nice, john! how did it turn out? i was thinking about cutting racks into 1/3s, just for the increased bark.. haven't yet, just thinking out loud.
i was looking at a XXL BGE yesterday. it was on sale 25% from $3999.
I have never seen a consumer smoker/grill that large. luckily i was only in the HW store for some FOGO charcoal for my Primo and Vision and my hatchback can't fit the XXL in the trunk and it was filled with sports equipment. The lump choice in there was amazing though... I used to use some wegmans brand lump or cpwboy or whatever was closest, but this shop had at least 10 different lumps going on.
I smoked some pork loin 7 lbs for a couple hours with hickory on friday afternoon to 145F in the Vision. Its so nice to WFH. Started it during my lunch hour and took it out after the work day ended.
