Swine-Enshrined
Found some matches.
Greetings folks! New member here...
I am fairly new to this hobby and it is 100% Covid related. Thought you might appreciate the short story.
In April 2020 I get a hankering for a good steak right?
(Of course every steakhouse here in ATL is closed for Covid). All I have to work with is a rusted out old gas grill that is a total fire hazard. So as im driving home from work this same week, I see a guy rolling out some kind of kettle grill to the curb. I immediately turn around. “Dude, Whatcha got there?” It’s was a Weber 22” Kettle in excellent condition. He was making room for some new overpriced stainless contraption that will only last 2 years anyway. Needless to say I took it home.
Turns out, this Weber was infected with some kind of virus as well, but it wasn’t Covid :wink:. I’ve cooked and smoked everything on this kettle from Hotdogs to the Thanksgiving Turkey. So… for me, something good actually resulted from Covid-19
But I want more ! :grin:
I have been trolling this site quite a bit over the last few months…and I’ve made my decision.
I've considered an off-set…
I've considered a pellet cooker…
I've considered a WSM…
I've even considered one of those big money porcelain toilet jobs…
However, nothing looks like more fun to me than building my own.
Yessir…an Ugly Drum Smoker.
In doing so I figure I’ll also learn more about the “science” of cooking BBQ than I ever would with these others.
I was gonna start a build thread here, but I may be better served by posting it in that monster UDS thread that is already going …or both maybe?? I dunno…Any suggestions appreciated.
