I'm planning to smoke one on the kamado and spatchcock and roast one on the Weber this year. I just need to see if my temp probes are long enough that I can use on both grills at the same time.

I use the Alton Brown method and use Apple wood for smoke flavor. I cook two smaller birds as opposed to one large bird. They come out great.

Well that was fun.

This is fucking glorious.

Nice stop there. Come on guys.

I think low season is Middle June to December. I went in July 4 years ago. Island was less crowded than it is when we normally go - October and November
Thanks for the information. This is extremely helpful.
Airbnb has a ton of great options as well.

There is a good one by the airport called Marche U. And one in Gustavia right on the way in from the airport roundabout. And another in Lorient. You can get good stuff. You just kind of have to stop and buy a little from each. There is a fish market right when you come into Gustavia near the public parking area and where the ferry stops. And a great meat market in Marigot. The good thing is the island is tiny. You can go from one end to the other in 20 minutes top. So if you are staying somewhere in the middle, most stuff is 5-10 minutes away at most.
Awesome. And thoughts on Winair?
I've found a number of great options on Airbnb as well that are very affordable. I think this is where the wife and I will spend our 10 year anniversary.

The latter. They just lock those bedrooms. You will have it all.
There are some nice ones with good values that are just one bedroom. Or two.
What is wrong with winair? I see flights from SanJuan through them for sub $300.
Also, what are the grocery store options? I'd probably rent a villa and would be interested in cooking a few dinners to save money.

I would strongly consider St. Barth or Anguilla. I like St. Barth the best. You can check out villas on Sibarth.com.

Last November we went for almost 2 weeks and stayed at Villa Bikini. It was perfect for us since we had our kids. And was in the perfect location and the price was very fair.
https://www.sibarth.com/our-villas/bkn
How many people are going? Just you two? If so, you may want to consider a hotel. We went for two weeks for our honeymoon and stayed at Eden Rock and Le Toiny, two of the nicest hotels on the island. And while they were awesome, I kind of felt like we did not get our money's worth. St. Barth is a place you really don't spend a lot of time at the hotel or resort. It is a small island with 20+ beaches. So the typical day would be wake up, have breakfast, go to a beach some where there are maybe 10 other people on, either picnic on beach for lunch or got to a restaurant, go back to a different beach in the afternoon, come back and swim, get ready for dinner, go to dinner, come back and screw/sleep. So besides sleeping, screwing and showering, we really weren't at the hotel much. You are at the beaches, shopping, renting a boat, exploring the island, etc.
My point is that when we went back two years later, we stayed at a much cheaper hotel (Le Village in St. Jean) that cost less than half of the others. It was still plenty nice and truthfully I had just as good of a time. But if money is not a big concern, Eden Rock and Le Toiny are two I stayed in that are perfect.
Even if it is just you are your wife, you can rent a 1 bedroom villa. They all will have a pool and daily maid service (except Sunday). Now we exclusively rent villas. I like waking up and running to the bakery for croissants (which will cost you a grand total of about $5 for breakfast for two). Having my coffee while watching the sun rise. And the privacy. Having a pool right there to swim in while the wife gets ready for dinner.
St. Barth is not a place to go if you need casinos, golf, or shit like zip lining. It is a small, beautiful island with beautiful people. There are a handful of beaches that have bars on the sand (actually now I think it is 4 -- St. Jean, Shell, Lorient (Eden Rock put something there recently), and Gran Cul De Sac. St. Jean has 3 or 4 now. Nikki Beach is my favorite. You can go there for lunch and it starts off tame. The music steadily gets louder as the afternoon progresses and people get drunker. Or you can go to Saline, Gouverneur, or Colombier where you can find a spot where no one will be near you for 100-200 yards.
You will need a car. They aren't expensive. And driving is fun there. You will learn the island quickly.
Also I recommend going in Mid October and to Mid December. Weather is perfect. Almost no chance for hurricanes. And that is the low season price wise. If you go from Mid December to Mid January, that is silly season. Prices on accommodations are 5x more and the island is crowded with regular people and all the celebs.
February to June are also great times to go. But given the price of low season, I love late October to Mid December the best.
My favorite restaurants are Santa Fe, Eden Rock, Eddys, Le Tamarin, Le Gaiec (at Le Toiny), Shellona, Le Repaire, Mayas, and La Langouste. Vietnam is also good and a great value.
If it is just the two of you, try and book early on one of the cheaper flights on Tradewinds from San Juan to St. Barth. They fly you in on a Pilatus and it is almost like flying private. I only do that if it is me and the wife, because it is more expensive than going through St. Marteen. But much less of a hassle. Only customs you have to wait for is in St. Barth, which is a joke and takes two seconds. Saint Marteen can be a big delay and the airport is in a tent right now due to hurricane Maria. I think the building is supposed to open soon. But flying to San Juan and taking a tradewinds flight is so much quicker and easier. Otherwise you have to get up early, fly from Houston or Dallas to Charlotte or Miami, then connect to St. Marteen, then take another flight or boat to St. Barth.
If you fly to St. Marteen, try and book early through St. Barth Commuter. It is much cheaper and much better than the other air option -- Winair. Or you can take the Voyager Express. It is cheaper than both but takes 45 minutes instead of 10 and the schedule isn't as good (the airplanes leave every 20 minutes or so). The flight into St Barth is fun.
Rent a boat one day. It is not that much. We use Jicky Marine and rent a center console inflatable. Boating around the island with a cold Presidente and the music going is fun and there is a small island 10 minutes away by boat that has a cool beach and you will likely be the only one there. You can also go to Colombier, which is an awesome beach that you otherwise half to hike 30 minutes to, and just hook up to a mooring ball.
I have been to a lot of places in the Caribe. St. Barth is my favorite. The people are great. And you don't have a lot of the riff raff other islands have with the cruise ship crowds. And given the island's demographics and wealth, has come back from Maria much faster than anywhere else. I was there just two months after Maria and they had most of it cleaned up. The 5 star hotels were not open, but they will all be open by this fall, I believe.
If you book one room in the Villa you linked do you need to worry about them booking the other rooms or do they just not give you access to them?

