how do you start your coal? i'm thinking of getting a heat gun (electric or propane).

chris, chris, chris...earlier, i talked about the joy of waking up real early and having those hours to yourself with a morning drink on the patio or back yard..why would you want to start a fire
in 12 seconds for something that needs to cook for more than 1/2 a day....throw a firestarter or 2 on there and light a match....listen to the quiet in the dark and have that morning pour of brown
by yourself..

Congrats, trag, by the way. I don’t know how you pulled it off but you seem to have been granted immunity by the durdencommatyler gender identification police.

It's nearly 7:30 in Texas and I have 45 minutes of daylight left. It's 85 degrees outside. Just the right amount of temp and time to grill a sunset corn cob and flank steak.

Slight delay. It stormed here all afternoon. I decided to wait until tomorrow. The brisket is trimmed and ready for tomorrow morning’s slather and rub.
Fish and chips tonight.
