    How not to be a spotter.

    Don't forget the other half of the equation, the good spotter and the driver who won't listen. Or is that the third, there still is hope for a good spotter and a driver that listens.

    The number was off the top of my head and when I saw this I though "wow, did I just bullsh*t?" then I did the math, conservatively, 1 time per month x 12 years x 4 pizza's+ per time, well over 1k good enough I guess. once I noticed callusses on the knuckles of my fingers from turning the...

    No issue with the stone, I just don't care for it on my pizza. It can tend to collect and burn so you need to brush it off.

    My first one I bought in 2003 and it looked like this I now have a BGE, but all of these are similar in how they cook. I learned more about cooking from this thing in 4 years than I had in the previous 20.

    currently rockin a BGE with some mods. goes from low & slow smoking @ 220* for pork ribs to screaming hot @650* for pizza. There are so many Kamado style cookers available now for so much less than I paid for my BGE. Best value I've found for charcoal is Royal Oak @ Home Depot. Here is a...
