    What do we have here?

    any difference between a salometer and a sphygmomanometer? I used to make various flavors of wine every year and used the sphygmo for testing specific gravity which would tell me the amount of alcohol in the wine. I am guessing the scale is different... I never thought about testing a brine for...

    a fishy problem

    I am a bit late to this one, but I would go with the swordfish or Tuna steaks...pretty easy to cook (don't overcook them), very mild and tastes great! I am not a big fan of salmon...although one of my best friends lives in Portland, Oregon and does a fresh salmon cooked on a ceder plank that is...

    321 Ribs Question

    eaglewing is right on track...Looks and doneness overide time; When you first start out, pay close attention to time (lots of us keep a log and track time temp etc). After a few smokes you will be able to "look and feel" to know doneness. The "bend" method; some people like to eat ribs that...

    What is the "Perfect" barrel for a UDS?

    just a thought...if that red liner doesn't come off when red hot with the weed burner, how can it come off when smoking which is MUCH less heat? AND where can I get a couple cans of that red stuff...I have a few things around here could use a good coat of "can't take it of with a torch" paint!!!!

    What is the "Perfect" barrel for a UDS?

    Bad news; I found out these barrels all are from the food industry and have a liner in them. Good news; I can get them with the removable lids, and as many as I want for $5.00 each.

    What is the "Perfect" barrel for a UDS?

    I found a source that has several barrels and different types...now I just need to know what to look for; what is the "ideal" barrel to start with for a UDS. is it possible to end up with a good result if the tops are not detachable? how would you cut it off? I am going to go check them out in...
