    Garlic Butter Crawfish Boil, aka Land Lock Lobsters

    @indaswamp Ok, just happened to have a scalable item in the pic.... Ok so none we caught were under 4".....The little one just below the worm container is about 4 inches and any smaller than that get tossed back. Extrapolating means most were in the 5-inch range with 2-3 in the 6-6.5 range.

    Garlic Butter Crawfish Boil, aka Land Lock Lobsters

    Well there you go….the ones on top are 5-6 inch range the claws are 3 ish inches. They are extremely tasty….better than the lobster…. No catch limit by the way….just size restrictions on the trap, # of traps (5 per license), and soak time.

    They are “Signal” and are an invasive species, but they feed lots of bass! By the way the Signal are known for large claws and they can walk over ground for several miles to find water……

    Garlic Butter Crawfish Boil, aka Land Lock Lobsters

    Go deep go big or go home! The water to at that depth is more consistent…..still too cold for the shallows! We have them in all our creeks rivers and lakes….potting them is the easy way!

    Meet Maria

    I was going to say your pics were a perfect example of how to use the brasero (fire box) to get nice clean coals. Additionally, adding charcoal into the mix is something I do on the X-Fire all the time. It really helps reduce the time to generate a coal bed. Just and idea for ya for different...

    RecTeq questions

    Yes, it can be run from the unit, no connectivity is needed. The Porch Pro 400 (Plenty big for one person) is on sale at the moment, and they do run sales on the others, but they rotate, I would suspect FD sales for sure though Other good options would be: The Weber Smoque 594 Green Mountain...

    Smoked chuck experiment gone wrong ?

    The key element that you missed with wrapping vs a foil pan is dressing it with the rendered fat from the pan, this makes a huge difference. 205ish is my target (I think you were a little low as steve noted), I also dry brine them every time now as well...

    Soft Close Hinges

    Most of the off brand are not very reliable, I have had good luck with Blum hidden pocket soft close but be warned they aren't $ they are $$$$. The ones I have the soft close can be turn off or on with a pocket lever.

    Sourdough Pizza on the Recteq

    Even though my RT will go up to 650ish I run my RT1250 at 500 to 550 for Pizza....That is screaming hot for a pellet. As a side note before running this hot, it gets a full clean, ie vacuum and new foil, ie no standing or build up grease or oils, even then it takes 35 mins or so to burn off all...

    2 - F18s mid air crash a MT Home Gun Fighters

    A previous company I worked for designed/prepared the plans to build targets, ie buildings, runways, roads, utilities, etc...... then they would go survey "map" the results after such "objects" that "fell" from aircraft.... It was a good gig while it lasted....
