Food Smokers and Smoking Tips/Tricks/Techniques

I've heard its like a bigger Tractor Supply. I'm looking forward to checking it out someday.

 

Tractor Supply, Lowe’s (with out lumber) and Dicks Sporting Goods, Harbor Frieght all rolled into one. Plus groceries and live chickens, turkeys, ducks and rabbits.

 

Once we get moved I will have to check in the one near where we are moving. I went in one a couple years ago back since it's near the inlaws and just wandered around for a couple years. Saw some really good prices on gun safes and BBQ grills lol.

 

Guess I'll have to just shop around and look here. Rural King a little bit of a drive

 

You need any mesquite, pecan or post oak. It's seasoned, I can bring some when I come down. Cut on 16-18".

 

and A reverse flow pit to use it in

But I can use some pecan in the weber. Just PM me with some info and we can make something happen

 

Design and save

 

Already got the design for the most part.

 

Send it to me and let me see what scrap I have in the racks.

 

You're gonna get me in trouble

 

If you happen to be passing thru SE KS.... Mesquite doesn't grow around here.

 

We are taking a trip to Maine when I complete my build on the truck. I will drop by with a load.

 

Tequila, food, anything is on me! You can sleep with my wife if you want.

 

Don't think my wife will go for that. LOL!!!

 

"Complete"

 

Complete enough for this trip.

 

So I started this on another forum and it applies here as well.

To all you polecats out there that produce ash and trim fat I challenge thee, lets make soap!

Since most of use produce ash and trim fat from either beef and/or pork we have most of what we need to make soap. So why not?

I am actively collecting the ashes from my lump charcoal cooks (sorry briquette users your ash doesn't work but hardwood ash from fire puts does) and putting in a kitty litter bucket. Once its 3/4 full I'll dump in a gallon or so of collected rain water and let it steep for a week or so to create lye water. In the mean time I will collect beef fat trimmings to render out into tallow.

Actually I am going to cheat the process a bit for my 1st batch of soap. I bought 2 lbs of lye (drain cleaner) and already have several pounds of tallow rendered in the freezer but I really want to try and make my own lye.

So with the above I charge all of you ash makers and fat trimmers that like a challenge to make some soap.
