    I'm gonna stick my neck way out there and say that it is to chase the flies away. It seems I heard somewhere that the way the sun shines/refracts thru water that is causes sunshine to do funny things and drives flies nuts.......so they leave. If not that.............something close.

    Making Jeff's Rib Rub

    When I was in the service in the very humid mid-pacific..........they would place a saltine cracker in the sugar shaker. I never seen hard sugar. Try it. It's easy and cheap easily removable.

    Ice Fishing Group

    If you were to catch your fish and smoke them right away........I would be concered about flavor. I brine my fish for 10-12 hrs before putting them in my smoker. I guess what I'm saying it that you could have smoked fish....but that's all you would have is bland smoked fish. No flavor other than...

    I have used pop's brine and I just finished a batch with a dry rub. Both were/are good........but I am still missing that ingredient that puts it over the top in flavor.

    Which casings for snack stix??

    I just realized I may not have the right casings for my snack stix. I have 19-21mm sheep casings and for some reason I am thinking folks use that man made casing. I think my casing will do. What do you think???
