Just picked up a charcoal basket

Postby NewBQ » Fri May 29, 2009 7:40 pm

Well, I just picked up my charcoal basket from 3star redneck.

That man does some good work, Heavy duty basket will probably last longer than me!

Great dude, nice pit, he and his buddy billy were just gettin stuff ready for their cookoff @ the VFW in Arlington.

Also, Met "Kevin" from the forum, Jeff I don't remember what his forum name is can you help me out?

Also good people.

Good luck to both of ya'll

Thanks again Jeff!

Because they are too lazy to tend the fire. :roll: :shock: :mrgreen:

I'll admit, that I've got my WSM and UDSs for when I want to be lazy...
