atd,
You're absolutely right!
Sitting there for 7-8 hours firing a pit in July, even at night, and you don't even want a sandwich when its done. We ran a batch of ten on Dec23 and Dec24, but only one batch July3. Less demand then and I don't think Daddy could have made us run a second batch anyway. Smoke,skeeters, heat... might be the only day of the year that a salad looked better than a bbq sandwich!
