Could be Fred Smoot. If memory serves me right he was the organizer of the party boat. When the Vikings signed him the quote I remember was that he said "water covers 2/3rds of the planet and I cover the rest" Priceless.

Haven't used that brand but had something similar and it's very hard to control the temperature. I have found that temp control over a long period of time is key to getting good consistent results. Nothing worse than starting a big brisket, going to bed and wake up to a smoker 100 degrees +...

I bought me a Green Mountain pellet grill and will never go back to gas or charcoal again. The controller is able to keep the temperature wherever you set it in increments of 5 degrees. Cooks with indirect heat so it's very hard to burn anything and I haven't made anyhting on it that I haven't...

I too like to go in with my dog after the big group has been through. Nothing better than having the big group standing around their trucks watching while I shoot a limit over solid points:) One year in SD I was starting into a big public field bordered by picked corn when a large group...

Very nice........... and the buck is also a good one:) Sorry couldn't resist.
