  Nothing is really that similar to the Laphroaig TCP/medicinal character, Ardbeg has it a bit but more muted. You can't really go wrong with anything from Bruichladdich.

  Oh yeah, I get it. They're just pretty grim. Everyone is just trying to pay off their place as quick as possible (which for a lot of people I know was about 10 years) but it's a pretty big slog. There's new housing developments constantly popping up so the demand for workers in Luxembourg showed no sign of slowing (pre covid)

  My wife's from Metz and a lot of her friends and family live in and around Thionville and Hyange, they're pretty unremarkable towns but house prices are really expensive for the region because almost everyone who lives there works in Luxembourg.

  Definitely a good plan to learn how to do everything manually first so you don't end up spending money on the wrong thing.

  For low and slow you want to be using restaurant grade lump wood charcoal, the larger size makes them burn a lot more consistently for slow cooking. I use the big k ones that come in a box.

  This is truly incredible, first taste with no water, I can only describe it as a smoke bomb going off in your mouth. It almost evaporates on the tongue to fill your mouth with smoke, only thing I can compare it to is the thick chewy smoke of a full bodied cigar.

  A couple of teaspoons of water tames the smoke and brings out the peat, lots of dry fruit and spice. There is a hell of a lot going on. Really intrigued how this will open up in the next month.

  Another little point, I usually have to pick a couple of empty crisp packets, chicken boxes and other general crap out of my front garden every day plus sweep the path of all the dust, leaves etc every few days but since the road closed my front path looks just like it did when I cleaned it a couple of weeks ago. Pretty incredible to see in real time how much crap passing cars push out from the road.
