    Anyone else make aged eggnog?

    Yep, hers is 3 years old, and according to her, still going strong.

    Post your favorite knife!

    I have a little pen knife that belonged to my grandfather. He was born around 1900, I think. He joined the army and managed to get to France just before the Armistice in 1918. I'd share a pic, but it's packed away somewhere. About 2-1/2" closed. Something every kid carried back then, and no one...

    Anyone else make aged eggnog?

    A friend in my local pub makes aged eggnog. I think she once told me she's aged it for up to 2 or 3 years? I'll have to ask her next time we meet. But since I'm not an eggnog fan to begin with, that's one I'll pass on.

    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    I know when I go to the grocery store, the first area I cruise is the discount meat bin. Usually I will balk at even the discounted prices on beef.

    Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

    It's been my experience that Costco bourbons are usually made by 1792.

    Latest Bacon Project

    Not to mention the slicing. I've started doing it this way also, as curling the half-frozen slabs into a "C" was getting old.

    Maiden voyage of the 120 gallon beast.

    That smoker is a beaut! And I like the man-cave also.

    Amazingly enough, my wife does listen to me

    Huh. I haven't seen one. So, if it's connected to the side, I assume the heat won't be so high? Can you use it to smoke bacon?

    Remembering 9/11

    I was driving to a transit center to catch my commuter bus, and listening on the radio to these 2 local shock-jocks talking about a plane hitting the WTC. These guys had a reputation for pulling stupid practical jokes, and I was thinking how dumb this was, and that it wasn't funny at all, so I...

    Remembering 9/11

    I saw this on a sign the other day. "When you remember what happened on 9/11, also remember who we became on 9/12."

    Not Feeling the Cherry Love...

    Ok, to each their own. But if that were true, why wouldn't we all just be using one type of wood for everything? Why would pellet companies sell several different types and proprietary blends? It would be like saying all wine comes from grapes, therefore all wine tastes the same.

    Not Feeling the Cherry Love...

    I disagree with most of Meathead's opinions, and this is one of them. Every smoking wood brings its own subtle flavors to the party. There was a time when I could identify what wood was burning by the smoke smell alone. Try smoking a rib roast with just cherry and see how much difference there...

    What's going on with delivery companies?

    I used to service the lighting for several UPS distribution centers in the greater Seattle area. I can attest that I would occasionally find a package wrapped in Xmas paper that had fallen under the belts, the next Spring.

    What's going on with delivery companies?

    I wrote recently in a Recteq thread that my driver came several days early with my new smoker, catching me completely by surprise when he called me at work one morning to say he was at my condo building door with it sitting out front on a pallet. I had no prior notice that he would be there, and...

    From Commercial Freezer to Commercial Smoker

    Ovens are usually wired for 240v., also. Something to keep in mind.

    Can't believe it - never used Cimarron

    Anyone know the name of this type of grill?

    We have them in WA state, both national and state parks. They might pull them during fire season. Also in the city park 1/2 mile from me. I remember we burned some hot dogs in one of those when my son was playing Little League.

    Not Huli Huli Wings

    Dang, Disco. Now I remember why I missed you so much. I'm going to give that a try sometime soon.

    A Cow, a Pig, and a Chicken walk into a bar …

    They need to make something to unjam augers, like those hex wrenches for garbage disposals.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
