    First WYOMING Member!!!?

    Welcome to the board Stratocat. I lived in Superior for a couple years and that part of the country is dear to me. Last time up that way took us up through pinedale, Jackson Hole and into Idaho. I haven't been back for 3 or 4 years so I suppose it's about time for a visit. Do you have a good...

    Hope All Is Well ....

    Just spoke w/ the Okette. She works in a 7 stiry buikding in downtown Tulsa. She roports that several windows were blown in on the top three floors of her building. She also lamented that unfortunately her office windows were not blown in and as a result she has to work today.

    smoked raccoon

    I see your hand up Steve, so I'll call on you. I would recommend a .22 cal. CB long. At that close range you don't really want anything that might go clear through the animal and do damage to other things or animals, and the CB long has plenty to get the job done. The CB long makes a louder...

    smoked raccoon

    My uncle used to bait his trap with a half an apple. He used the other half chopped up int the stuffing. Baked @ 275* for about 3 hours as I recall. You really need to bake it on a rack in the pan because it's so greasy. I never have smoked one though. Cowgirl, the best-bar none- coyote...

    Hope All Is Well ....

    Report from Tulsa is that some 30-50 people were injured when a very large straight line wind got underneath a very large Octoberfest tent and sent the tent poles flailing about like giant nunchucks. One person in critical condition, other injuries not too bad. It appears that part of the...

    Preserving basil?

    I usually do that through the early part of the season because it seems to help the plant fill out and have more tender tips, but I let it start bolting around mid August. I also start a new crop about the same time so that I have some young tender stuff. You may still have time to get some...

    Preserving basil?

    The seeds are still good after frost if you care to harvest them. If you allow the plant to mature it will bolt out a seed head. If you wait until the seed head turns brown the seeds will be mature. They don't usually all mature @ once so you can make several harvests per season. Once the...

    Preserving basil?

    Don't forget to save the seeds for next year. I haven't bough seed for years now. I've also had some interesting crosspollenation yeilds such as lettuce leaf Thai basil.

    19 LB Top Round & two 8 lb Butts

    Did you steal that cutting board from my kitchen? Looks great to me. Being well done isn't a sin for smoked round in my book. 175* is a little bit of overkill, but if you've got good sauce I don't see a problem. I'm not familiar with the term "pit beef". Is that maybe what we call sliced...

    Preserving basil?

    Hey Bubba, I freeze 2 or three lbs of basil every year. Wash it ,dry it in a salad spinner, get rid of the stemmy stuff as much as possible, vacpac it and just shred off as much as you want whenever you need it. I also dry some for those uses that call for dried herbs (rubs and...

    Basic Pulled Pork Smoke

    Which size OK Joe's do you have? If you have the large one you can (and I would suggest that you do) burn logs. The short logs that you get in the 50# onion sack thingies @ academy sports, Lowe's etc. are cut to size especially for that type of smoker. Just start a small c'coal fire fo base...

    Testing my new innocuous signature

    On behalf of the forum as well as myself, thank you Jeff and thank you Joe for bringing a little sanity to bear. It's a sad day when what was supposed to be a test post ends up with even the normally mild mannered, soft spoken Pigcicles gets so upset that he becomes vocal. Jeff, the sig...

    Testing my new innocuous signature

    Oops, apparently unchecking the show signatures box on the edit preferences page of the User CP only removes signatures that you're looking at and not your signature from what everyone else sees. I had been asked to remove my disclaimer and thought I had. That's why this was in the test...

    Has anyone ever done this(lots of pix)

    Start by cutting the backbone out, keep the knife tilted slightly toward the bone, and I bet you'll figure the rest out. I intend to enilst a little help from the Smoky Okette (as photographer) and post a play by play. It's just a tad difficult to schedule that much time together during waking...

    Jerk Chicken Wings

    If you can't find the fresh habs, you ought to add a little hab sauce instead. Jerk just ain't jerk w/o that peachy flavor of the hab.
