  1. That’s a good food I loved past tense. It always sucks now. I’ll probably say sushi. It’s really only good when it’s really, really good.
  2. https://houston.craigslist.org/for/d/houston-klose-bbq-smoker-20x30/6964990844.html This one just showed up on Craigslist. Not sure about $1200 but like the stainless double grates.
  3. I hate you. I’ve done 4 racks of ribs on my egg and was assuming I could do 2 racks of ribs, a brisket and some sausage all at one time on the 36” which would suit my needs well.
  4. Klose says they have the 20x36 in stock. Also an ultra sexy stainless one for three large. https://bbqpits.com/bbq-pits-in-stock/
  5. Ha, serious. I’ll take some tool hangers instead.
  6. I’m assuming you’re going to say get the Klose? Any thoughts on models and customization?
  7. Interesting, but I already have a Lynx gas grill on my patio and have discovered that I only used the BGE for smoking. No interest in any type of combo unit right now unless I cave and get a BGE XL which I already know exactly how to use.
  8. I haven’t had Booker’s Rye but I’ve had a couple dozen ryes and this one isn’t that special.
  9. Cracked a WT Cornerstone Rye last night and give it a solid 6/10. You don’t need this on your shelf for $169.
  10. Alright, I cracked the lid on my BGE and I’m ready to step up to an offset/stick burner after 8 years of practice with lump on the BGE. Does anybody have any advice or input on the following three options? Lonestar Grillz https://lonestargrillz.com/collections/smokers/products/20-x-42-offset-smoker Lyfe Tyme Inc - 20l 20”x40” single lid offset https://www.lyfetyme.com/pricing/ Klose - 20”x42” without 1/2” firebox http://bbqpits.net/ These are all $1600-$1900 and I’m not really looking to go over $2k. I’ve had a hardon for the idea of a Klose forever, but the LSG actually looks like a better design with plate construction giving a lot more real estate inside compared to pipe. I’m also not wanting to wait forever to find a used Klose because football and smoking season is a week away and I need something to distract me from how pitiful USC will be this year.
  11. There are some decoders online if you want to hammer out the date. I picked a handle of 80 proof AN Turkey from ‘09 last year but haven’t thought of a reason to open it.
  12. Yeah, I’ve got a 114.4 proof open and it’s really good. I bought them every time I found them for $40 or under and used one or two in trades. It’s nothing like an older MGP or Barton rye, most comparable to Handy in that it’s young and hot-ish but packed with rye spice and citrus. It crushes even 10+ year Alberta ryes as well.
  13. I have a couple 1910s just chilling. Also a Stagg Jr 11, EHT SiB, ECBP and some WFE 4 yr if any of that strikes your fancy for the RHF.
  14. I bought a dovetail because I found it for $74 and the salesman had just whipped out an EH Taylor SiB from the back room and I was feeling generous. It’s about 1/2 as good as Blood Oath Pact 5 which I’ve seen as low as $88. I have a 14 yr Barrell store pick from OLC that’s pretty solid, but overall there’s a lot out there better for the price.
  15. I’ll do Weller Special Reserve for something low proof or OF1920 for higher. Booker’s makes a great Manhattan too.
  16. If you have a problem I have about 1/2 of an open bottle problem.
  17. $56 at OLC when I grabbed one out of his 12 cases today. $50 cash at Spec’s Brodie later.
  18. Spec’s has had it for the same price previously. I have three different batches now but still looking for a 126.
  19. Old Fitz 9 BiB for sure. Just had a pour at Oasthouse tonight.
  20. Some ice? That’s all the ice. Elmer T Lee would be proud of that 60 proof pour.
  21. I have a bottle of the Canadian Club 41 yr and can safely assure you it’s not the dominant flavor profile in Little Book 02. Also picked up a bottle of the Old Ezra 7 in trade for a WFE 4 yr rye and would say it’s pretty much the best Barrel Strength on the market for $40.
  22. Nah, it’s not quite suicidal with Knob. Have one as a Manhattan or old fashioned and then move on to sipping.
  23. I’ve had that and could barely choke it down. Possibly worse than Garrison Bros.
  24. I love Little Book 02 and have a spare bottle because it will eventually be hard to find. At the $89 Specs price it’s kind of a no brained. There’s some type of toasted marshmallow note in there that I just love, but the palate is pretty similar to OF1910 if you’re looking to save a few bucks.
  25. Guy now wants 2 W12s and the store pick. Not sure I want to do that when I could easily get 450 for them ORVW is not that great. It goes for more than GTS on secondary but you’d have to be a huge wheater fanboy to like it more. Like anyone else I’d buy at retail but you need to try it before unloading that much for it. If you’re in Austin it’s $15 at Oasthouse. Or $16/2 oz at the golf club in my neighborhood.
