Sine tones. 35Hz - 55Hz should cover what you need as you shouldn't really play lower and higher isn't really in the sub range. If you have yours set to play higher then by all means play some.

I could blow glass in it. I regularly find medium size hunks of glass in the ash when I let the old coal burn off. I'm pretty sure it can get into the 900's at the grate if not much more. I should also mention that it burned off the felt gasket they have on there in less than 5 seconds once after opening while insanely hot. I bought some Cotronics gasket, if you'd like some no problemo never seen that before. AWESOME! I will take you up on that! 1500 deg F gasket material and I have a whole roll. Something like $70 for it, but I decided it was necessary.

IMO a sear burner is an accessory to a grill, not a repalcement. I wouldn't want one of those inside, but would love to have my actual grill in a covered porch.

Mostly grilling. The only reason I am interested in doing this is because I read what you guys are saying about doing this and figured I would give it a try. If I liked it maybe I could get rid of the gas grill. As for what I would cook, pretty much anything that is good to eat. I love smoking and charcoal and all that but quite honestly its far too much of a hassle for one or two people compared to a gas grill I am lazy though, It isn't a hassle with a ceramic cooker, not at all.

Not so much on the Smoky Mountain either. If you want to do both the BGE is really a GREAT starting point. I still use my gas grill as often if not more often though, so it isn't a replacement. Anyone who says that you cannot get grilled flavor off gas is an idiot. You can't BBQ on gas though as that needs real fire. And since you are up North I will tell you that there is a HUGE difference between BBQ and Grilling.

My gut instantly screams no So for a beginner like me that would not be a good starter grill? Those are super hard to cnotrol, but can turn out good food. If you are at all serious about using it, you won't like it.

The "cheap" solution is a Weber Smoky Mountain.

yummy

Budget? I really don't want that to be a limiting factor. If I really had to come down to it? I doubt I would invest more than 300-400 for a pair for everything. That puts it in the realm of cost of the NHT classic 3's that I really liked(though extremely harsh IMO) and under some of the b & w's. How big is too big?

And then YOU can add teh boost

Probably. They are pretty price fixed, so all published will be the same. The C4 is 4x that though.

I managed to get my C4 so hot that the glass on the thermometer shattered. It also burned the edges on the gasket I have which has a melting point of 1500F. It won't stay that hot that long though.

Look up the miniFonken's. I think those are too small, near field office monitors though they would be perfect for.

Budget?

that name is too awesome when combined with the cities name. I don't know if I mentioned it but the lawyer that I'm working against in my mothers case is Hitler. rofl

The first pic I posted of myself on this site was me holding a halved pig up.

Not sure, I didn't have internet this weekend as the inlaws farm isn't exactly in urban America. Hell at home we got fiber optic lines to every house in town. It was an rural development grant to give people actual internet rather than 33.6k dial up NICE! 33.6 makes me want to cry. I remember back in my 14.4 days.... I never had to experience 14.4, my friends had 28.8 since their phone lines were so crappy. Ha, my first modem was 300baud

And Goat Ropers is in Farming, MN. Fucking hilarious.

Only seen that when I butcher my own pig. I could call a processor though and ask. Peps Pork is right next to my inlaws and who I'd call. I currently buy their pork sausage as well as you can't get shit in the city that compares. That may change though as I am going up to the Goat Ropers Sausage tasting. Central MN is definitely where to find teh sausage around here.

I have Mesquite and Hickory for when I need penetration. Chunks will help, but if you are a deep smoke nut then a non-fruit wood will give you more bite. Having the meat really cold when it goes on helps too. Once it is above 90 deg or so it really doesn't absorb smoke and at that point you are just smoking to develop bark.

How have you already had them? I am a sucker for pan searing and making some sort of sauce, so I don't step out of that a whole lot but there are a ton of ways to sauce them.

I'll find out Thursday though
