    I need a tire inflator

    I bought the B&D. Paying almost double for Dewalt quality just did not set with me. But I bought from Home Depot. Same price as Amazon. And it was free delivery, tomorrow. Since I'm not a Prime member, Amazon free delivery was next Monday. I'm finding more options than Amazon...

    I need a tire inflator

    My little air compressor went kaput. I used it as a tire inflator. So now I'm shopping for a tire inflator. I'm caught between Dewalt and B&D. I have the 20V batteries for both. I really like the cordless idea, its been a PITA to drag an extension cord around to run my air compressor...

    I asked Bing AI for the history, using the tail markings ............ Certainly! The Douglas C-47 Skytrain, also known as the Dakota (RAF designation), is a military transport aircraft developed from the civilian Douglas DC-3 airliner. It played a crucial role during World War II and was...

    Great pics, the food is also interesting. We've got a C-47 in a city park near Tinker AFB, its in Midwest City, an OKC suburb. I stumbled on it last year going to look at some smoker wood. Douglas built the C-47's at Tinker, among other places. My Mother worked there during the war as a...

    Does Dirty Smoke Truly Equal Bad BBQ?

    There's so many different aspects about this subject, I think a small book could be written. But bottom line = no one can answer your question. Its all about what you like and you have to find that out for yourself. TBS has been the standard for as long as I can recall. There's hard...

    I don't doubt that. I thought my MB560 was a rib cooking machine.

    And so it begins

    Well, I've done very well with my tomatoes for a lot of years. Where do you get the idea I stress them until they get leaf roll. You really have no idea what I do or how much I water my plants. I know how to plant tomatoes. My Dad taught me that 40 years ago, but I sure appreciate...

    Exactly, the stressed plant is thinking survival. But plants won't produce fruit when temps get above 90*. The heat causes blossom drop. Its a thing, google it. I grow indeterminate plants, have for the past 20 years. The facts are, if the heat doesn't get them the blight will. My...

    And so it begins

    Probably the most knowledgeable tomato gardener I've ever ran across, would not water her tomatoes any more than to keep them alive. She said it stressed them, and when they got stressed they put on more fruit. She also said if ya water too much, the tomatoes will be watery and it weakens...

    Yeah, but my tomato growing season will be over by the Fourth of July. When daytime temps get over 90, the plants go through " blossom drop " and quit producing.

    I also add chunks to the firebox of my Assassin about that often, every 15 to 30 minutes.

    New Masterbuilt Gravity models coming

    On my 560, I got a better burn from wood in the ash pan by suspending on expanded metal, that was resting on a fire brick broken in half. Getting the wood up out of the ash and where more air can get around it, helped a lot. And I added wood about every 15 to 30 minutes to the ash bin. I...
