LOL. I still cook in a 55 gallon barrel. My daddy taught how to cook
on one 55 years ago and I've not changed. Yeppers, it's more work
than one of them fancy cookers and being drafty it uses a lot of fuel
but the taste, oh my gawd, is to die for.

I'll just stay a curmudgeon with my cooker and Q'in ways until I see
folks runnin from my house instead of to it when they smell my BBQ.
