  1. I don’t specifically have a dog in this fight, but I was at the game last night giving the LSU fans around me hell for making the game as unwatchable as the last 10 minutes of an NBA game. The two players down train wrecks were the most comical. On the second occurrence the player closest to the north end zone popped up to his knees when he saw the other player down then stayed on his knees when the trainers came out and said something to him. I don’t ever recall that kind of BS on an Orgeron USC defense.
  2. But that will be roughly two playoff appearances which is better than a Vegas Bowl or staying home with Helton.
  3. The Grillz? What did they say for lead time?
  4. For a brand new 36”. Think it’s worth saving $600 to drop 6” (that’s what she said) and add the stainless grates?
  5. That’s a good food I loved past tense. It always sucks now. I’ll probably say sushi. It’s really only good when it’s really, really good.
  6. https://houston.craigslist.org/for/d/houston-klose-bbq-smoker-20x30/6964990844.html This one just showed up on Craigslist. Not sure about $1200 but like the stainless double grates.
  7. I hate you. I’ve done 4 racks of ribs on my egg and was assuming I could do 2 racks of ribs, a brisket and some sausage all at one time on the 36” which would suit my needs well.
  8. Klose says they have the 20x36 in stock. Also an ultra sexy stainless one for three large. https://bbqpits.com/bbq-pits-in-stock/
  9. Ha, serious. I’ll take some tool hangers instead.
  10. I’m assuming you’re going to say get the Klose? Any thoughts on models and customization?
  11. Interesting, but I already have a Lynx gas grill on my patio and have discovered that I only used the BGE for smoking. No interest in any type of combo unit right now unless I cave and get a BGE XL which I already know exactly how to use.
  12. I haven’t had Booker’s Rye but I’ve had a couple dozen ryes and this one isn’t that special.
  13. Cracked a WT Cornerstone Rye last night and give it a solid 6/10. You don’t need this on your shelf for $169.
  14. Alright, I cracked the lid on my BGE and I’m ready to step up to an offset/stick burner after 8 years of practice with lump on the BGE. Does anybody have any advice or input on the following three options? Lonestar Grillz https://lonestargrillz.com/collections/smokers/products/20-x-42-offset-smoker Lyfe Tyme Inc - 20l 20”x40” single lid offset https://www.lyfetyme.com/pricing/ Klose - 20”x42” without 1/2” firebox http://bbqpits.net/ These are all $1600-$1900 and I’m not really looking to go over $2k. I’ve had a hardon for the idea of a Klose forever, but the LSG actually looks like a better design with plate construction giving a lot more real estate inside compared to pipe. I’m also not wanting to wait forever to find a used Klose because football and smoking season is a week away and I need something to distract me from how pitiful USC will be this year.
  15. There are some decoders online if you want to hammer out the date. I picked a handle of 80 proof AN Turkey from ‘09 last year but haven’t thought of a reason to open it.
  16. Yeah, I’ve got a 114.4 proof open and it’s really good. I bought them every time I found them for $40 or under and used one or two in trades. It’s nothing like an older MGP or Barton rye, most comparable to Handy in that it’s young and hot-ish but packed with rye spice and citrus. It crushes even 10+ year Alberta ryes as well.
  17. I have a couple 1910s just chilling. Also a Stagg Jr 11, EHT SiB, ECBP and some WFE 4 yr if any of that strikes your fancy for the RHF.
  18. I bought a dovetail because I found it for $74 and the salesman had just whipped out an EH Taylor SiB from the back room and I was feeling generous. It’s about 1/2 as good as Blood Oath Pact 5 which I’ve seen as low as $88. I have a 14 yr Barrell store pick from OLC that’s pretty solid, but overall there’s a lot out there better for the price.
  19. I’ll do Weller Special Reserve for something low proof or OF1920 for higher. Booker’s makes a great Manhattan too.
  20. If you have a problem I have about 1/2 of an open bottle problem.
  21. $56 at OLC when I grabbed one out of his 12 cases today. $50 cash at Spec’s Brodie later.
  22. Spec’s has had it for the same price previously. I have three different batches now but still looking for a 126.
  23. Old Fitz 9 BiB for sure. Just had a pour at Oasthouse tonight.
  24. Some ice? That’s all the ice. Elmer T Lee would be proud of that 60 proof pour.
