Can't hold off any longer in SoCal

[Gizmo]

Thanks everyone, for the welcome and invites! (be careful what you ask for!!) ;D

I'm still reading up on all the ins-and-outs of using a BS. I myself am new to smoking in general, so I've got a bit of a learning curve ahead of me. It doesn't help that I ate a TON of Chez Bubba food from Jim and Kirk over the years at the Indy 500. Their pulled pork alone is what made be buy a BS....now I have to try and recreate their magic! (I have assurances from Kirk that he'll help...let's see if he's as good as his word!)

I've got the OBS on the way, a sample pack of bisquettes, a cover (although I see now I should have gotten the larger cover), a set of 3 Bubba Pucks....all I need is a good digital thermometer and I'll be good to go. Any suggestions on a thermometer?

Happy Memorial Day Weekend, ya'll!!

You have some great mentors there that is for sure.  I am sure you will do them proud.  We will definitely have to get another SOCAL Smoke going.

The OBS arrived this morning (I didn't know FedEx delivered on Saturdays!?!?) It is now set up and seasoning. Later today, I'll hunt down the ingredients for a good rub, grab a butt, and start my first attempt.

I'm awaiting my neighbors head peeking over the fence like in 'Home Improvement' asking "Hey, what smells so good?"  ;D
