Gas over charcoal? BLASPHEMY!

If we want to talk about politics and global warming, etc? Take it to the TAR PIT! This is the Bigfoot General Discussion forum. This is where we talk about BIGFOOT!

Let's stop beating up on our youngest member please. Maybe this is the reason why we don't have more of them... They don't feel welcome.

And among the very best ways to support the forum!!

Actually, I think that’s pretty accurate. And stay off my lawn.

Haha! No one can replicate the original, the one, and the only Hickok45....especially at 6'8"!!

I have to buy those bags of chips when I want Mesquite since it doesn't grow over here in far East Texas. I've used Apple wood before too and it's very good. Hickory is by far my favorite too, it just gives that naturally sweet smoky flavor. We used to gather Hickory nuts for my grandma to make cakes with and would use the whole nuts on the BBQ too. I think they're even better because the shells are like hardwood and you get that oil off the nut when it smokes.

You're in Omaha? I remember you from years ago on the forum, didn't remember you were in Omaha? I lived there for over 30 years.

Send a care package to Omaha!

What Im getting out of the poll. Most of us are late middle aged, well educated, researchers who like rock and roll and gas bbqs...... Can you dig it? Oh and by the way, over 60 percent of us have been with the BFF over 5 years! That means two things! 1) We are loyal. 2) And we love the BFF! Im gonna crash your next hunting camp just fer the grub!!!

Agreed. I smoke salmon almost every year, and sometimes BIG batches........20 cases or more of 1/2 pint jars. I’ll be smoking and canning a bunch in November when I get home. Summertime is too busy. I freeze it, then smoke/can a bunch in winter. The smoker/bbq is designed for charcoal with the smoke box off to the side to keep the meat a bit cooler. It’s big enough for a bear ham or large turkey. I take a small charcoal bbq with me in my camper/trailer combo and use it often for steaks, salmon, and chicken. I used to take a flat, rectangular grill with folding legs with me in the Argo when I went into the hills to sheep/caribou camp along with a small bag of charcoal. I’d dig a small hole, line it with rocks, and set the grill over it, but I’m trying to reduce the size/weight of my remote camp now. No fresh/frozen meats anymore.

Tell all of these old farts to kiss your behind Nate. Ya'll lay off my boy!

Propane cook stoves are really good for certain things, but you can't BBQ or properly smoke meats with propane I don't care what anyone says. You can grill with them, they can make a decent steak or hamburger, but don't even try to call it BBQ'ing and or smoking.

The wife has now claimed the Wrangler permanently, so I had to trade in the beloved Cadillac DTS (my daily driver and mobile couch for the last decade) and get something that will get me to the squatchin’ areas. Behold the Commander: 2”lift, larger Treadwright Wardens and cargo rack. Interior cargo management and exterior cargo management is augmented by a handful of quik fists. More than enough cargo room, power to pull the trailer (aka “the hearse”) and actually rides fairly well. It is not as capable as the Wrangler, but still gets me where I need to go, easily.

Professional body building is a hobby, not a profession.

I think it's an over-generalization just like folks my age and younger say that all baby boomers are get off my lawn types who ruined the planet and we will be paying for their retirements for years to come with no benefit for us. I know a lot of POS people who are much older than myself...and I know a ton of POS people my age or younger. I think it's just easier for one generation to point to the next for all of "our" problems.

LOL.......I use charcoal when I have time or when camping, and I use propane with disgust when I’m the cook/slave for my lazy family.

I just have to say that as a Texan I'm disgusted by this talk of BBQ'in with anything but charcoal or wood.
