    8 Year Old Smokes Again - Chicken Legs

    New from Wisconsin

    Man I miss visiting Wisconsin. Did a lot of good camping there. Wandered the eskers in Kettle Moraine and been to a Door County fish boil. Those people know something about bratwurst, and beer.

    The X-Fire Grill

    Sometime when it's up to temp it would be interesting to shoot it with an infrared camera to see where the outside hot spots are.

    How much does it cost to cook on a stick burner?

    It's very easy to carry a bow saw in your vehicle. They're light and flat. Some of the smaller hook-shaped folding saws are sweet; they pack well. Nice to have when wood-gathering opportunities (actual windfalls) might arise, or if you need to cut fallen wood just to clear your way.
