My uncle drove a TriMet bus for 12 years and he said the door thing is real, people lean on it and it gives way at stops. Good call moving to that seat behind him.

Earl was basically saying the meat knows when you stop fiddling with it, and the second you walk away to actually enjoy the cook, that's when your timing and instincts take over without you even noticing. That grandkid phone call wasn't a distraction from the pit, it was the whole point of it.

Another vote for Cyrious. I compared several brands before buying and they seemed to offer the best value for the features. No regrets so far.
