I’ve had a few funny incidents/discussions lately that inspired this. I figured it would be fun to start a running list to see what we could come up with. I’m sure many of us can relate to some of these. That said…
1) “Running low on charcoal” means anything less than five unopened bags in your garage
2) Someone asked you how much longer until the food was done and your response was “Not much longer, another couple of hours should do it”
3) 2 or 3 half-empty rolls of aluminum foil are in your pantry at any given time
4) The digital thermometer you bought for your newborn? $25 at WalMart. The digital meat thermometer you bought? $80 a piece, and you own three of them.
5) You have a “good pair” and a “bad pair” of tongs, and nobody besides you knows how to properly use the “bad pair”
6) You have a specific shirt or two that you only wear when grilling
7) There is that one section of concrete near the pit that is always in desperate need of degreaser and a powerwashing
8 ) You have ever received blank stares when talking about “stickburners”
9) You can immediately tell the difference between a first and second-degree burn
10) You have ever kept grilling in spite of a second-degree burn
11) There are at least three different grind sizes of black pepper in your spice rack right now
12) You have ever let a finished rack of ribs ride it out a little longer in the pit so you could have one last beer
13) You have taken three showers since your last pit session but you still smell a little like smoke
14) “Oh, I’m not gonna barbecue or anything…just gonna grill something up real quick”
15) You take pictures of everything you cook, on the off chance that one of them turns out good enough to enter a throwdown
16) You have ever been listening to music while ‘cueing and suddenly wondered “Ya know…I wonder what 16Adams would think about this particular song…” :laugh:
