    Galvanized steel wood chip pan??

    there are ways to burn it off, and chemically remove it, and in both cases, it's hazardous to do unless you're experienced with either caustic materials handling, handling hazmat, or vapor trapping. I wouldn't recommend trying it.

    Galvanized steel wood chip pan??

    no. as a blacksmith and general metalworking fiend...I've known people that have died from zinc fumes. Zinc starts offgassing from the steel at about 600F, well within the range of what you'd get on burner contact, especially at the temps you need to et your chips/sawdust/etc to smoke. Zinc...

    Beware of the "Smart" Women

    actually, a substantial number of people choose not to place an o in the word 'god' because they believe it demeans the ineffiable and eternal nature to try and attempt to name him. much like YHWH means 'the name that cannot be said' G-d is used as a sign of respect, by attempting to refer...

    Need help from a green thumber

    I can give you a little peace of mind about the seeds. If a seed is grown from a grapefruit branch, it will be a grapefruit seed, no matter what the rootstock it's grafted to is. I'm not sure where you read that bit of info, but that would require some genetic mixing of a form that just...

    Can I Do This???

    run a hot pile. I've never seen a critter willing to take steam burns to fish out something that 'might' be tasty. If you're dealing with drought conditions and everything's starving to death, it might happen, but it's simple to keep creatures out of it....dig a hole in the top center of your...

    How do you add wood for your smoke flavor?

    yeah, I stopped having that problem with the brinkmann upright box when I swapped over to starting a wood fire, letting it burn for a half hour (I usually let it burn high and burn-clean my grates, to be honest) and then I put in two large pieces, large enough to cover my firebowl by about 80%...

    I'm going to be away for a while.

    superv - no, a sheperd's sling, with rocks, and the spear I'm practicing with isn't a javelin, but a hunting spear, more specifically a boar spear. Not the 'best' thrower in the world, but hits like a ton of bricks (5 pounds total weight, the blade is 18" long, 4" wide and displaces nearly an...

    I'm going to be away for a while.

    yep, I may be 'here and there and over there and all over the place' but I'm going to keep coming back here. It's a nice place to be, and helping a lot. If this were a bar, and I had the cash, I'd buy us all a round anyway, just to say thanks for being supportive. I'm getting back into some of...

    I'm going to be away for a while.

    advice noted, although, to be fair, she's not as bad of a person as I'm sure I've made her sound. She's actually pretty decent, when she's not acting strangely, which I know the 'why' of it, but that doesn't mean that the situation is one that we should be in. So, we're not together until she...

    I'm going to be away for a while.

    I plan on seeing TBS soon. one of my neighbors came over last night and asked if I were dead. 'why?' 'no bbq smoke for over two weeks. What's wrong with you?' I get a sizeable cheque in about 10 days, so that's going to meat, and I've got two fairly massive deadfall pecan branches/logs to cut...

    I'm going to be away for a while.

    hehe....well, my 20's have done gone, I'm a returning student, but still doesn't stop me from fishing. I know what I want, and have for quite a while. gods only know I've seen enough of what I 'don't want' (makes face) the great irony, she contacted me today, and we had a decent conversation. I...

    I'm going to be away for a while.

    yeah, I'm getting back to working out some, lifting some weights, trying to get my diet straight, and concentrating on college. If she's wanting to miss out, then...she can miss out. She knows where to find me, and she knows what she has to do for things to be straight. and since I'm going to...

    Forget jerky - make yourself some biltong :-)

    I like droewors, and you're right, those things vanish VERY quickly.

    Can I Do This???

    Smoke-freak, some questions built up from my experience with composting and soil science. I'm not flaming you, but curious to your stance on certain things. I agree with point one to an extent, however a properly built pile has no need for turning to aerate, and any oxygen added during turning...
