    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...

    Hey cat people, I got a question

    Do you let your cat out over night ? My security cameras are picking up a cat in my backyard every night, between 1 am and 3 am. I'm thinking this has to be a feral cat. I can't imagine any pet owner letting the cat run the neighborhood all night ? Sunday evening, we sat on the patio and...

    Mounting a Kindling Cracker ?

    I've had mine on a stump for the past 6 years. But the stump has rotted. I can go get another one at the wood lot. But is there something better ?

    Troubleshooting a ceiling fan

    My Hunter ceiling fan refused to start. The light does not work either. Which tells me its not getting power. I checked the breakers. But there's little chance this fan is on a breaker by itself and there were no breakers closed. So I'm thinking possibly a loose wire. But I doubt...

    Cherry syrup on baby backs ?

    I'm smoking a couple racks of baby backs tomorrow. From watching Steven Raichlen's Planet Barbecue series last summer, he visited a joint in San Antonio that sprayed cherry syrup on their baby backs. Cherry on baby backs is right down my alley. I think cherry and baby backs are like...

    Cast iron pots ?

    I've dug out two cast iron pots my Dad used to fry catfish. He passed in 1996 and its been 30 years since these pots have been used. I'm thinking about using them to fry catfish and maybe some other uses on the smoker. Is there anything I need to do to them ? Hard to get good pics, but...

    What are you reading ?

    I just started this 750 pg behemoth. It will take a while to get through it. Its by Max Hastings, a Brit historian, who as a young man reported from Vietnam for the BBC. I thought a view of the war from a non American source might be interesting. I turned draft age in the latter stage of...

    Direct High Heat Yardbird on the WSM

    This is the best way I've found to smoke chicken. Took water pan and lower grate out of the 18 WSM that I bought in 2002 and still turning out good cooks. Used a chimney and 1/2 of fully lit B&B Oak Lump. And a small split of pecan. Been a while since I measured temps, but it should...

    The cilantro conundrum ?

    I just helped my cilantro get through a couple of nights with over night lows around zero degree. I covered it with leaves, then soaked the entire bed, and then put Agribon row cover over the top. Its now uncovered and appears to be doing fine. But I've got other cilantro plants that I...

    Chili using pork ?

    I have a lot of rib and butt trim in my freezer that I need to use. I'm not into making sausage yet, so I'm thinking I put it on the smoker and then put it in chili ? I've got about 6#'s that after I trim off the fat, will probably be 3 or 4# . Or should I mix some beef in ?

    Vortex wings on the 26 Kettle

    I foil around the vortex when grilling wings. I redo this about every 2nd or 3rd cook. Not only does it keep the bottom of the Kettle clean, it redirects air flow right up through the bottom of the vortex. I'd like to find a way to make this easier. I searched for large pizza pans...
