Yes, certainly for guys that enjoy the whole grilling experience, it's not the way to go.
But for lazy guys like me, who don't want to tend the smoker for 6-8 hours cooking some ribs, it's a life saver.

I opt for the UDS, I find that I have achieved the perfect balance between absolute lazy and constant tending to the fire. Heavy on the lazy with a pinch of fire tending to warrant the need to stay close and drink.😉
Here is a photo from the last 4th.

WHOA !!! ... Didn't say a Peanut was good for every task or that I'd be using it to dress deer or filet a whale on Sunday

EDIT: Thing about the Peanut is that while I don't usually find it inadequate at all in my retired endeavors,
it's that the Peanut is annoyingly small for my normal carry !!! ... so now I have a full size Sod Buster in my pocket
... I tried

Didn't say you did, just that there are some who feel that way. (dressing a deer and/or filleting a whale may be an exception, even to them.)

I couldn't agree with you more that the peanut (and similar size knifes, irregardless of pattern) is annoyingly too daRn small.
Personally, I won't carry, and hence won't buy anything smaller than a 3.125 inch two blade Barlow. (I prefer the 3.25 and 3.375 inch two blade Barlow) Still mighty daRn small, but the handle shape lets you obtain a good grip. 😁 The under 3 inch knives that have been gifted to me, have in turn been given to someones who likes tiny. 😊
They agreed to the stipulation that if they ever got rid of it, they wouldn't sell the knife, but gift it to someone. 👍

I don't think I've seen anyone on this forum say that Peanut was good for every task. I've seen several say that a Peanut is good for every EDC task for someone living in an urban environment, making allowances for people who do specialized tasks that require something other than a Peanut. Honest, my Peanut could probably do about 99.9% of what I need to do with a pocket knife, and 90% of what I need to do with any knife. I have fixed blade knives, cooking knives, even box cutters for those other tasks. I own and carry other pocket knives because I like them, not necessarily because I need them.

Having ended the experiment and going back to my sinfull ways as an incurable knife knut, I have my daily rotation with me. In addition to my ever present Wenger SI in its belt pouch with the LED light, I have my old yellow peanut back in my right pocket. My classic is back on my keyring, and I feel like all is back as it should be. And in memory of my dear old Uncle Paul, I even tucked a very old Christy knife in my tobacco pouch, just in case.

What are you guys carrying today?

Just my Trooper kershaw. I use it as my kilt blade. Usually I have my buck style on my belt with my hidden buckle knives as backup. Both are punch blades that eject from the sides of my buckle. While mentioning that I realized I have that very buckle on today as well.

Awesome covers, and if I remember right isn’t that your favorite shield? I hope you had a great time in and around the Lou. I’m a little jealous.

Thanks Jon. We didn’t actually make it to the city but we had a great time.
The hotdog is definitely one of my top three. Isn’t it in everybody’s top three? “Hail to the Hotdog!”
🤣🤣🤣

Early morning with my olive 77 and camp muk while going all out (for me) on breakfast for the family on my griddle.

Thanks, Todd. It was delicious. Although I was wondering if it would be as good at home or if it’s just because we are camping 😁

I haven’t camped as much as I’d like to in the last several years, but it was always my opinion that everything tastes better when you’re camping. Dutch ovens are great. In the fall I cook outside at home a lot and I use my Dutch ovens. They are my “crockpot for men.” 😄
