    2nd build. Guess I'm hooked

    So I really need to stay off Facebook marketplace. I stumbled across this beauty and snagged it for $75. It is fully complete. The guy sold it because the compressor died. It is a Firestone, which I've never seen. No O'Dea on year yet. My first build thread is here somewhere. It was a...

    Turkey Fryer help

    That is kind of what I was thinking too. Aluminum is reactive. For frying turkeys who cares cause it's oil. But I do a lot of crawfish boils and the seasoning and lemon isn't really good for aluminum over time.

    1940 GE Fridge Build

    I bought all the vents. They were galvanized so I soaked them in vinegar overnight to strip them. The insulation I bought is heat rated.

    Smoking in a snow storm

    Well we made sausage and dad didnt have enough room. So I got the overflow. 6-15 inches forecast but the wind is right so I'm running a batch. An hour on coals only to dry then I'll add the wood.

    Digital meat thermometer recommendations

    Bluetooth sucks. Range is the problem. So you have to get one with a remote or one that can do wireless to an app on your phone. My dad and I both have the inkbird irf-4s. Amazon is the only place I found it with 4 probes. Inkbird only sells with 2 and you have to order the other 2. The 1500ft...
