To prevent the sandwich from falling apart, I use a double spatula. Also, I use a George Formann grill instead of a skillet. Both sides get grilled at the same time, no need to turn. If you think you're finished, you! really! are! finished!! -Original Message- From: Kimber

In your message, you say, "I have never seen a click smoker and I love it". How can you love something you've never seen? Anyway, I have a Brinkmann Sportster electric smoker, and it sure is a great way to make neighbors' mouths water when they get a bit of that smoke drifting toward them

This is why we should not be sending vague messages. When asking about the device, she did not give any clue other than the fact that she may be misspelling it. No name was given. How are we supposed to deduce what she is asking about without some indication as to what she is looking for?
