You just miss having someone else cook it.

Flat bird cooks much better, more even.

Bonus to both is shorter overall cook time.

I have had the occasional spam recently but mostly been living off of lunch meat.

In all seriousness, the wife and I aren?t big into cooking anything or even eating at home much. We usually eat out for the majority of our meals. Not really having that option recently we have been forced to find a way to get by.

I have been wanting to get a smoker for a while but have been procrastinating. Maybe I should see if I can pick one up now and start smoking some stuff.

After the lock down, half the people will be great cooks, the other half will have a drinking problem.

Outside some great prices. The issue is the wood, or pellets. They've become sparse, like ammo. Wonder if there's a correlation between them.
If you do buy one, make sure there's at least 4 bags of pellets on hand.

Can't go wrong with apple & hickory.

I havent seen even the slightest shrotage of big 33lb traeger brand pellets at Costco im sure lowes and home depot have plenty as well. While they could become scarce in the right circumstances theyre cheap enough that it would be easy to stock up on big bags, by the way pit boss pellets come in a 40lb bag and are cheaper per bag than the 33lb traeger bags I might try them next.

As for the last thing i put in my electric smoker.... About 2000 pieces of washed 223 brass to dry them hahaha

Can?t a person be both?

I did the lump charcoal and wood chunk thing pre-Kamado, but I never did it as much as I have with a pellet grill. It's just so darned convenient and easy. Besides, it's electricity plus fire plus meat. What's not for a guy to like?

Oh, and you can drink while doing it. <---multi-tasking

I like the pellets that Sam's has. Low ash, and taste good. I think they were $14/bag. Not sure if my Traeger pellets are just old or what, but they seem to produce more ash.
