Outside of meat dries out very fast on offset
Pics of any sort will be helpful for diagnostics.. I especially would like to see how your fire looks in the box and know if you are pre-heating your splits before they go in. I'm gonna tag @daveomak since he knows a lot about offsets. Personally I never ran into the problem of drying anything...- pit 4 brains

Propane leak
Why not connect it back up, check for leaks then, if there's none, continue as normal until the propane is used up? From wham I'm reading it leaks when disconnected from any appliance, so If it's connected and doesn't leak it will be safe to use. It more than likely has a bad Schrader valve and...- pit 4 brains

Propane leak
So i'm understanding it leaks without being attached to anything? If it's one of the small camping type cylinders, I'd put it on whatever you use it for, run it dry then refill or replace it. I have one I've been refilling for years and it does the same thing. I just keep my torch attached to it...- pit 4 brains

What is a simple or ordinary thing that you can't do well.
Send me an XL spreadsheet and I'll send you back a puter file of scrambled eggs. I can't figure out how a one inch space can fit a laundry list of info.- pit 4 brains

You can try spicy bird seed. Mammals react badly to capsaicin but birds are not affected by it. Planting peppers like habaneros or jalapenos help too.- pit 4 brains

Chewy bacon
You got the good info here. All I can add is do a few more bellies, use one standard (like Pop's brine)try different methods of restin / drying and slicing. Take notes of what you've done. Lastly, don't compare your bacon with the store bought stuff. Thanks for reminding me, I have two bellies...- pit 4 brains

another rabbit hole!
I'm in this boat... I bottled my "sauce" at just below a simmer into boiled bottles so I know it's sterile. Now, being my first go around at bottling, I tried some of both and they are really good. I let them set for a week and then some and here's what I have.- pit 4 brains

Irrigation for raised beds
Soaker hose and simple elbows, tees and caps can make for a very custom setup. Finding some bulk hose instead of the hoses with fittings will be a good step since you'll want to cut it to custom lengths to fit your garden and branch out to drip near the plants. They also are easily removed...- pit 4 brains

Dang Squirrels
Squirrels need to eat. Feed them regularly to earn their trust then give them a little dietary supplement to help them sleep. Hopefully you can remove them from their resting place before they stink. I put raw peanuts in a feeder out on my back fence. I have no intention of eliminating the...- pit 4 brains

Blackstone Griddle has arrived!!!
Hit the nearest Goodwill or whatever thrift shop. Any decent metal lid will work as long as it has the height and diameter to cover the grub. You're gonna love that griddle! Take your time seasoning.. Clean the griddle very well with soap and water then clean it again. I suggest no less than 5...- pit 4 brains

Got me a new smoking buddy
It's all fun and games until that claw comes from under a door after your sock which is attached to your foot. Our former cat Tom Thumbs would jump up on our backs and sit on our shoulders. It didn't hurt when he was a kitten but I'm glad he gave up the habit.- pit 4 brains
