    OJ Highland Fire Management

    Rain would be great about now. My hay field is mowed, and the short grass left is just going to burn up without some rain.

    Cool, Howdy, neighbor! Pre-heating the splits on top of the firebox will dry them out some. Wood is hygroscopic and, even when seasoned, will absorb moisture in humid climates like ours.

    OJ Highland Fire Management

    The "V"grate configuration works pretty well in the OKJ fireboxes. Splits this size, as long as they are dry or smaller.

    Strong coffee

    That's an understatement. The carton it came in probably tasted better than the ice milk that was in it.

    Gumbo Question - Re Roux & Possible Blasphemy

    May have to look into that as well. I know you have a son who is celiac, so you are well versed on all the alternatives.

    Gumbo Question - Re Roux & Possible Blasphemy

    My wife did a low carb thing a few years ago and surprisingly, a number of the wheat/gluten free alternatives were actually higher in net carbs. I can tolerate small amounts of gluten from wheat, barley, and rye, so I may have to look into that.

    Gumbo Question - Re Roux & Possible Blasphemy

    Been about the same for gluten free dumplings. Make a gluten free dough and cut it into squares. When you float them on top, they pretty much disintegrate. May get one or two that cook up like regular dumplings, but most of them don't.

    Gumbo Question - Re Roux & Possible Blasphemy

    I've tried a number of gluten free flour formulations for making roux. None of them act the same as wheat flour in my experience. They sorta work as a thickener, but they don't develop the color as does wheat flour. They also clump up when adding the stock after making said roux.

    Must have either done that, had it done to you, or been a witness. :emoji_laughing:

    Who remembers these?

    I did a number of batches in plastic gallon jugs long ago. Juice concentrate, sugar, yeast, and water. A balloon was placed on top in place of the cap while the contents turned into booze. You did have to let the gas out of the balloon every day or two ........... made one hell of a mess if the...

    Forgot to mention hard cider ........ that will get you jacked up right quick, since it goes down like sparkling apple juice.

    Who remembers these?

    I'm different. I have never sampled the MD 20/20 mentioned. A variety of beers and wines, hard liquors, moonshine, etc, and I plead the fifth on the joint.

    Sadly, I'm old enough to remember those, lol.

    Meat Cure Experiment.

    While it appears cured all the way through, you and I have had many discussions about wet brines (a specific one which I shall not mention, and the low level of nitrite even though the meat was pink all the way through). The nitrite level in that one is below what Marianski deemed to be effective.

    Anyone using Inkbird or any other wireless thermometers?

    I run a 4 probe inkbird bluetooth (non-wifi) when I bother to use it. I don't use it on cooks very often, anymore, though it works fine. I also have their rechargeable instant read, which I use all the time. I really like it.

    Strong coffee

    I hit 60 earlier this year and also remember the "Ethyl" label on gas pumps. Also, a pump jockey filled your tank for you and checked the oil, etc, and washed your windshield while it was filling.

    Hopefully there was a bread truck nearby

    Bet a roach coach could have made killing selling hotdogs to everyone stuck in traffic.

    Strong coffee

    Wasn't as much about octane as it was about cushioning the valve seats to protect them from damage. That was the main reason for the lead in gasoline back in the day. It was also an anti-knock agent, as you said, though.
