WOW! That's one hell of a cooking system.

Nancy tells me that we are broke, I am therefore striving to stay w/in my budget on this one.

When we sell the Santa Fe house our TEC grill will be transported here, then all I need will be a smoker. YOUR smoker would do nicely!

Friends have been looking at these. They are made in Oregon.

Nancy bought me a "Big Green Egg" yesterday. I carried it to the farm in the back of my pickup, had a friend help me offload it; and in the middle of a heavy rain I cooked a couple of steaks on it. The steaks were delicious, 4 minutes per side and on the plate. Later, when I was reading the directions/instructions, I found a (perhaps) better way to do it. At this point I am satisfied, will see what happens when I try smoking ribs.

I appreciate the advice, thanks, all.

dun,

coming from south texas gas is a no go. everything tastes so much better with charcoal. depending on how much you want spend i recommend looking at gatorpit.net. they are heavy duty and would be last pit you would ever have to buy.

I use a little charcoal Weber with mesquite or hickory chunks for small things like sausage. I also use pans of water arranged like this:

Tastes pretty good!

I thought you were asking if you should put diamonds in your teeth

Looks neat kiddo but I'd end up with some sticker shock. I think it's one of those things that if you'd use it a lot, then the cost would be worth it, cause it sounds like it'll do everything but the laundry. If it's just something you'd use like a Weber grill then it wouldn't be worth the bucks.

(This is when you say, "Well, duh!")

I'm still thinking about the Orion Cooker.

Anyhow, IMHO...

I do grill a lot, in summer, which is 9 mos long here.. pretty much everyday. It keeps the heat out of the apt. I have a cheapie gas grill that is small and okay for me.. Use a handful of hickory nuts for my smoke flavor. But I want something higher quality. I can get oak on a regular basis to cook with. I looked at good gas grills and am not impressed.
