Do not let my smoker get hit by a tornado!

It has my name on it, I wonder if that's enough to put it in harm's way?Dembadon said:As long as the smoker is nowhere near you when the tornadoes arrive, it should be fine, shouldn't it?
Terrible danger! The poor UPS driver! What about his wife and family?!Evo said:It has my name on it, I wonder if that's enough to put it in harm's way?
If this were anyone else except you, I would laugh it off. That being said, the biggest gift I wish for you is for you to regain some degree of health, and to be able to get about and do the things you truly enjoy with those who are closest to you liking smoking foods to perfection.Evo said:It has my name on it, I wonder if that's enough to put it in harm's way?
Oh no! Dangerous storms and tornadoes from Oklahoma City to Kansas City tonight!Borek said:Oklahoma City.
Note that I reported Albuquerque much after it left it, it didn't make it THAT fast.
Whew, thanks dl! I find comfort in the arrow.dlgoff said:I think it'll be okay. It should be about here and safe from storms.
Oooh, it may get here for my birthday!OmCheeto said:Oh dear. I hope this wasn't shipped UPS or FedEx. They don't deliver on Saturdays, and it's getting late in Kansas.
though, I do have connections with both shippers, and can make magic happen.
but then again, I cannot trump the tornado gods.
We hopes!Evo said:Oooh, it may get here for my birthday!
Interstate I-40, the I-35 from OkC to KC.Borek said:Oklahoma City.
Note that I reported Albuquerque much after it left it, it didn't make it THAT fast.
"Right on time" is not in the Brown handbook! We hav RULES!Borek said:Left Wichita.
Unfortunately, it is UPS. Delivery is scheduled for May 1st, but from the way it is moving looks like it should have no problems reaching Evo on Monday - right on time.
There should be no excuse for it not to get here Monday!Borek said:Lenexa. That's Evo's backyard. 6.2 miles in a straight line from the UPS Hub to Evo's home.
I duz happy dance, too! Tell her to leave the camera in your car when she returns that! She can send the debit card to me. I'll keep it warm.Evo said:There should be no excuse for it not to get here Monday!
<Evo does happy dance>
Hopefully Evo Child will return my camera today so I can post pictures when it gets here. She's been evading my requests to return it. She has a much better digital camera. At least she HAD a better camera. She finally admitted she doesn't know where all of my treasured Christmas DVDs she borrowed are.

Yep, it needs to be broken in.dlgoff said:Absolutely! For initial "break-in", I would heat it up slowly over several hours to it's max temp while loaded with smoke chips (slow heat-up to minimize thermal stress on the elements and create smoke to sweep it clean).
