    Harbor Freight class action settlement

    Aside from the Class Action Lawsuit, I really like Harbor Freight !    Sale price or not, a person needs to be knowledgeable enough to know, you get what you pay for there. This isn't a bad thing if you do your homework first to know what you are buying.  Example being,  a 1/2 drive air impact...

    Wood fired pizza oven?

    Looks to me like your posting in the right area, I can't imagine you NOT finding the right information and or help with your project build on this SMF. I would be willing to guess if a Calculator does exist? Someone will chime in with that info for you. Maybe start by posting up some Drawing...

    Trees in my yard.

    First, Any luck with contacting your local Extension Office to see what they have to say about Identifying your trees ?  I would be willing to guess if you emailed them a good pic of a leaf from each one of your trees, their secretary more than likely could help with the ID of your trees. I...

    Woke up and found my corned beer floating... I tossed it. Did I do the right thing?

    If we don't hear back from Chris in a few Days on how everything turned out, I guess we all will have figured out the meat should have stayed in the Trash!  I am not trying to be funny, this is a very serious issues, especially if the meat wasn't properly cured right the first time around. So a...

    Need help with fire box

    Next Question I need answered first before I can go further with your issue. Is your smoker open between the two compartment for smoke to flow from one end to the other, or closed off in the Middle? I see two separate exhaust stacks, that's why I am asking this question. Thanks Mike

    Oak score!

     to the SMF brent b Yes you definitely have some good wood to last you awhile. As for waiting for it to dry before starting to use any of it?  I have been told by others and have used myself fresh cut green Ash And Oak for BBQ and Smoking without the bark on and or burned off first, and have...

    Should you take the bark off wood

    I prefer the Bark off the native hard wood I like to use for grilling and smoking. I personally don't waste a lot of time with trying to remove the bark. I will always make sure not to use and or burn off the Bark first before adding the meat because I have noticed a bit of a bitter taste from...

    Question about what to use to seal a grill

     to the SMF saynaw. A better pic of your problemed smoke leak area might help with a permanent fix to your Leak issue? I have used good old Aluminum Foil before to temporarily fix a quick leak, so it all kind of boils down to your specific leak issue, how bad is it?   Hope that helps. Mike

    Smoked Crab Legs

     Smoked Crab Legs?  sounds interesting and I would be curious to give it a whirl myself. I have spent a fair amount of time in Alaska and yes have had the opportunity a few times to put the hurt on eating my fill of King Crab Legs. The only thing I found better, were Jumbo King Crab Legs! LOL I...

    Trees in my yard.

     to the SMF churchtap I would be guessing at the names of those trees from your pics. The internet and or your local extension office would be your best resource for this type of correct info on your trees.  They can tell you all kinds of valuable information on the Native trees to your area...

    Need help with fire box

     to the SMF pirk56.  Judging from your pic, for me it looks like smoke is wanting to come out your door when you have it open, Correct?  If so, that is telling me you have an issue with your exhaust and or your Smoker has cooled down to much and you lost the Drawing flow of your heat and smoke...

    Awww rats!

    I am a Big Fan of Sodium Hypochlorite or Chlorine, aka Bleach. I would have used the shop vac to suck and not blow all the Rat Nest mess around and then spray a diluted Bleach solution on everything and let set for an hour and rinse with water hose or High pressure sprayer.  Then when all is dry...

    Is firewood suitable for smoking??

    My guess would be the chemical is a Pesticide and or Fungicide for the purpose to help prevent the spreading of any bad bugs and or diseases to other parts of the county, because of campers hauling that bundled camp wood across the country with them.  On one of my trips to Alaska traveling...
