    Decisions:

    I went to my neighborhood Target, got a Taylor digital, folding display, timer. Reads to 380 something...Probe on cord. I run the probe through a hunk of mesquite. Other people use a 'tater or ball of foil to hold the probe. When it's time to check the meat, I just retrieve the probe, stab the...

    Wicked Iowa Hail Storm Video

    Mega Suck! Like living on a driving range, except 2 weeks worth of practice compressed into a few minutes. Like being at the Alamo. Just one of the reasons I put up with 115* temps in Phoenix. My wife is from E.Iowa. Grew up blocks from Missississississippi.

    25$ Brinkman SnP

    Nice score, DIV. I'm jealous. I thought I was special. I got the same thing for $40. Heat shield in FB? I had charcoal grates for fb and 2 for cooking chamber, and the prev. owners had been grilling with K in the big box. The ash was 2" higher than the coal grates. Since then, I stuck a 24"...

    Finally made a grate

    Isn't made yet...I don't have a drum, but I, uh, er, adapted, yeah, that's it, the idea from a photo I saw on one of the forums...probably the 200+ page, 3000+ response thread on Brethren. Sequester yourself for like 5 days...have somebody shove food and water under the door now and then. The...

    Finally made a grate

    For my SnP... I'd have had it done earlier, but cutting expanded metal with a dremel... I thought I'd put sides on it, but that's moot. 15x26 inches, 6 inches at each end bent up. Eazzy squeezy! I had a 2x4 foot chunk of XM, so I have enuf left for a UDS fire grate. I have a donated pizza pan...

    Coffee Can Mod for Charcoal smoking steaks

    Hmmm...looks like a Uniflame grill to me...I found a used 22" Weber for $10, and DW got grumpy on me over it..."What, the one I got you isn't good enough?" She doesn't understand why I need a Horiz Offset, a Weber, the Uniflame, and, when I finally get to it, a UDS. If she only bought shoes, I...

    THIS Almost Broke My Heart

    Yes, looks like a Jack/Parson Russell terrier there. Probably one of the best small dogs out there. Extremely high energy, loving dog. And won't weigh 70 lbs. causing the bed to turn over when she jumps into it... hee hee. OK, so the beds never actually turned over... dk

    Sad day for my family

    About a week earlier, I found our longtime pet Pesky the Cat, whose contract had expired on our porch. I know how many feel about cats, but he was the most lovable, attentive guy--he'd come in every morning, jump on the bed and wait for his head rub. We had him 'bout 12 1/2 years, and he was a...

    How to get maple flavor into a Butt

    First, knock off a bank. Then, buy some Maple Syrup. You may not have to knock off a bank if the grocery store has a finance writer... OK, now that I've wised off about how expensive MS is, I would guess that adding the syrup to the marinade--or marinating in only syrup--would likely work. I...