I got it right before Christmas. I have only gotten to use it 3 or 4 times. I have the 1/2" firebox. I would definitely get it or the insulated one. I am going to be cooking 9 or 10 pork butts in a few weeks for friend who is using them for pulled pork sandwiches for a party. Can't wait for that. It will be the first time I've had it full of meat.
Post pics when that goes down.

I am looking at adding an offset smoker to my collection, and these grills really caught my eye. How long have you had it and how many cooks have you done on it?
The Design and stack placement look ideal to me based on what I have read (Franklin's book) and the fit and finish from the pictures looks top notch. What firebox do you have? I was thinking of upgrading to 1/2 so I can cook in colder weather.

Was I concerned when I saw blood in my underpants? Yes. Yes I was. But have you ever eaten at Chipotle? It's really good.

My longest run on a single bowl of lump is 27 hours. Still enough left over that after i closed all the vents, there was enough left to start back up a few days later and grill a few hamburger patties.
I have the large KJ. Before a Vision. Neighbor has the XL Oval Primo. That things' a beast. Were I able to do it all over again, that's the route I'd go. In terms of quality, Primo & BGE are identical. But that extra surface area of the Primo oval, especially if you have double racks - that's great to have. Oval > round. If you want to have two zones for cooking, you have that option also.
These are my thoughts as well. I have zero regrets getting an Oval XL.

Chewy are you the one from the old board that used to post all the XL pics? Or was that Don'tshootrude?
I just told my buddy I want it.
That was me. I still love mine and use it several times a week.

I have had a primo oval XL for 9 years now and I still love it. I recently got a cast iron griddle so I could do smash burgers on it.

Wouldn't rust and corrosion be a major concern if it is outside full time?

Seriously. I don't understand how they are even making payroll at this point. Why would anyone stay?
