    Prayers For Jake

    Wondering how you made out today. I also see you have some Cresco stuff in the home cabinet. Wondering how you like it. I quit smoking twenty years ago, after our first was born, after doing it every day for nearly twenty years. Anyway, I own some Cresco stock.....just wondered how their...

    Prayers For Jake

    Morning Jake. I hope you got some sleep, and were able to keep some of that fine grub down. Can't believe that meal hasn't made the carousel here. If you find a nurse with a sense of humor, see if they can explain just what in hell a gray condiment kit is! (Bottom of last night's meal...

    Not new, just finally coming back home...

    You had just made mod, if I remember correctly. We're minus a few that you would recall, but the SMF spirit remains the same. Welcome back.

    Kiln wood or not ?

    I get 4/4 kiln dried from the local mill ($30 for a good sized trailer load). I start the stick burner with small splits of that and then go to air dried, larger sticks of whatever 's on hand. The apple's about gone, so it's cherry and maple for a while. The same laws that cover firewood for...

    Cancelled BBQ and depression.

    I had my heart set on mowing and doing a rack of ribs Sunday, but it rained, the kids skidaddled, and the rack of bb's had become iffy. I already had the stick burner going so opened the cc door to view the glow of the fire, had a few PBRs and watched the day go down.....was treated to a number...

    First time Cornell Chicken?

    It used to be the halves were not marinated, but heavily mopped at each flip. (I think Steve H had some pics of the racks used in these parts.) So with every other flip, the meat side is down, and the bone side serves as a cradle for all that vinegary goodness. That said, for the last several...

    What to do with chicken legs ?

    Caribbean jerk sauce, homemade and on the pasty side, has been my go to for smaller chicken cuts for the last year or two. Gallon zip lock overnight, smoked on a stick burner....awesome. Really, you don't like garlic?

    Sorry got to vent somewhere

    I've been selling on eBay for 25 years, so I've seen a lot of shady stuff. Two thoughts come to mind. The guy got your seventy bucks and tossed the sticks, or he's reselling them. Find out where and buy a pair back. If they're on eBay, you've got a name and address. Then use the internet...

    I've Died And Gone To Bacon Heaven!!! Baconnaise

    Or something akin to Alabama white sauce on the chicken? Just gotta watch the flare ups. Sounds like a good experiment next weekend.

    Help with these steaks

    If those are the only two, and they look damn good, you'd be doing them a favor by dropping the wife off, going home, cracking a cold one, and cooking them however you please. How you gonna feed a party with two steaks? They're not loaves and fishes......unless you're.....

    Got Her Out And Took Her For A Ride

    Whenever the subject of smoker builds comes up among friends I try to find pictures of that one. Finally got it bookmarked. I joined about the time you were building it, if I remember correctly.....still love it, and glad you didn't paint it. There was debate at the time. Sorry it had to...

    Recteq 1250 WiFi problem

    Glad you got it fixed Al. When I have tech problems, I go get the neighbor kid. I think he's twelve. I can withstand the judgy look, and it keeps my blood pressure in check.

    Special Today - Cheap!

    Ray, I'm going to take it there was a complaint somewhere along the line? If it was so, I don't see any to give offense, and I've followed along since you started this. Why the reluctance to continue?
