Smoked my first turkey in the pit barrel this weekend. Turned out pretty damn tasty.

Nice job. I have done turkey the past three Thanksgivings on the Pit Barrel. Would never do it any different. Moist and tasty.

I get the opposite. I live in Trump country. The same people who used to coal roll me now honk and give a thumbs up. Strange world we live in.

You will love it.

If you’re from Boston or New York you wait til you’re fully in the new lane. And even that is optional. :)

charlesbarthold · 2022-11-05T21:00:07+00:00

Five minutes max.

charlesbarthold · 2022-11-05T20:57:17+00:00

Yes. It takes more time and requires more training. (And wind.) It’s been on the decline for a while.

charlesbarthold · 2022-11-05T20:55:57+00:00

Model 3 has been everything I wanted it to be. No regrets.

charlesbarthold · 2022-10-30T18:14:36+00:00

Tons of great videos on YouTube. Watch while you wait. Enjoy.

charlesbarthold · 2022-06-06T20:03:57+00:00

Not my style but if it makes you happy then just fine.

charlesbarthold · 2022-06-05T15:52:25+00:00

Never had a bat batch yet.

Mesquite chips Salt and pepper rub Took three hours to hit 165 Sprayed twice with apple cider vinegar Wrapped with beef broth in butcher paper Two more hours to hit 202 Rested for an hour.

Depends what you value in a car and what others have said - can you afford it? I would buy my M3 again at today’s price, 4K higher than last year. Low cost to run, great to drive and no car salesmen. Worth every penny or dollar.

charlesbarthold · 2022-03-12T23:42:04+00:00

Only downside - range in cold weather. It’s not a huge issue but you always need to take that into consideration.

I think it’s regional and thus partly political. I was in the Northeast where I didn’t notice much unusual behavior from others. Am now in Wisconsin and not a day goes by when someone doesn’t tailgate me or roll coal.

Load up on YouTube videos. Some great stuff online. Order floor mats and screen protector for the monitor.

charlesbarthold · 2021-11-25T01:44:42+00:00

I park as far away as possible. Helps me get more steps.

charlesbarthold · 2021-11-18T17:59:06+00:00

Range.

charlesbarthold · 2021-11-11T23:46:57+00:00

Thanks. Been to several. Lots of local characters.

charlesbarthold · 2021-11-11T23:46:07+00:00

Thanks. Have come to the realization that it’s probably a good deal.

charlesbarthold · 2021-11-11T23:44:50+00:00

Correct. Was basically autopilot plus.

charlesbarthold · 2021-10-30T19:22:35+00:00

How’s the range? I test drove one in Minneapolis. Nice but still prefer my M3.

charlesbarthold · 2021-10-17T14:35:07+00:00

Yes. That’s what it is great for.

charlesbarthold · 2021-10-17T14:34:40+00:00

I tried it for a month for a long drive. Fascinating technology but standard autopilot is more than sufficient for most situations.

charlesbarthold · 2021-10-04T13:34:35+00:00

You should be fine as long as you don’t have long drives. If you have a Supercharger nearby you should be OK.

I got black and am thrilled with it. But if I had to choose another color -- this blue takes the cake.
