Personally, I'm glad you fell off the wagon. This is another great submission. Looks like, knock on wood, you've overcome the photo upload problems that had you so down last year.
To all new people (those who've joined us since, oh, about last September), I strongly encourage you to take a look at all the links forluvofsmoke has in his signature element. Wanna learn some real secrets? See the trials and tribulations of getting a smoke to the dinner plate? Just plain "How to"? His links are an excellent place to start.
Eric, I'm working on a project where I think I need, heck I know I need, your insight, something to experiment with. PM on the way.

Thanks for your kind words, Dave. The pic uploads did get on my nerves after awhile last year, but there seems to have been a lot of upgrades to the forum now, and apparently they straightened out a ton of problems, because I had no issues with this thread (20 or 30 pics on one post without previewing to save the page in case of freeze-up), so that made for a much easier and more enjoyable experience. Upload time isn't that bad now either. I did change back to fire fox several months ago and that may have solved some of the problems as well...EI8/9 really bite...had tons of problems with either version on multiple websites, and then, there's bing...not my idea of what a search engine should be...using ixquick, now.
Anyway, without the frustration of posting, I think I'll be back on more and more...just want to start out slow and easy and keep a reasonable pace...but, we'll see if that lasts or not...I experiment so much, if I stumble into something others may want to try, then I post it, so, if I do start cooking after work, etc, like I did for a few years earlier, it could get heavy again.
Regarding my sig line, I probably still need to do more updates on it, but it's pretty well loaded already...well, I think I used to be limited-out, but I did add a few things again in the last several weeks, so there must have been an increase in the maximum allowed...that would be cool. Other folks should tap into their latest and greatest and drop it into their sig lines, too...no point in letting things lay just because the thread isn't active anymore...it's still good info to have quick access to, IMHO...heck I pull up some of my own just for easy access to recipes when I'm in the mood for a re-do.
I read your PM today at work on my Blackberry...it was was about an hour after you sent your PM when I pulled up my profile (I check in a couple times each day, lately), so it's had me thinking about it for about 12 hours already. Well, I gotta drop you a couple quick questions, then I'll have a better idea if I'm thinking on the right track or not. I may have a couple of methods in mind already, so I'm thinking it's time to get into some detailed theories that follow what you already mentioned, some light fab-work, and get on with test trials. Yep, I think you got me for this one...
Heading back to your PM right now...later, Brother!.
Eric
