If I had a basement model motor home.. I would bring along my Cookshack smoker. I have the model 008 and it makes the best Q you've ever had. I bought it at Cabela's and it included free shipping at the time. Runs about $400 for the black model and about $75 more for the stainless model. It's not too big.. uses VERY little wood.. as in about 2-4 ounces per cook, and has a 1500 watt heater. Very insulated so VERY efficient and doesn't dry out the meat.

Check the forum at Cookshack.com

Don't work for them.. but own a 008 and lovin' it.

I agree with FatDog, you just gotta baste steaks & burgers with wine. Must be a Cal/Oregon thing. Maybe next Thanksgiving we can talk about wine basted turkey. We carry a Sunbeam gas grill and a chimney type charcoal grill. Some things,like a thick ribeye demand chunck charcoal. Also carry my '60s vintage Coleman stove to remind me of cooking breakfast outside when we tent camped.

I bought my Baby Q Weber grill on ebay - saved about $20.00.

i believe that we might call it the "RV'rs for Julia Childs",
we won't be the fanciest of guys, nor the neatest,
but they will come from all corners of the campground to have a nibble of our flambe burgers or your wine basted turkey, or .....

I just picked up the Coleman Road Trip at Bi-Mart for $99!!

I can't wait for this weekend!

Hoverbug · 05-19-2005, 04:58 PM

Ain't BiMart a cool store? Just went there to get a Tuscan Blue Rosemary plant. Will use a few sprigs on the steaks tomorrow night. Rain or shine Friday is our steak night. Remember when we lived in Spokane a guy in Albertsons could'nt believe I was buying charcoal in January. In Hawaii my neighbor thought I should be commited for firing up the Q wearing a poncho in the rain. Some folks just don't what they're missing. Breake out that new grill this weekend and show those kids the joy of cooking and living well.

GOOD stuff.

we pull a little rosemary from our garden for the same thing
But in Hawaii, when it rains it usually still is 80 degrees. You can surf one side of the isle, drive over the top and catch a little rain, and an hour later be BBQing back on the other side. You really can't argue with that kind of life

You're right. On Oahu there are four distinct and different climates at the same time. We were at Schofield Barracks and it would get pretty darn cold at night. I can remember shivering to my bones while camping Army style in the hills above the north shore. Then a short time later cursing having to wear Nomex. Ahh the memories.

Hover
its all personnal preference,
but i would rather be in Klamath Falls any day of the week, rain or shine,
You guys got a Lake there, a Crater there, and some beaches pretty close by.
Keep on bar-b-queing

Yeah KFalls is nice. It's a great community. Took the dogs for a romp today at the city park on the lake. Do you know about our classic car shindig? Reno has Hot August Nights we have the Klamath Kruise in July. Theres a show and competition at the park all day and a parade of cars in town at night. It's a big draw of classic cars from California to Vancouver BC. The wildlife here is increadible. I've been watching a Red Tail Hawk hatch and now care for a pair of snow white babies 100' up in a ponderosa pine. And we have some of the best lake and river fly fishing there is. Thophy trout. Hey,ya'll come visit hear!
