    propane vs electric

    Yep on the 4.25 gals. Just rounding off and trying to point out something didn't appear right in Quiglay's post. Around here propane is selling in the $2-$2.25/gal range. Electric about $.07/kwh.

    propane vs electric

    Ya need to remember you don't fill a propane tank full, only 80%. Those small tanks only take 4 gal. Using the link I posted earlier and using your figures for energy cost, for an equal amount of energy, it's almost a dead heat with the propane being slightly lower in cost.

    Magnets on the fire box??

    Magnets and heat are not friends. Type of magnetic material and temp being dealt with will determine how detrimental the heat is to a particular magnet. My suggestion is to select carefully.

    sauces & rubs and diabeties

    All I can say if I don't want that fella as my Dr. Don't see how fried foods can raise blood sugar if it doesn't have any carbohydrates in it. Not all diabetics take insulin. Only type 1's and a small percentage of type 2's. Most diabetics are type 2's. Type II diabetes is a more complex...

    Pizza

    Double dittos on that. No way could that be a store bought pizza. To get back on topic, our local Papa Murphy's, take n bake pizza shop, for a couple summers you could often find a grill outside the store and giving away samples.

    sauces & rubs and diabeties

    Was away yesterday. Debi, thanks for your link. They Zylotol is sugar alcohol. Doesn't count for diabetes but a lot of folks can't handle it. Plays hell with their disgestive system. Debi, it's carbohydrate intake that Diabetics have to what out for. Total carb intake should be limited to...

    propane vs electric

    Not at home right now so I'm pulling this out of the old gray matter so I could be off some. Propane has ~93k BTU's/gal and for electric, a typ heater of 1500W is ~3500BTU's. You can also use this site to compare fuel cost. http://www.pelletheat.org/3/residential/compareFuel.cfm For this...

    sauces & rubs and diabeties

    Hey I'm just a newbie, 5 yrs. The wife takes care of me food wise. In the 5 yrs the worst my A1c reading has been is 6.1, barely above normal range. I suspect as time marches on it will get harder to keep my glucose level in check. Have a BIL with diabeties and doesn't try and control his...

    sauces & rubs and diabeties

    Monty, sounds like you just might be a diabetic yourself or have someone in the family that is. Thanks for the offer to look. I'd given Splenda some thought but didn't think the rub would turn out anywhere near the same on the finished meat. If it was just the sweet I'd likely use Stevia but...

    sauces & rubs and diabeties

    Wonder if anyone has a suggestion or receipes more suitable for diabetics that the ones heavy in sugar? Something that would give somewhat similar results. Loves Jeff's rub but any receipe heavy in sugar it not good for my health or any diabetic for that mater. One batch of the rub has about...

    Apple wood vs. cherry wood

    I'm also a fan of Apple and Cherry. I enjoy the flavor but having both typs of trees on the place which may have something to do with my preference. Got a big Oak out back but have not used it for smoking, my bad. Hickory is not a native wood in these parts but I do know of 2 homes in the...

    paper shell eggs

    Not sure about steroids as the cause of thin shells. We no longer raise chickens but there is a big diff in the qlty. If you ever read the grading stds you'll soon note the typ egg from a store isn't grade A, no matter what the carton says. Wonder what the chance of not getting fresh eggs are...

    Garden is still producing

    Decent looking pickles. Nice seeing someone else putting pickles up already sliced. If weather cooperates and things are normal, we've got about 4 weeks before first frost might hit.

    Thanks for the pic FBJ, always wondering what TBS actually looks like according to the experts here. Looks like I've been in the ball park all along.

    Beef Quiz

    Got 90% correct but I'm not sure if I'm happy about that. Why should I have known what was happening in the middle ages? I'm not that old, really.

    Good eats tonight

    Thanks gypsy. Momma says there is a pork shoulder in the freezer. When I look into the ole crystal ball, I can see that shoulder in the smoker in a few days. Gotta make some room as we have a side of beef going in the freezer in a few weeks.

    wood pellets

    Speaking about Treager smoking pellets, 100% hardwood pellets, no filler or binders. Convientional heating pellets are typ made from soft woods like fir, at least around here. Softwood isn't typ used for smoking. Personally I'd not use heating pellets for smoking. YMMV
