See, you just need to come down to the next Gulf Wars in March and
enter them in the (rather non-period) Gleann Ahbann BBQ contest!
Besides, then I would finally get to met you in person!

Any new reports?
I didn't mention that when I had a smoker we used to do 10-12 pounds
of wings for the faculty holiday parties. I would smoke them first and
then grill them with the sauce to finish the next day. It was a long
involved process.
