Sitting on the back patio with a spatchcocked turkey on the Pit Barrel Cooker. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. My wife doesn't have confidence in my culinary abilities, she'll be roasting a breast in the oven.
Found some Troost at a local B&M, now made by Orlik, it's not the same blend it used to be, closer to Orlik Golden Slices, witch makes it not a bad thing, just not the same. Served up in my Savinelli 619 EX Hercules, a good smoke!
North of Macon, Georgia, a short walk in the woods with a Chacom and my daily Toasted Burley and Perique. Tapatalk Via Kyocera
Forgot to post this Thursday, my second pipe while cooking turkey breasts. My vintage Charatan loaded with OGS. This pipe started out in 1978 as a natural finish. After 4 decades of smoking and handling, it is considerably darker now with a nice sheen to it.
The Weber must be at least 20 years old, didn't they replace the wood handles with nylon in the 90's? I loved the three separate air vents on the bottom of the old Webers, it gave much better temp control than the new single handle arrangement.
You are just about right. I bought this Weber in the late 90's but can't remember for sure if it was 97, 98, or 99. I also can't remember at the moment what the date code is on it, but I believe it may be 1997. They switched to plastic shortly after. When the screw hole finally wallowed out, I didn't want a new plastic one, so a quick wrap with electrical tape saved the day, LOL. Since then, I've seen aftermarket replacement wooden handles, and since the actual kettle itself is still hanging strong, I may spring for some new ones. On the other hand, the tape works....
I picked up an Old-Vic marked "8473 Century old Briar Italy". It's been reamed, filled with sea salt and EverClear. The vulcanite bit has a little tooth chatter and oxidation to be polished out. Seems there's a connection to Lorenzo, but I'm not finding this particular model in a google search.
And it draws well. Has a stinger of sorts. Very tight tenon. No damage to the bowl. The texture of the exterior reminds me of ostrich skin boots. I like it! Tapatalk Via Kyocera
