    Building a Smoker

    I'm sure it will work well for heat retention, but be careful working with the kaowool. I worked with it in the final filters for airbag inflators and it can be nasty stuff. It WILL irritate your skin and your respiratory tract. Pick up some disposable tyvek sleeves and gloves to wear while...

    Walkabout Mini-Fatties

    Maybe, you can try it again with a Tex-Mex fattie wrapped in a tortilla and fried. You can call it a fattichanga.

    Brisket rub recipes

    I did 2 12 lb packers using this recipe and spritzing with cherry juice, along with 3 pork shoulders and 8 racks of baby backs. My wife said that they were the best brisket she'd ever had. I've had several e-mails, facebook comments and phone calls from family members letting me know how good my...

    Smoked Stuffed Milk Fish (Bangus) Filipino Style

    It looks quite good, but wouldn't the foil keep the smoke from reaching the fish?

    So, what's cookin this weekend?

    Next weekend is 2 briskets, 3 butts, 8-10 racks BB, several fatties and some Dutch's Wicked Baked Beans. This weekend (Tuesday) I think I need to do a practice brisket. Maybe some practice fatties and some practice baked beans, too. I wouldn't want to mess up in front of friends and family, now...

    Over The Rainbow W/Qview

    I lived there 1 year and enjoyed Rudy's at least 2x a week while there. There's one just down the hill from you on Coors S of Alameda. I haven't had it since I started smoking, but remember it fondly. Quarters was by the Cottonwoods Mall (behind the credit union N of the Mall) and was awful. The...

    Over The Rainbow W/Qview

    I think if I squint really hard, I can almost see Rudy's. Nevermind, it was Quarters. I'm going to stop squinting now. That stuff is so bad it'll make you go blind.

    Halloween anyone?

    I'll be out on the driveway with a table set up to hand out candy. I'm bringing my Oklahoma Joe's vertical roaster out with me and will have a torso in it and a leg on the grill over the firebox. I'll run either my GOSM or MES behind it smoking some ribs. A plate of ribs, a plate of bones and a...

    Man thay are breeding

    I don't know what % fuel you run, but 65% R/C boat fuel works great in potato guns. You might have another use for your fuel besides the pointless exercise of trying to beat the air into submission.

    How long will pulled pork keep in the fridge?

    That's like asking Mr. Owl "How many licks to get to the center of a tootsie pop?"

    Pecos Pest was my favorite cartoon. what was yours?

    Crazyhorse, I think you are talking about Battle of the Planets. Their ship was the G-5 and it was called the Phoenix. In the Japanese versions, it was called the God Phoenix. The team was 5 teenagers: Ken, Tiny, Jason, Princess and Keyops. Each had a vehicle: race car, airplane, motorcycle...

    Pecos Pest was my favorite cartoon. what was yours?

    Battle of the Planets was a translation of the Japanese cartoon Gatchaman (Science Ninja Team) in the 70's. By the time I was watching cartoons, the other three were in syndication from the 60's. I'd watch them before Gilligan's Island, The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis and Get Smart when I got...

    what started the addiction for you

    I've always loved eating BBQ but never had a smoker to cook it in. Two years ago I was leaving the neighborhood and saw an ECB among the items in a neighbor's garage sale. I locked my brakes, slid to a stop and pile out of the car to ask what they wanted for it. They replied that they were...

    i hope ypu people are happy!

    You know it's bad when you start watching every yard you drive by for a propane tank that isn't in use and thinking about the suitability of every metal container or pressure vessel you see as a smoker. I had to rent a chainsaw and rotary hammer the other day and really wanted to take the...

    Way off topic...but I saved some $$ today.

    If I remember right from my R/C days, freezing and charging the Ni-Cad batteries breaks up the crystals that form inside the cells and restore the capacity to near what it was when they were new. Don't take this as gospel truth. I've been wrong before and likely will again (probably before I go...
