Darn you're probably right. Guess I'll have to apologize. Showed my
ignorance there.. Missed the tongue in cheek tone of voice.

Good points. Never did find a "great" brisket or "outstanding" sausage
in Alabama, Georgia and north of there but they sure had a lot of really
great ribs and excellent pork.

Can't wait to get back home. Haven't had access to my pits in months,
actually almost 5 months! Been invited out to Qs but just ain't the same
eating someone else's.

And the first meat on the pit WILL be beef!!
