I didn't work very hard on this one. I spent the morning at a church-sponsored turkey shoot and chili feed. Won a nice Buck knife in the shoot, the chili offerings were moose, moose, elk, and venison. You can tell it's hunting season in North Idaho. Poured myself a wee dram of this. I'm...

First of all, I'd like to thank again those who stressed the notion of physically blocking all doors that now open out into space, rather than relying just on a bunch of caution tape over them. It was too late do do anything about hard barriers like 2x4s, but I do now have furniture positioned...

I think we’re too far along to make changes now; demolition wrapped up today, construction starts next week with a lot of concrete footings getting poured. But we did a lot of due diligence; I think we’ll be happy with the results.

We're going with Timbertech Legacy composite, which sits somewhere towards the top of the many composite lines Timbertech sells. Using a fairly dark brown, to compliment the house and the railings we're getting. Reviews are good. We didn't go with PVC, partly due to price, partly because...

We're in Idaho, way up north in the Panhandle. Coeur d'Alene address, though that's Hayden Lake we overlook. The mountains for which Idaho is better known are on both sides and behind us, but it's fairly flat directly on the other side of the lake. We get a lot of bald eagles and osprey...

You're not wrong...it's just my wife and I here, and we haven't yet met anyone in-state with kids to come over, so there's that. All of the sliders do have a secondary security latch on the lower track, which is good. I'm familiar with the kid proof doorknob covers, but all of the doors have...

A big improvement will be the change from wood decking and rails, to composite decking and cable railings, so I won't have to re-stain everything every few years, and the thin cables will barely block any of the view. Plus, if if we get a heavy snowfall and I need to get weight off of the deck...

I see dark times ahead. No BBQ or grilling for two solid months. 😢 Our new (to us) house came with a deck in need of some serious work. That wasn't a surprise, but we eventually determined it was too far gone to fix, so a complete teardown and rebuild was required. That started two weeks...

I've never seen marbling like that on plate ribs--fantastic! And the plated shot is inspiring.

That’s very cool-chip clips had never occurred to me. I make toast tongs, which involve similar work, but like all of my projects it’s less artistic than yours.

I've no game pics to share, but I have started pheasant hunting again, for the first time in decades. I used to hunt them on the family farm in southern Idaho. Now that I'm up in the panhandle, I'm really north of their range, but Fish and Game is stocking some in a nearby wildlife management...

I've never connected mine. What problem is this trying to solve?

I only use a side probe, running through the grommet, for chamber temperature. My dome thermometer is the one that came from the factory, so I treat it like a "is this thing on?" indicator.

The ones from the west taste a little like blueberries. Tarter. Some say both sweeter and tarter, like a blueberry on steroids.

Love them huckleberries! Purple gold. I can see a huckleberry BBQ sauce working great with pork--I made a raspberry-habenero sauce this year that was out of this world on ribs. I need to try it with huckleberries. So far I've only made jam and syrup with them, but I do have a bunch in...

We've got some deck work underway, so I had to move our assortment of planter boxes and pots onto the driveway. We have a LOT of resident deer in the neighborhood--that's why we have to keep everything on the deck--so I figured some of the herbs would get devoured. I figured the peppers would...

That'll be a beast--it should serve you well! I would consider a longer standoff for the wooden handle, considering how hot the chimney will get in use--I'd worry about the wood starting to char.

Wow! Beautiful!

Very nice! Great cook and write-up

I just forwarded this to our daughters, who are planning a Halloween party. I think they are adding this to the menu!
