Hello from Wichita

[Merrill Powers]

Hey all…getting settled in and enjoying the new city and job. A little trouble with the lack of good charcoal, so I might be loading up on my monthly trip to KC. Cooked for 200 at an outdoor event last week and Royal Oak was the best I could find in lump. Smelled like a recent house fire before it was even lit. Fought it for 12 hours and got it done. Temped to switch over to gas, but my pride kicked in! :)

Miss hearing from everyone! The list wouldn’t subscribe my new email, so hope this goes through.

Not pride. Standards.

What Sherm said! Your standards are your soul.

Good to hear from you and that you are doing well. Good luck with the charcoal situation. Has the collection grown any?

Lucy and Sherm,
Full disclosure, 2 of three cookers on my Alveron trailer are gas/wood. Wood is took expensive in Chicago when your cooking for 600 people. Sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do!

I have used RO for years, but I’ve had trouble with the green bag RO. I thought the first time was a fluke with damp charcoal, but it happened again. My preference for years has been Chef’s Best. (A RO product)

Glad you made it there OK

I’ve had good luck with the RO red bag lump here. But that usually requires a trip to Walmart for me and I don’t want to be featured on a people of Walmart website so have been using mostly briquettes lately when my bag ran out.

Never seen a green bag here though. Green bag must cause cancer in CA so it’s banned I’m guessing.

Glad you made it ok and are getting back to “normal”.

Lucy, have you looked at that BBQland place on Spring st. and Palo Verde? I went there a while back and they had all kinds of rubs and sauces. Think they had charcoal too but wasn’t in there long as I was in a hurry. They even had gallons of Blues Hog, Phil’s Pork Mafia rub etc.

saw where Wichita had a Tornado.

Are you and your family OK

[Merrill Powers]

Hey Spence,
We’re OK. We live on the west side, and the tornado hit Andover on the east side. Our disaster service teams have been on site since 10:00 last night, but Nancy and I are stuck home after picking up COVID. They are doing the hard work while we coordinate from my couch. Really hard to stay home.

Thanks for checking in!

A friend is going to Green Bay for five days and then Chicago. She is looking for excellent seafood and vegetable places. Any Ideas?
