    MySpace

    I know this may be a long shot, or maybe just shot down before. But have we discussed starting a myspace page. Maybe a couple people to keep it updated. Plus the way it keeps all your friends posted, more people will be able to see the group and learn more about us. Just my .02.

    Earthquake

    Okay everyone. If you don't know,there was an earthquake this morning. I just thought that I could get some help here to see how far it was felt. It was centered near the Indiana, Illinois border. Who felt it, who didn't?

    Funny but Sad. But definitly eligible for the Darwin awards.

    Man in Missiouri charge for possible murder of his wife. Apparently was installing a new sattelite(sp?) and wanted to run it through the roof. He took a hand gun with him and fired 2 rounds down to run the cables. Apperently killing his wife. Again, you have to laugh at his stupidity, but I'm...

    Need some more help please.

    Okay, I'm still working on my fridge conversion. I finally found expanded metal for the grates themselves. But I was wondering if aluminum is safe? I can't weld, so it will be all nuts and bolts. Mainly worried about health concerns and structural integrity.

    Need some help please.

    Okay, I've got an old fridge gutted out and about to start rebuilding it into a gas smoker. I'm going to use an old turkey fryer burner for heat. Similar to the Afterburner. But I need help with the racks. I saw at Home Depot that there are chrome plated racks that are replacement parts for some...

    Bad news, good news, better news.

    Bad news first. My fridge went out. Good news, got another one for $100. Better news, I'm turning the old one into a smoker. Here's the problem. It's a side by side. I figure I can use the freezer side for a smoke chamber of some sort, but I definitely need to limit the size of the inside. Maybe...

    Is this strange?

    So is it wrong to start smoking turkey at 6am? The deal is that I work nights, and got off at 5am. I've been working a lot of extra days, and haven't had time to do any smoking. I guess I needed a smoke fix. My girlfriend thinks its strange, and wanted some other opinions if this is natural or...

    Two Blondes.

    Okay, I heard this at work tonight, and felt I needed to share it. I hope nobody get offended. There are two blondes going landscaping work for a company in a park. One blonde is digging a hole, while the other is filling the hole back in at the same time. A gentleman walks over to them and...

    Just a though

    Okay everyone, I've got a big gathering coming up, and I'm cooking the meat. Fuuuunnnnnn. I'm happy about it, but I'm also expected to put the "Dominic twist" on things. Normally good, right? Here's the question, has anyone soaked pork steaks in apple cider for a flavor twist. Besides just...

    Beautiful Sunday

    It's a beautiful Sunday outside. I've got a fatty and a bisket rolled fatty on the smoker. Short track NASCAR racing on the TV. If I didn't have to go into work tonight, I'd have a beer in my hand. Well, I guess I couldn't have a perfect day, now could I.

    I missed gold digger's day

    Today was big trash pickup day in my town and I missed it. It was supposed to be prefect for getting all types of parts. Early May, people getting new grills for the summer. Perfect right? The only problem is that I had knee surgery yesterday. I missed all the good stuff today. My wife was...

    Sweet gum?

    Hey everyone. I read the sticky and saw that you can use gum trees for smoking. My question is does that include sweet gum. You know, the ones with the irritating spiney balls that hurt everyone's feet.

    Wabbit

    Okay, first I want to say I'm not a hunter. But I don't mind free meat from my family that does. Nothing personal to anyone by any means at all. My butcher has rabbit and so does the local farmers market. I really want to try it in a version other than stew. It's not freshly caught. Some...

    Set a record?

    SO, who here wants to break the forum record of 70 people logged in at once? Maybe all of us login on Saturday morning before the cooking begins. Not for any real reason, just something to do. Maybe even get some more members from it also.

    How long?

    Approximately how long is enough for an 8 oz block of store bought cheese? I've gone as long as 2 hours without much melting. Can I cut back on the smoke time and still get the same flavor, or should I try a different approach?
