I think we asked for it before but don't recall. @Troy is this doable or not ?

I would use it if available.

Anyone interested in a Virtual Cookoff for Cinco de mayo (next week)?

I say cook off but really just photo share with some key points on the prep and cook for a Latin style bbq/menu?

I plan to do carnitas and tres leches and trying to see if the club wants to join in for this theme??

Excellent write up!  I am salivating, right along with Beaux.  I had a 22" WSM (with some mods), and loved smoking briskets, butts and ribs etc, but ended up selling it, also because of my back.  Very difficult to prepare for a cook, and clean up after.  I felt like a kettle would be a suitable replacement, but it just isn't.  I am looking at getting back into a legitimate smoker, but having fun with my kettles for now.

Thanks so much!  Had to read back through the thread - it's been a few months since this cook.  It was a fun one, but I look forward to doing another one on a warm calm day very soon.  Kettles are a lot of fun and very versatile.  I'd recommend a 26" for you, but if you have back issues that lid can be like lifting a boat anchor.  I whole heartedly recommend the Summit for anyone who has back issues.  I must say when I choose what I'm going to cook on for the evening, the ease of raising / lowering the lid along with having the big SS table makes the Summit an easy, convenient choice.  Something about it - not sure what - but everything on the Summit seems to taste better than just about any other grill I cook on.

Cheers and thanks for bringing up this thread!
