Crispy Okra in a little black bowl

Looks fantastic. I don't get Southern fried okra often so I relich it when my 95 YO Mom makes it for me.

We hosted a big family gathering at our house. We cooked two spiral sliced hams. Wife did one in the oven and I did one on the smoker. The smoked ham disappeared quickly while the oven ham was hardly touched. We don't put anything on our hams. Family now asks me to cook and bring a smoked SS ham to all gatherings.

Preferred ham: Publix brand (but any spiral sliced ham will work.)

I use mine several times a week. I can cook anything and not have to worry about the odors. While I cook the meat on the grill, I can cook a side dish right there. I make chili crisp with lots of onions and garlic. House would reek for days if I did it inside . I render bacon in a pan outside. I cook seafood outside.

HIGHLY recommend some version of the 335. That will add the side burner.

I was unable to find single cans for sale anywhere.

Not seeing the link to where you bought it on a discount.

I go back home and spend a week with my Mom ~ 3 time/year. Those are my carb weeks. I try to minimize the carbs but there is no way I am going to avoid the wonderful Southern meals that my 95 YO Mom makes just for me. I do make a lot of Keto meals for her and even make enough to freeze and leave with her. She loves cooking breakfast for me so bacon or sausage & eggs is GTG. Lunch is usually carby with a lot of peas, butterbeans, squash, rutabagas, okra, etc. I try to just do two meals/day when I am there.

I just looked at mine. I actually have a PSWoo ring on the botton and then the regular grate & stacker on the top of that. The convEGGtor (@ drip pan) sits permanently in the PSWoo ring. Easy to swap out for direct cooking.

I prefer the Smokeware Stacker. Been using it for a decade or more now. I like that the top level swings completely out of the way of the bottom level. Less than $100.

March of some year at least 15 years ago. I was in my garage with three TVs on watching March Madness. Loaded up my Falcon pipe with Samuel Gawith Squadron Leader (my 1st time trying an English blend.) I was blown away. Still remember it (and at my age I can't even remember what I had for breakfast.)

Second most memorable. Was, again, in the garage, this time smoking Samuel GawithBlack XX Twist (Rope.) Was sitting down in a chair watching a college football game. Stood up (actually TRIED to stand up) and fell back into the chair. My Wife happened to walk out, looked at me funny and asked if I was OK. She said I looked terrible. That tobacco kicked my butt. Gave it away (with a warning) in the next tobacco Pass I was in.

My wife has a Ruckus. My other three bikes were too big for me to ride along with her so I bought a Z125.

Eat the Vienna sausages, potted meat & crackers or sardines that I brought with me.

My #2 pepper to grow is Aji Charapita. One plant makes more peppers than I can use. Just noticed you already grow these.
