Here’s to getting your wish. Which smoker do you have your eye on?

I decided to to smoke something different than just cigars. I picked up a new pellet smoker/grill as my Christmas present. I got a Yoder 480 pellet smoker so I can join the ranks of those cookin’ Low and slow. I did a test cook last Sunday to smoke a turkey breast. I have volunteered to cook...

So now he’s a human spell checker...

From the MN Craigslist: “Sadly, I am selling my complete cigar collection. With 10+ years of collecting and aging, this is one collection that any serious fan will enjoy. There are single sticks in here that range from $X-XX per stick and boxes that are vintage and collectible ! (Opus, RYJ...

We are now in the business of baseball segment season where the "brain-trusts" of each team try to win games by moving the game pieces around the proverbial baseball chess board.
