I forgot to mention a couple of locations of Dicky's opened in town. We decided we better investigate. Had pretty low expectations from the last time we went to one years ago in Washington State.

I hope it was not just a good night, it was quite delicious. Apart from the beans everything was the way we like it, flavour full, good smoke, nice sauces.

It's really not the right tool for you if you can't take / store it inside manno.

I loaded the chimney a bit more than usual and let it hangout for half an hour. I don’t know if there’s something wrong with my bag of Royal Oak briquettes but it took that long to get lit. Seems like a long time.

Sausages turned great but I don’t love charcoal yet.

I rarely have problems with Kingsford. After 30 minutes in my chimney started, my coals are ready to COOK..!

And don't forget the wood chips..!

tbf, I cannot recall using Royal Oak and I do not know anyone who does.

As a digression, at the Beach several years back, I met a guy (from WVA, as I recall) who worked at a Kingsford manufacturing plant and he told me that it was tough to get the "K" on the briquets. Kingsford is good and #1 for many reasons. imo.

I build a fire using any wood off the land. Dig a deep fire pit with a keyhole for cooking on the side. Have an and old cast iron grilling plate that stabs into the ground. Still works.

For my birthday, my wife took me out for a BBQ dinner. I got a sampler plate of pulled porked, smoked brisket, and smoked sausage. For sides I did collard greens and baked beans. There was also a small bit of corn bread. ALL VERY GOOD. The place: Mission Barbecue.

And, at the end of the meal, I was in a GOOD MOOD. We had a good chat with our server, whom we found out is their community ambassador. He is a good young man and is considering becoming a firefighter.

Besides their food, I like their MISSION, too.
