    Other Hobbies

    Up untill this past week I wouldn't have considered duck hunting a hobby, but I caught the bug. I'm paying the price this weekend that an overweight, out of shape middle age teenager should from wading around for three days in submerged hardwood timber. But it was great. I went to Stuttgart, AR...

    Its H O T T

    My fav is that it is hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. I saw a newscast in Dallas during a previous summer where they actually cracked an egg on the pavement and it actually began to fry. Last summer I left Alexandria, LA on the 19th of July and the heat index was 113. I drove home...

    Look at what I just ordered!!!

    Good for you! Hope you enjoy the new smoker! Imagine how my wife felt when I brought mine home, 15 years ago draggin behind the truck and parked it in the driveway. Been payin' for that one ever since. Funny thing is though....I don't hear her complain when she's wrappin her lips around...

    Old oil tank

    I'll go along with that. As I mentioned earlier, I don't know squat about heating oil. Given the explanation, I would concur. And yes, an old propane tank would be much better. Have fun cutting it open. You need to fill it up with water and let it sit for a few weeks. Even at that, it will...

    Old oil tank

    I just talked with my buddy from Duluth. Aside from the environmental issues raised here, he said that they are thin walled so rust could be an issue unless rust-proofing were applied. He said that he personally knows, and has eaton food cooked off same and aside from a minor tick the left side...

    Old oil tank

    Don't know much about heating oil. We have natural or LP down this way. But I do know that down here we take old propane tanks, fill them with water and cut them open to be converted into smokers. The gas soaks into the tank, so cutting them open sounds like the 4th of July, so you need to...

    Natural gas Smoker????

    I converted my big ole, stainless steel gas grill to natural gas when I had natural gas plumbed to my patio. I built the house I'm in so I was able to do that in the construction phase vs. having to come back in and do it later. More to the point, the propane dealer I was getting my LP from...

    to all southeren coastal texans

    You can probably fly into San Antonio and catch a puddle jumper to Corpus, then drive from there if you go to Port A. That's a much better choice than Galveston, I guarantee! I grew up going down to Galveston and the beach is brown, the water murky brown, and they used to have tar all over the...

    to all southeren coastal texans

    You'll be going after school starts, so the rates will be better too. South Padre is where you want to go, though. ajthepoolman is right about Mexican food being King. That and seafood. When in Rome, do like the Romans and eat the seafood. How about 10-15 count shrimp? They are huge and...

    Pecan Hulls

    I used to get them out in Fulshear when I lived down there. Fulshear is probably a subdivision now. Back 25 years ago, it was nothing but pecan orchards. The great thing about pecan trees, they are self pruning. You might be able to make a deal with a grower just to walk through his orchard...

    Pecan Hulls

    I don't mind checking. I can get you a small bag of pecan chips or chunks for that matter. You could probably go to GanderMtn.com and get a better deal.

    Pecan Hulls

    My wifes family has a TON of pecan trees on their land. Needless to say, I use a lot of pecan wood to smoke over. A few years ago I picked up a burlap sack full of pecans, took them and had them cracked, but not shelled. After sealing up the pecan halfs and putting them in the freezer, I had...

    Review of barbecuewood.com's wood

    Acadamy has various wood types in chunks and sticks. It is about $20 a bag there too. I finally found the bigger bags of wood at Gander Mountain the other day. It wasn't back where all the grills and smokers were, but up in the front of the store! I was glad to find that because I've got a...

    Help?!?!?! Somewhat lost here.....

    Welcome to the board, Chris! Glad to have you. Just to echo what others have mentioned, the type of smoker you purchase should fit with your needs. I started with an upright water smoker that burned charcoal and wood years ago. That worked well enough and was easy to tuck in behind the...
