Ok, so for months Eric has been talking about getting a charcoal smoker for the house. We went to the American Royal back in October (the world's largest barbecue competition), and saw hundreds of teams basting, grilling, smoking and creating all sorts of deliciously barbecued meats and sides.

Santa, It’s a Long Story
It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas at our house!
