Want! Ooo, nice touch with the green onions!

the turkey legs & wings were on sale for .99¢#
so I thought I'd give them a try on the OldSmokey
they tasted GREAT, but were a little tougher than chicken
think I'll stick with the chicken next time

On the big 22"OldSmokey the fire pan is 8" below the grill grate
so you can cook directly over the coals without having to worry about flair ups
best BBQ chicken cooker I have ever cooked on !!!!!!!!!!

the charcoal is the new house brand, "Outdoor Gourmet" that Academy is carrying
a 16# bag is normally $4.99 (good deal)
but before the Memorial Day, & 4th of July holidays they were running them for $2.99 a bag !!
it is really just RoyalOak re-bagged for Academy
has RO's same ridged briquet logo on the lower front of the bag

btw-
this is the reason I cook on an OldSmokey instead of a Weber

Everytime you post, you make me want to run out and buy one of those grills. That was the first grill I ever had, but it was the smaller one. Great looking pterodactyl.

Excellent info! Thanks.

you should, they only cost $64
most of the accessories or parts I have for my other cooking equipment cost more than $64

I just might have to do that, but I'm going to have to put it off for awhile as I just bought a bunch of stuff for brewing beer. Probably have to sneak in a gift for the wife first, wait awhile and then get one. Won't she be happy that I bought another grill?

for those of you who might be interested in a 22"OldSmokey
since the fire pan is 8" below the grill grate, it's a little low for a good grill
SOooooo
the simple thing I do is add a couple of 4½" wide bricks that raises the fire pan up to 5" below the grill
the same distance as a Weber

Ah...so you like to brew beer? This is my first batch. Brewed it Thursday, gonna transfer it from the bucket to a carboy soon (not sure on how many days, was still bubbling slowly last night). Getting excited about it.

Thanks for the tips on the raised charcoal grate, makes sense.
