    Moose Knoll Farm

    Well, folks, I stayed home today to get things done outside. Have been working betwixt the raindrops and it looks like photo ops will be at a minimum. Really do not want to take pics of soaking wet critters. Another day soon. Dutch, yellow pages........ I would if I could but I can't so I...

    Moose Knoll Farm

    Here's a small update from Moose Knoll Farm. First the bad news...Curly did not make it and we had to put him down last month. He developed a problem which we could not handle and we did the humane thing.  Now some better news. We attended the fortieth anniversary gathering of our graduation...

    Opinions needed

    Congratulations on your good fortune! Just one propane tip....spare tank....spare tank....spare tank. I used to be a single tanker. One Sunday afternoon many years ago I took an embarrassing hit with about twenty guests and a dead grille. Made it through with a neighbor's generous loan of her...

    New to the site

    Good move, Jeremy! Keep those ladies happy and you'll be well rewarded. They might even keep you around for a bit!  Welcome to the SMF! Good to finally have some of my family brought into my surrogate family. Great bunch of folks here and more info than one person could possibly contain. Enjoy...

    Qview of Yardbird and some riblets

    Nicely done. Yep, and chicken on the bottom from me, too!  Excellent appearance and I am sure the whole shebang disappeared in a hurry! We are raising our own chickens and have about fifteen in the "freezer camp" right now. More going to camp this afternoon. Last batch was fryers and hopefully...

    Smoked Lamb Shank! QVIEW

    Great job, CJ! Did you mop at all? And when you foiled to rest it did you place any liquid in with it? We are just about ready to bucher our first lamb from the farm. Maybe two if it does not sell. Really looking forward to smoking our own lamb as we both enjoy the unique flavor. Twice a week...

    Egg Recall

    Well, folks, it has been a while since I been around and it seems that I must contrubute to a subject near and dear to me. First of all, and this is just my two cents, any carrying on and commenting here in the forum is just plain lost. Why not write, email or call the show's producer when you...

    Moose Knoll Farm

    Thanks for the good words, guys! And yes, Jerry, it takes a lot of time. Some days I feel my paying job gets terribly in the way. Cannot wait till the place gets on a break even point. That's when I'll pull my plug from the mainstream "work for pay" habit. Dutch, with any luck we will have some...

    Moose Knoll Farm

    Here's  an update on the Moose Knoll Farm. First, I will introduce the last of the current round of lambings: I present Sophie and Guido at eight days of age. Guido has the white spot on his head. These are the last two lambs we will name. From herein they will be named by their farm number...

    what type plywood for a smoke house?

    I do not believe that at the normal smoke temps we deal with that the glues will affect food quality or safety. For the most part the walls exposed to heat and smoke will be solid wood covering the glue/resin/goop that holds plywood together. My suggestion would be as stated previously to use...

    Unexpected Benefit

    During my limited play time in the sandbox I did note that the new platform is far more friendly to my snail paced dial up connection. Tonight I am logged on at 26.4 KBPS and the Huddler site is moving smooth as butter. Hope it stays this way! Otherwise I have not found any problems or...

    First lamb smoked and first lamb tried

    Just a little hint on rolling a boneless leg of lamb. You can buy butcher's mesh, I think that's what it is called, from most any place that sells sausage making and/or butcher supplies. There is also an applicator tool available. The mesh works better at keeping the meat together and usually...

    Democrats for Guns!

    Yup! It sure is nice to live in Vermont. We have a reputation of being perhaps the most constitutionally correct state in the union. The legislature has tried to impose a few restrictions here and there and most usually the next ballot box takes care of that problem and the person behind it...

    Census.....

    OK, Folks! Back on topic. The present administration has nothing to do with the census process. It is law that the census must be taken every ten years. Whoever happens to be president at that time is responsible for making it happen no matter how misguided he may appear to be in some folks...

    Census.....

    Well, folks, just so ya know the mods have been watching this forum and so far it seems to have been a rather interesting discourse on a rather touchy subject. To everyone's credit it has remained civil; certainly a major plus for the fine folks on this forum. I, too, have seen discussions...
