I know one thing....no circus will have the great smoked food your guys make.

[bears fan]

Smoked circus peanuts.....mmmmmm.

You have no idea!

No I don't, but I can well imagine. My dad and his best pal from school were a real pair when they were together.

What you guys tenting anyway? A whole Bison? :D

It's for sun/rain relief (when smoking pig parts/partying) in the back yard...

I've been through several cheapie canopies (that weren't really all that cheap).
Probably spent about $500 in the last 3 years --- and got NOTHING to show for it.
(they're all twisted crap in the dump now)

Barring a direct tornado hit, this one should last many years.
It's really well made - by folks that have been making tents for 136 years.

(they must be doing something right!)
This model is a WHOPPING $2,200 new...
SLIGHTLY USED for $800?  Sold.

Funny thing is (this blew my mind!) --- I told the guy what I was gonna do under it he said, "OOHHHH NO... You'll get it all black, sticky, and messed up"...
I said, "I'm not gonna run a stick burner under it -- just a Stump's..."
And he knew what that was!  "Ohh.. You'll be fine!"
Then I told him I might run a Bradley and some pellet poopers too...
"No problem!"  (He knew what ALL that was!)
I've got a feeling he's sold some tents to competiton folks.   ;D

How Ya gonna anchor that bad boy down? I have gone through a few 10 x 20's in the past 5 years, and none of the ground ones have worked. Kind of a kick when your neighbor knocks on your door and says " Your cook tent is over here". I have to suspend some concrete blocks to keep it here. Not pretty, but functional.

I had one of those 10x20 "car cover" tents and "staked" it with 6 concrete blocks.
A storm took it, blocks and all, twisted it like a pretzel and tossed it in a tree.

This tent came with monster stakes and ropes... 
Gonna use a trucker's hitch on each corner.
It's rated for 90mph winds.
