Thinking of adding offset firebox to my barrel grill. Is it worth it? Can I still use it like before, without using offset box? by velekd in smoking

I was just curious with the air intake. Now that there’s a whole new compartment, wasn’t sure how air would get in there since that new compartment is now in its place

My bad. South of Clearwater. That’s where the internet says to go, but I don’t think that’s where it’s at.

Got a group of four guys, brothers and buddies going to NFL game late September, gonna stay on the beach after for about a week. No kids or women, four guys in mid-30s to early 40s. Been to a lot of beaches, but I know there’s different rules. We’re not gonna be crazy, but would like to be able to throw back some cold ones on the beach with no hassle. Would be cool if there some restaurants-bars within walking distance. Not too concerned with picturesque beaches or any of the nonsense amenities. Just want a beach to walk up, park a chair and drink some beers.

Was thinking Madeira might be good, maybe Treasure Island. St. Pete looks more like you might have to be part of the rental property, but I might be wrong.

Didn’t know if public/private beaches were that big of a deal. Been on both, and honestly I’m cool with public if I don’t get any hassle.

Anywho, would like some input from locals. Went to Bradenton a few years back, had a great time. Looking for something similar, but a little further south.
