    Thanks eman!

    Hey Joel, How's it going? All those jellies sound real good. I like jelly better than jams and the one I see here, I don't get very often. That is the pepper jelly. I have thought about trying to make it myself. What I have in mind is something that isn't " cross your eyes hot " , Just a little...

    shredded paper ? ? ?

    Thanks Dave for the much needed information, you can bet I'll be using it. Here in Indy we have a generous amount of clay, so the first concern for me was amending it so it would stay loose. Sand is pretty cheap and I ordered some extra when I had a load brought in for my grand kid's sand box...

    shredded paper ? ? ?

    We have one of those criss cross shredders. I think about all the shredded paper that we throw out a week and wonder if there would be anything wrong with saving it and tilling it into the soil. I know people use news papers placed in the walk rows of their gardens to keep the weeds from coming...

    GARDEN --- BLOCK PLANTING

    This is something I came across about 20 years ago. At the time I had a garden that was 30' X 80' and I was having a ball working that garden. The Block Planting was incredible in how it worked. First of all, it was easier than row planting. You can stagger the timing of different plants like...

    RF Build In Slow Motion (Sinks are done!)

    With your three levels of grates, what would you smoke to feed that largest number of people? I am only familiar with slow roasting, so you would need to have whatever you are going to smoke, all on at the same time, correct? Say doing chicken halves, even with that monster you built, could you...

    RF Build In Slow Motion (Sinks are done!)

    Joel, do you have a way to adjust airflow in the venture? That burner would make a great charcoal starter in that "grill" we are going to build. I got the go ahead Monday, long time coming. Oh by the way, here is that tandem trailer I told you about. Well, that's what he said it was, after...

    REALLY NICE, NO BENDING, GARDEN BOXES

    Just a little more information on this. The size of the box was based on something called "square foot gardening" by a guy by the name of Mel Bartholomew, which I saw on a gardening TV show, Victory Garden. His planting method can be found on the Internet. The idea is that you can easily reach...

    REALLY NICE, NO BENDING, GARDEN BOXES

    I will try, we moved away from there, Fort Wayne, five years ago to Indy. At the time we didn't have a camera that was computer friendly. Right now we are visiting our daughter and she thinks she has pics of the boxes, I'll see what we can do. I have never tried to post pics before.

    REALLY NICE, NO BENDING, GARDEN BOXES

    Being a retired guy and my honey wanting garden boxes, I racked my brain to think of something I could build them out of that wouldn't send me to the poor house. (very old term) Well what I came up with was an idea that metal garage doors get run into, it usually only damages the bottom section...

    RF Build In Slow Motion (Sinks are done!)

    Joel, I read what you said about guys not believing you about what you paid for steel. I'm in the process of planning a build, kind of slow going and money is a big issue. I stopped by a steel fabrication shop to see if I could buy some  scrap from him, my build is for my church, he told me to...

    Propane oder

    Solaryellow, thanks for the information. One less thing to worry about since I've never built a grill before. I need all the help I can get.

    Propane oder

    Isn't there a problem with warping the metal especially around the door opening? How long do you keep the fire going? Thanks

    Propane oder

    Is having a burn out the only way to get rid of that "propane" smell from a propane tank grill build? Can it be eliminated with chlorine bleach? Thanks for any help.

    My First Build, a 215 Gallon RF

    What is the purpose of the burn? Is it to get rid of that propane smell they add to the gas? Some one mentioned chlorine bleach to eliminate the odor? That looks like a pretty hot fire, any problems with warping? Your build looks great so far!!! My kids are all Purdue grads 2 of my own, 2...

    Our first build

    I really need some help with costs before our build starts. On a typical build, what is spent on saw blades, grinding discs, welding rods, gas for the cutting torch and any other items we will "use up" on the build. The 250 gal. propane tank we have, the price of the steel we can figure out from...

    FIRE BOX

    Thanks shoneyboy After some thought, I think I understand what you are saying. Appairntly you have an electric dryer ( 220 ) that you hooked into to get the power for your welder. Am I close and does your wife know about it? LOL Nothing in my house has that kind of voltage so I would have to...

    FIRE BOX

    Solaryellow Thank you for the calculator. I haven't fully decided yet on what size it will be, I like the looks of a 100 Gal, tank but have not seen one in person to get a better idea of what I want. It seems to me that a person would be better off with larger than smaller just because smoking...

    FIRE BOX

    I am thinking about building a RF smoker from a 100 g. propane tank. Is there a formula to figure the dimensions of the fire box. I suppose I should inquire about the size of tank to use, the 100 looks good to me, but it's only for my personal use, for family, for friends ( probably not over 50...

    >>>>>> GRILL <<<<<<< NOT SMOKER

    Thanks loads for the welcome! I have a pretty good idea what is ahead, but if I get the right kind of help, we can do this. Different times I have felt like pulling the plug on the project, right now I'm still moving ahead on it. It would be good for our Parish. I tend to get consumed with an...
