Hi Danny, Foamheart, Everyone. Friday's the day to take them out (day 14) I have noticed that the brine has gone a little gelatinous the smell is fresh and clean, with no off smells, I've read a similar post and the replies were that it's OK to proceed.
Thanks for the advice, Foamheart I think I'll build a wooden box for the burner and connect it to my blue butt, I wanted to keep the temperature as low as possible. The hood / roof idea is a good one, it can be used to maneuver the basket box easier as well. We had a cold spring so the Toms are a bit behind, my dads got his 3rd truss set now and there beginning to pick up.
Glad to hear your wife is home and Ok Danny, and your doin some smokin.
thanks guys
Gary
