    Propane Smoker in a Wood Enclosure/Smoke House

    Many of these units don’t have a thermocouple to shut off the gas if the flame goes out. Inside of a box, well you can imagine the rest. Get the right fuel/air mixture, relight it, and it could level your house.

    I figured I should give a follow up since I posted it in the open forum (prostate biopsy)

    Besides cancer, the other anomaly that can be detected with checkups is an enlarged prostate. When they become enlarged enough, they can raise the dickens with all kinds of functions. I went through four TURPs, two biopsies, and three Urologists that my PSA of 17 scared the heck out of them...

    D-day June 6 1944 never forget

    I‘m afraid you may not be the only person to realize this. At least you are aware of it. That matters.

    D-day June 6 1944 never forget

    I think one of the challenges between returning from WWII and Vietnam Nam was in WWII, it took months to get home on a ship. Guys had a chance to talk with each other and possibly begin a transition. They were welcomed home. In Vietnam Nam, you could be rotated out and home in a week on a plane...

    D-day June 6 1944 never forget

    My dad was in the Battle of the Bulge, grandpa lost a leg in WWI. Brother was in Vietnam Nam. We were in Washington DC and visited the memorials on this last Memorial Day and heard the speeches. It was very moving. All of the guys I worked with on helicopters were Viet Nam vets. I wish we had...

    I figured I should give a follow up since I posted it in the open forum (prostate biopsy)

    If you are over 40, and don't know what this means, get your butt to a urologist soon. More men die from prostate cancer than women from breast cancer. Why? Because men don’t go to the doctor for checkups. And the sad part is, it is very treatable. If you catch it early. There. I’ve used up my...

    Baby back ribs question(s).

    I think it all depends on the smoker you have. I have a vertical propane cabinet. The propane adds moisture plus I use a water tray. I start at 225 for an hour then bump up to 250, no wrapping. I spritz with apple juice after a few hours, and when the temp reaches around 200 I start probing. I...

    Looking for a simple Homemade BBQ Sauce

    I love Jeff’s sauce recipe. I add 1/4 cup of bourbon and Minute Maid apple juice to taste. I also use the full amount of molasses and cut the pepper to half. Make it at least a day in advance to let the flavors meld. I wash out the ketchup bottle and use it for the sauce.

    Water Filters with Chip

    Great. Just bought a GE yesterday. Eight people coming over for dinner Friday and the damn refrigerator chooses to die. Won’t be delivered until next week. Eight frikin years old. The garage refer is over twenty five and going strong. There is a reason old guys are grumpy.

    Too early for bourbon?

    I am happy to share. It is one I found, then modified. Bourbon makes any recipe better.

    Too early for bourbon?

    Assembled the smoked bourbon beans today and gave them a simmer. I’ll smoke them tomorrow. This will give them a day to meld before serving on Friday. They taste great even before smoking.

    Too early for bourbon?

    In our neck of the woods Black is just a few bucks more and I might slip in a sip or two.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
