Hey Woody, did you get the pit to fit in the garage? I am hoping for a mild winter at least until Christmas. I have orders for pork butts for Christmas from a few folks and don't really want to be out freezing my buns off. I hate doing leaves and my big oak in the front of my house is the last tree in the neighborhood to lose its leaves. If I ever cut that thing down I'll enough oak for both of us for 10 lifetimes...huge. Got my pressure washer winterized and "Stabil" put in all the gas power equipment. Even started up the snowblower...man I hate winter.
