    I do have a drip, rather a water pan and a smoke box over the burner.

    regulator life

    Thank you for the reply. When not in use it stays in a storage building. Could easily have a critter set up camp. I have loads of banana spiders, think little finger, with legs. Good guys to have around as as they LOVE mosquitoes. I did separate the burner assembly from the cabinet. There...

    regulator life

    What would be considered a normal life for a regulator? My flame is nice crisp blue when I start but turns yellow when I dial up the heat. I do sometimes get diaphragm flutter and have to shut the tank off and open the valve vvveeerrryyy slowly for the regulator to work. Using GOSM cabinet...

    How do I get rid of this newbie name attached to me ?

    Searched the database for how to change status and this was the first one that matched the question.  Obviously, I paid no attention to the dates since it scratched my itch.

    Comment by 'wiseguy' in media 'snow shoes.jpg'

    This is great.  I laughed hard enough to bring a tear to my eye.  I can do that as we get snow once every 25 years ... whether we need it or not.  The down side is we are due ... last snow was 1989.

    QUICK COURSE IN SMOKING WOOD

    This seems to be the most recent of the posts on wood.  I read Jeff's Feb How to smoke meat newsletter section on the GSM gas tutorial.  He mentions loading the wood box ... I never have as it seem a waste of wood.  I donlt like a heavy smoke and really prefer the thin blue philosophy.  I keep a...

    EF, Awesome looking crew.  I can see why Cubbie is a daddy's girl.  I miss the days of rolling on the floor doing the bear cub wrestling thing.

    What pays the bills is Fleet Ballistic Missiles for US Navy.  What I do for fun is pester the wife, behave in a manner that encourages our adult children to tell me "Dad, Grow UP" and shoot armadillos.  Although, the coyotes in coastal Georgia have more effective than I have lately.  Qnd most of...

    best beer for BBQ

    When I started reading this post, I thought the discussion was what went into the water pan versus the pit boss.  Water goes in my pan, with aromatics.  Don't know that it makes the meat any better, but is sure does advertise to the neighborhood.  I guess I'm approaching beer snob status and...

    Where does everyone get there wood??

    Interesting ... I've been wrong all these years ... finally had reason to go look in depth.  I have Lobblolly Bays.  When burned the wood pops shooting sparks and cinders in every direction.  http://okeechobee.ifas.ufl.edu/News%20columns/3BayTrees.htm

    Where does everyone get there wood??

    My dad talks about a buddy of his on gulf coast of FL that uses Bay to smoke fish.  I have never heard of anyone using Bay ... anybody out there use Bay?  Technically I think it is Bay Laurel tree ... not the shrub that bay leaves come from the spice jars.

    Why sugar & salt?

    Thanks Dave ... that is the science I was looking for.  Sound hit the portions thing .. that I think is personal taste.  Digging dog must have have beagles ... wonderful animals.  Understand the hygroscopic part, but cooking between 215 & 230 F doesn't dry out the chicken, turkey & pork I've...
