    I looked at those, but looks like way overkill. The C/B door seals it well enough for me.

    Ha! Extract.

    It looks far superior in design to the PBC and I can tell from the pictures that it's well built. My guess is that the chimney versus the tiny rebar holes on the PBC means better flow and less contact time with the "fog." In any event, great looking brisket. My WSM is far from stock. It has benefited from the Cajun Bandit door, a gasket where the center section meets the lid, an Arbor Fabricating charcoal basket that will hold 30 lbs of charcoal, and a BBQ Guru controller. The last bit of kit is a great add on, but I did fine for years holding temps be closing off two vents and closing off the third to the width of a pencil (I actually had a pencil in my BBQ box that I used to accomplish the feat of engineering). I also put a notch at the top of the center section with a grinder to make running probes easier versus the probe port (so there's a little leak there but nothing to write home about).

    PBC pitches it like it's a feature and even has a name for it, "Smoke Fog." It was my first cooker. So I didn't really notice it as an unpleasant flavor until I got the WSM, cooked on it for a while, then went back to the PBC for a cook for old time's sake. Definitely not a pleasant flavor on long cooks. Ribs and chicken seem fine. Hamburgers can be quite good on it. But Brisket and Butts don't taste great. Frankly, everything is better on the WSM and chicken is better on a kettle.

    I think you could wrap it in foil. But since it's flat, you likely would have run off. Whether that gets in the coal basket is anyone's guess. Plus, these aren't exactly cheap compared to a WSM (hard to get a read on capacity on the ones I've looked at). So I'm curious as to what the advantage is. You definitely can buy hanger attachments for the WSM if that's something you want to try. I'm not saying it's not a good cooker, because I don't know. But my experience with a barrel cooker versus the WSM has pushed me firmly into the WSM camp.

    That seems like it will have the same flavor issues I get from my old PBC with the grease dripping on the charcol through the perforated diffuser plate on the OKJoe Barrel Cooker. Did you notice any distinct taste difference?

    They can ask. But it almost certainly would fail under the invited error doctrine. If he went off topic, they could object to a nonresponsive answer and request an instruction to disregard. If that instruction were granted, they could request a mistrial, but he hasn't said anything so bad that it would render a hypothetical instruction to disregard ineffective.

    He's got more cookers than I could shake a stick at. I think he just got this one to play with. I've seen people throw chicken on for the burn in, but I burned a bag with some Pam sprayed all over everything before I cooked. I use nested clay pots in my foiled water pan. Water evaporates over long cooks and I don't want to have a heat sink that's a moving target. I've seen him use sand before, but he's mostly a water guy. I wrap butts, but I played around with not wrapping brisket for a time. I'm back to wrapping brisket. I never wrap ribs. I don't know what to say about the flamingos. I guess if I had a BBQ Youtube channel with lots of subs, I'd play around with a bunch of cookers too. But for me, a 22.5" Kettle and a 22.5" WSM cover the bases. The PBC that got me going now lives at the lake and the long-smoked stuff tastes funny by comparison.

    It's bad enough to get thrown under the bus, but can you imagine waiting line for the mere opportunity to get thrown under the bus? "Oh, please, sir. Pick me. I'm ever so pathetic."

    I'm not sure I believe Eric is glaring at Cohen. I think that's just his resting face.

    oof. Edit: @YGIFS /Lobo, this is a succinct response. I don't mind setting into a good post, but just a note to say, you know, sometimes, brevity.

    The more blatant the fuckery gets, the more concerned I become. And, uh, lately, it's getting a bit blatant.

    As I mentioned before, while it may not be relevant in a technical sense, do we really want to be talking about an NDA about nothing? In the end, the question of its relevance has been waived by the defense and any harm on its admission is a non issue because the defense repeatedly brought up the veracity of her testimony on the question of whether they had sex.

    According to her testimony, she laid their, wordless, and felt as if she blacked out. The implication that he appears to have taken no notice of this, speaks volume to what he apparently is accustomed to in such a scenario.
