somebody shut me the fark up.
On the positive side you have so many options to produce the Que you love.
A lot of work but the payoff is totally worth it and it's FUN. Best bbq for me is off the stick burner so I'll always have one in the mix. With that said, my stick burner season is fall through spring. I don't like tending the fire during those hot arse summer months so I use my other cookers. Like mentioned above though, it's not for everyone. Good luck!
I only use a Stickburner at The Texas Bashes, rest of time I use my Masterbuilt Electric.......
yes sir!Cooking should be enjoyable, so do what you gotta do!
At least you didn't spend a lot of money on the Pecos.
Somebody better get the word out to all those BBQ joints that are doing it wrong. :boxing:
Just kidding. Have to applaud you just a little bit for not being afraid of the backlash. Hopefully you have a good sense of humor.

I sold mine too. My reasons were No skills or patience. A beer or two every 30-45 minutes matching sticks wasn’t healthy
I’m going back to stick burning. I’ve been through them all and still have the drums and the egg. I can understand where you are. I’ve been there. I still am in certain situations. Looking forward to getting another stick burner now.

Exactly my feelings. I started out with a Backwoods Party (still have) then a Fatboy, then a Pro Jr. One day I tasted some que that was cooked on a Gator and mine eyes were opened lol. Significantly better than what I had been cooking. :thumb:
You just joined the Thoey63 Club - now sell the stickburner and buy an LSG IVC.
You have presented your case well.
Imo cooking is supposed to be relaxing and enjoyable.
Yep. In fact it's even easier to do Ribs in the crockpot and brisket in the oven. No added benefit to have to even go outside. Little liquid smoke and you're good to go.
Don't know why it took me so long to see the truth!!
:tongue:
MODS, PLEASE BAN THE OP!!!
Actually, I'm kidding, a UDS is what I use, set it and forget it.
So what are you going to do with your Pecos?
Stick Burners aren't for everyone.
You can no longer fly the Texas flag at your place.
Nothing ruins one's desire to cook with a stick burner like a COS. The truth is, it's not for everyone. Most of my friends think I am crazy to get it up in the middle of the night to tend to a fire. That is until they eat the food. What they don't understand is that I find enjoyment in the process but even I don't want to do it all of the time which is why I own a BGE. Both tools produce great BBQ but I take a lot of satisfaction in being able to cook with a wood fire. My best BBQ comes off of the stick burner according to everyone who eats it.

First came the Big Green Egg. I was mad everyday that I had to goto work and not cook on the Egg. Then came the Lang, 8 cooks so far, still not 100% it's for me. Like it was said, you have to micromanage the sticks and temps. On the Egg, set it and walk away. Then the stick burner does give you the excuse that I can't do any house chores :-D
I think the reason why I never fell into the phase of not liking my stick burner because I learned to not sweat the small stuff from the start. I cook at a temp range. If it’s too hot it’ll be done quicker too cool it’ll take longer. I let it do it’s thing and that’s what I enjoy. Don’t get me wrong...losing sleep sucks. But it’s what I enjoy and that’s why I do it.
Different strokes...
If everyone liked stick burners there’d be no other type of cookers sold.
I love cooking on my stick burner. I love the early mornings getting my fire started and sipping a cup of good coffee while the sun comes up. I love tending the fire and the smell of thin blue hickory smoke.
3rd group: those who prefer stick burning but need the convenience of charcoal when time doesn't permit.i see two classes of brethren- those who like the process, and those who just like the food.
Im in the latter group- plus with young kids there is just not enough time to enjoy the process.

4th group: those who just like to cook on anything.
