The Scoop: A few weeks ago @Idahawk shared an excellent kettle dessert recipe in the Cooks, Pics and Recipes forum. We tested this one out at home and it’s keeper for sure!

This is the only Smokey Joe we have documented that has a Diet Mountain Dew logo and script on the handle. It is currently owned by WKC member Troy Dunn, aka “dwnthehatch”. This is a new Smokey Joe with a vent code of “AT” which dates it to a 2013 grill. Typically we see the logo grills…

The Meatninja is now blogging for WKC and his site is no longer online) Mini WSM – in all its glory I’ve long been into grilling with the occasional venture…
