeah, I know, I just like playing with fire. Thanks.
