    I have a pepper sprout!

    I rotate my garden in a quad rotation. Everything goes on a quarter turn every year. Legumes, salad greens, vining fruits like squash, and nightshades. Last year and again this year I've planted potatoes in my nightshade plot and started peppers in pots. When I harvest the potatoes in late June...

    Census.....

    What upsets me the most about this whole thing is the fact that the form D-1(E/S) that I received is written in both English and Spanish. Now, I do live in an area that is highly populated with FREAKING ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS, but who are we kidding? Those people are not going to fill out a census...

    How Many Mes Owners Here?

    I got my 40" w/window from Sam's a week ago. Shakedown cruise was yesterday with a huge butt, a pizza fatty, and some awesome Laotian sausages we scored at an Asian market on Saturday. I'm really impressed at the ease in using it after the last ten years or so with my New Braunfels offset. I was...

    Had to put out fire in Char Griller smoker w/ extingisher. How do I clean it now?

    After a pressure wash you might consider a good hand scrubbing with baking soda in water to neutralize any acids that might be present in the extinguishing agent. Regardless of the pressure wash and reseasoning, the presence of acids guarantees corrosion. PitRow's suggestion of the Simple Green...

    REVISED WEEKEND SMOKE, 1ST PP on WSM

    I'll try the mechanized puller, but my dog is going to be damn disappointed.

    Cart Modification for MES. Nice!

    Update: I bought the 40" MES with window from Sam's a week ago. Between weather and obligations I have only had time to season it to this point. First smoke is tomorrow with a huge butt (I do like the big butts), a couple of fattys for my son and his friends, some boudin, ABT's , and a sausage...

    I have a question for you.

    My wife manages a medical office. A lot of times the ladies that work there are finicky eaters. I would consider keeping it light with stuff like chicken breast chunks, some softly smoked veggies, sliced ham, and maybe some cheese if you can cold smoke.

    Poll do you foil your ribs & butts???

    I mostly don't, but have, and probably will again. I like to mix things up sometimes.

    Walking

    I hate to suggest spending money, but the Nintendo wii Fit would be the best you could ever spend. I've been on it since the end of 2008 and was at 250# with blood pressure at 183/97 and a BMI of 33. That was enough. I walked about a mile every day at that time and still do so that is not a...

    First Brisket with Qview

    Man, you ain't kidding about injecting brisket. I've done easily over 100 briskets over the years and I injected one for the first time ever last Friday. It was a full packer. Since I pull mine I normally leave the entire fat cap on and then scrape it away before pulling. It has always been nice...

    Cart Modification for MES. Nice!

    PiginIt, you are an evil genius. I just brought home my brand new MES from Sam's, and now I have to go back and spend another $60 for the cart. I wish I had got it done while the little lady was in spending mode, but she loves the smoked food that it shouldn't be too much of a hard sell. This...

    Is carp crap?

    You got it. Scored carp with a load of lemon juice is tolerable to almost anyone. Not a big fan myself. I'm always able to catch catfish, but in a pinch carp will do as long as it comes from clean(er) waters. We used to eat it a lot when I was a kid and we lived mostly off critters. One funny...

    1st Weekend in March, Whats Smokin'?

    Brisket has been on since 9:30. three racks of BB ribs go on at noon for dinner. four chicken drums at around 2:00, and then some ABT's around 4:00. Dinner at five. Just picked up some humongous japs at Kroger and some fixins for cole slaw. Was going to do a boudain fatty but they were out of...

    any body shoot a bow???

    I shoot a Reflex bow. They are very forgiving for someone that don't get in as many reps as he should and it won't break the bank. They are made by Hoyt and they have the same technology at a lower price. If you are just starting out try to find one with a brace height at or over 8 inches. It...

    Moose Knoll Farm

    You my friend are living the life that my dear wife and I can only dream about at this point. We are working hard to make the dream come true, but there are so many outside forces which make it get further away. You have my best wishes for your continued success. And give those three furry...

    My 3 Fatties

    Very nice. I just happen to have some Zummo's and some Owen's in the freezer. I see a boudain fattie in my near future. The Qview gives me something to shoot for.

    Lets see or hear about the tax refund purchases.

    Not to hijack the thread, but can we talk about religion now?

    Those things are built like an Abrams tank. It will outlast most all of us. Great buy!

    Ribs Cow

    Why would you possibly use liquid smoke? Isn't that what your smoker is for?
