I have seen it, but it's a bit more elusive. Will inquire about it with the crotchety old farts at my local shop if you're interested.

I know that they have had some bottles made just for them with the store name on it (but I think that was just regular AE)

It's a single cask scotch so it varies a bit, but I've liked all the ones I've tried. It's got a lot of the classic honey, vanilla, oakiness and a bit of fruit like raisins and oranges and it's stronger than several scotch bottled at around 100 proof rather than 80.

lol..

seriously though do the primos not hold a steady temp very well? I've run my Egg over night and not touched the dampers for over 8-9 hours and sat at 250 the entire time

They do hold it just as easy...I just like no having to worry about it. I put the meat on then light the grill and set to the temp I want...gives it a nice slow rise so the meat can pick up as much smoke while still cold on the outside. Once I have my own network again I can set it up on that and control/monitor from work...cook something all day so its ready when I get home. Low and slow all day then ramp it up to brown and crisp the outside. Definitely not needed tho.

Nice pick ups UJ...that label looks similar one I have on a jps 18

I haven't tried the EC barrel select yet. I'm not as big on the 'fire water' as you guys are. Booker's is about my limit for high octane.

hmmm... read up on creosote

quote:

1. After starting the lump, let the fire establish itself. The charcoal has a lot of creosote on it from it's original manufacturing. You're starting a lot of charcoal when you open up the vents to start the fire. Let that burn for a while.

2. Don't overshoot your temperature after starting and smother the fire to cool it down quickly. This creates and extremely oxygen-poor environment and lots of creosote. If you do overshoot, stabilize the temp (more waiting) before putting on the meat.

3. Don't smother the fire with the food in it. Again, extreme oxygen poor condition and very hot lump.

4. Burning too much green wood at once (wood that isn't charcoal, being fresh or aged is just a moisture difference) will generate lots of creosote. A little wood goes a long way for flavoring.

I have read about that...but my thought is if you do a low and slow you light one spot of fresh lump...then once temp is stable you put meat on. As time goes on new fresh lump catches fire...how is that different?

I've wondered the same exact thing.
