I sold my house but it took longer than I expected to pick out another, so we filled a storage unit and holed up in an extended-stay type place. "No smoking within 150 feet" and that just means cigs.
(However they do have a sort of smokers' area, benches under a canopy, just outside the back...
In the international news, a drug-smuggling ring was busted in Italy when feral pigs dug up $22K worth of buried cocaine.

I want a gun and some knives and a meat grinder and my best disco...
DaWeber is a rescue 1990 enjoying a second life with me. I've made seversl modifications to it, including cutting the OEM grate in half. One reason for this is shown here.
First, the grate can easily be cut by three snips with bolt cutters. A hacksaw would work. Then, you should enlarge the...
Weather came up in another thread, and it made me wonder, how many of us can proceed with whatever smoking or grilling, under a roof, regardless of rain?
My patio is under a roof, and I have another slab behind the garage. That's my usual open-air smoking spot for the offset or the Weber. I've...
I was browsing around in a big-box store that I won't name, and they had a display model of a vertical smoker whose brand i won't name.
I poked around it a bit, opened doors etc. I was disappointed in the cheap construction. The thickness of the metal was comparable to that of a steel soup can...
I tried the Search for this but the hits were about turkey.
I've led volunteer events where we cut Amur Honeysuckle bushes out of parks, and the City crews chip them and dump the chips. I could get tons of that, literally.
Does anyone smoke with that? Would it be poisonous or anything? I'm...
I happen to live near the Camp Chase Confederate Cemetery so as a nod to our Southern members I stopped in to take a first look and pay my respects. This is on the west side of Columbus, Ohio.
It's like a smaller version of Arlington National Cemetery. Many POWs who never made it home...
You can find all of the major sauce brands by the gallons, but what about the little guys? What regional producers deserve attention? Share your reviews.
I'm starting this thread because I was approached by a guy in a grocery parking lot. At first I thought he might be a panhandler, but he was...
Yesterday while I was wearing an orange apron at work, I swept out bay 111 which held a pallet of bundled split firewood earlier this year. Some of the bundles had broken, and there was a shopping cart full of a mix of hardwoods and birch.
I asked my assistant manager if I could take it, and he...
When I'm running DaWeber I can snuff the fire after I'm finished cooking, which leaves some usable fuel. So, I finally got a steel pail for bbq ashes. I have some spare chicken wire (aka "poultry netting") so it was easy to roll some out, cut it, and fold it double. I pushed that down into a...
Here's a project I've had in mind since I rescued this 1990 (date code M on the top vent) 22-inch Weber kettle. I wanted to set up a short version, to be at a convenient height for people sitting in chairs. I'll keep the original legs.
First, since the front leg had no tip on it, I got a 1-inch...
When my local grocery store's entrance is lined with bags of charcoal, I know they're beginning to promote grilling season. But everything is priced at top dollar, not like in the Fall when things are marked down. Yesterday I was looking at some grills that were priced at $69.00 and frankly not...
I found a nice deal on a shoulder butt so I grabbed it.
I scored it and gave it a rub
And then on to the offset, smoking with briquettes, maple splts and pecan chunks.
Meanwhile, I prepared the mop - "Market District" is the in-house brand name at Giant Eagle stores.
Nice...
Yesterday was 40F and breezy, and I was on the patio with a pork butt, the Chop-Rite #10, and the 22-inch Weber. I had two plans: One was to grind most of the pork for breakfast sausage, and the other was to smoke some of the pork to cube into a batch of chili. I had originally intended to buy...
Like many people here, I smoke peppers. I usually start from dried pods which might already be brittle and crumbly, or tough and leathery like Guajillo which become brittle after some smoky discipline.
Then I grind them, and I have two coffee grinders to choose from. Both of these are from the...
