    Used Green Mountain Jim Bowie?

    She smoked like a dream tonight, I removed all the pellets from the hopper, and vacuumed out the auger as best I could. Hoping to remove any lodged pellets from the drive home. Set it at 375 after start up, and in roughly 12 minutes it was to temp. Held great, and produced some tasty chicken...

    Used Green Mountain Jim Bowie?

    Has the newer SS, cam with a new in the package cover, and all the books. This thing is immaculate! He was asking $750 OBO, and I got it for substantially less. I didn't have time to test it, but he said he would take it back if I'm not happy. Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

    Used Green Mountain Jim Bowie?

    I'm headed to look at one. It's a 15 model, with WiFi. Used very little, from the pics I would call good to excellent condition. What are some things to check on? Fair price? This will be my first pellet grill/smoker. Thanks, Nathan Sent from my SM-G900R4 using Tapatalk

    I need to build me a butcher shop!

    I'm just north of Fairfield. Will be sure to let you know if I ever have to much meat. Funny story... When I worked at the locker some family friends always had 1 and 1/2 steers and 3 hog butchered every year. I noticed they had several freezer locker spaces rented and looked into it, they had...

    I need to build me a butcher shop!

    Yeah... heck of a problem! I've called coolbot (great customer service) I might go that route, but my HVAC guy is working on getting a cooler unit on the cheap. Just need to bite the bullet! Nathan

    I need to build me a butcher shop!

    Wood moisture content

For firewood I like to get the moisture content below 25% (depending on species) Oak and Mullberry take a long, LONG time to season down to that point. (I...
