I have no use for it.:noidea:

The only thing it really seems like it would be good for is like a whole, big-assed brisket, that takes 16 hours er some shit? I ain't ever cooking that much brisket. And if I did, I'd just get up early af.

Again...certified pyro here. :biggrin:

Well I mean, you can get just as good of a result on a $50 little camp charcoal grill as a $2000 green egg if it's all just high heat and short cooks like steaks and burgers. I think pellets are good for people wanting to do some of that and some long cooks, but just don't have the patience to fuck around with it like it takes for sticks and charcoal. I get that some people like it and hell I do too if I got a buddy over and we're shooting the shit or something. I also ain't married and don't have little crotch goblins running around so going outside for peace and quiet isn't as tempting as it probably is for others .:laugh:

It took a bit to get it down, but now that I got it, it's not that much maintenance. Half a chimney of lump charcoal...couple a small splits to start....add a couple a small splits every hour or so.

Come to the conclusion that rental car employees are my least favorite of any industry. Of all my rentals, I’ve never once not been annoyed or ripped off.

I almost started a :lm: the last time I rented a car.

There were a grand total of three people waiting in line to rent a car when I got in line. There were two people at the rental booth processing the rentals. I stood there for a half hour and the line moved by 1 person. By then, there were about a dozen people behind me in line.

I engaged in some Bill Burr-esque ranting to my wife about the ridiculousness of how inefficient and antiquated rental car processes are in 2025 and I started riling up the folks around me. Everyone in line disgruntledly shared that they all had already reserved and paid for our rental vehicles and the rental company already had all of our information.

In 2025, we should be able to simply walk up to an unmanned kiosk, insert our drivers license and the kiosk spits out the key to the vehicle we reserved and we're on our way. The long lines should be for the retards who didn't plan ahead.

There were two people at the desk at PIE. One was “training”. Took a solid 15 minutes per person just to check in.

Once you checked in, you just sat there for another half hour before a “car was ready” and they called you up.

You then walk to the lot and there’s like 9 employees, with 3 each just sitting in each car moving them around. Like someone driving and two others just hopping in the back along for the ride doing nothing.

Took a solid 2 hours to serve six people at a tiny ass airport.

Oh and I reserved a full sized sedan, they gave me a VW Taos (which is fine… but the oil change message comes on whenever I turn on the car. Has 10k miles, so I guess it’s never been changed.)

Oh yeah, when I was processing my rental, they supposedly didn't have a car ready for me, but they reserved me a Kia Soul (despite me reserving a sedan - fine, whatever). The retard behind the counter told me to sit in the waiting area "for a couple minutes" until they called me up to grab the key. I sat there for another good half hour before busting my way back at the dude at the counter to inquire about my vehicle. During the time I was waiting, the tard gave the Soul to someone else and he had to re-process a different vehicle to me. (It turned out in my favor in the long run because I'd rather drive a 2025 Jetta than a Kia Soul, but the whole process was still irritating and ridiculous af.)
 
Oh, and the retarded dude behind the counter actually told the two young ladies in front of us in line when he was processing them that he was fired from his previous job for sexual harassment as he was flirting with these chicks.
 
What car rental companies were these with ll this waiting? I was a Hertz Gold customer, set up the rental and when I landed, I walked to the Hertz section, and there was a display with the names of customers and the number of the stall where their car was. I went to the stall, got in the car, and the keys and paperwork were there, and all I had to do was verify my identity and license to check out of the lot. Easy, peasy, took less than 10 minutes, and most of that was walking to the car and driving out of the lot.

My latest experience was in the Savannah/Hilton Head airport with Avis/Budget. I don't rent cars often enough to justify "premium" memberships with any rental car company.

It's ridiculous that rental car companies treat non-premium customers like South Park's depiction of cable company customer service.

Brother it doesn’t fucking matter. I’m avis preferred, hertz gold, budget fast break… all of them are trash.

The one rental experience I had that could almost be considered “okay” was some no name place in Orlando where an Indian dude was helping like six people at a time while some fat white lady was painting her nails with her feet on her desk and the lot dudes were all fast and the furious arabic dudes in track suits who were drenched in Walgreens cologne but still reeked of weed….only got overcharged by $7 there…basically a win.

I don't usually have a bad time getting my rentals. I'm not in any Gold clubs but we've used all different companies and I'm usually in and out in less than 20. The process is definitely quicker than it used to be.

The thing to keep in mind is that planes land and leave in bunches, so when your plane lands, there are a couple dozen others landing with passengers who also want to rent a car. Nothing you can do about the line, but from the time you get to the desk until you leave, it shouldn't be a half hour.
