Thank you all for the responses...
I had looked at the Bandera(via web pictures) and the firebox,
appeard like it would be an easy use as a grill, when not smoking that
is. 8 )
I would love to be educated by Mathew Martin (hes the one with the
charcoal website yes?) on how to prperly load my Silver Smoker to
ensure all get eats. Know of any homemade Mathew Martin Lures?
What I am thinking I will just do for my grilling needs is make the
final call Lump or Gas... If going coal I will probly go with the
weber One Touch Silver 22-1/2 in. (the gold dosent appear to be sold
at any of the stores I have seen.) Is the price difference worth it
between teh silver and gold? The only difference I see is one has a
ash pan, and the other looks like an ash bucket.
And if gas... it will probly be one of those cheapo's for sub 150.00
and make a goal to save up for a biger purchase... (man those weber
look sweet.... but I dont have the 350 plus to buy one at this
juncture.)
Thanks again, all of you, for your time and insight.
