BBQ pit dreamin'

Hi, kids:

You've seen some pictures of my barbecue pit at home. It's not really a real pit, but instead a small grill that if we squeeze the meat around close enough, we are able to smoke up some barbecue. So my dad and I have been looking around to get a real barbecue pit -- something that has a lot of space to maneuver the meat, and something that has a smoker box attached to it. With the smoke box you can put your charcoal and wood separate from your meat, and it really helps to cook the meat away from the flame (so you don't burn it or overcook it) and more consistently.

We were driving through the town of Luling to get to our boy scouts camp, and we came across this barbecue pit for sale. There was a sign listing it for sale for $2,100 or best offer. It sure looked like a great pit -- it had two sections for meat, the offset smoker box, and a tall smokestack to draw the smoke through the pit. We're still thinking about it. My dad and I were only worried about Mom's reaction to spending that much money on a bbq pit!

You can see how great it looks! You could fit a whole pig into it!
