Well, not to worry; my pan was empty long before people went back for
thirds, and
no one, not a person, opened that bottle of KC Masterpiece. The pan
of kalua pua'a
was tasty, but had plenty left.

Talk about feeling good - I took home an empty pan and an unopened
bottle
of sauce.

Good on ya Dana. I always marvel at how good I feel watching folks
inhale my hard earned money. The crowd I feed most often though are
all hard boiled sauce devotees. They use whatever food is at hand
merely as a vehicle to inhale whatever sauce is available. They like
good "Q" and they even like good sauce, but when push comes to
shove they'll eat all the sauce available. Oh, they eat all of the food
too, but they sure like that sauce.

My oldest, she thinks of french fries as an excuse to eat ketchup.
My youngest, she thinks of chicken nuggets as an excuse to eat
ranch dressing and KC Masterpiece.
You can't tell kids a damn thing sometimes.

On the other hand, I suspect I had the best deal on food
for that potluck; I brought way more meat than I needed to,
for a total cost of *maybe* $12 and scant little time preparing
it.

Speaking of time, you ever notice how some people take a
perverse pleasure in making good Q look difficult? Marinating,
rubbing, wrapping, mopping, sopping, turning, watching the
temperature like a hawk, etc.

I applied the rub, fired the cooker up, put the meat in, and
started the DigiQ. I didn't see that meat again, didn't lift the
cover, until I took it out and pulled it and served it.

Glad you're happy with your WSM. I'm still cruising along with my
NB Silver and have no desire to change.

I'll always have a soft spot for my Silver; I learned a lot with that
cooker.
