Haha, I am glad I didn't get that cowboy stuff today. For some reason Rancher's select or
Rancher's choice or whatever slipped out of my mind,and besides I was at Lowe's anyway.
But I looked at that stuff, and thought, no, you HAVE coal for now. But I did pick up a
cheap smoker to replace my old dinosaur. I picked up one from a friend who's apartment
mgmt told him it needed to be gone from the pool area or it would be tossed in a dumpster.
I smoked with it all last year. The bottom is near rusted out, and I couldn't move the vents
anymore, they were so greased in and rusted out that the tabs almost tore off...So I got this device.
I am good enough to not need the best quipment to get the best results.

But for about
half of what I was prepared to pay, I will do fine with this.
I remember my Mom used to bring home those Country style ribs back when I leved with
her after my Dad died. I only ever grilled them. I might have to check on smoking some
next time they go onsale.
As for coal, I tend to use Kingsford lump or another highend lump. OR I just burn whatever tree
I have cut down lately or on my lunch hour I tend to cruise the streets looking for woodpiles
out by the street.
