    Blizzard! An a doozy

    Glad to hear it all worked out for ya. We got hit by the same storm. The plow finally went by here about 2:00 this afternoon. I finished digging out about 3:00. Talked to my boy just before the storm hit his place about 130 miles north of here. Told him to stay put and stay warm. I worry...

    Steelhead.....Trout or salmon?

    Steelhead is a sea going rainbow trout. I prefer them to salmon. For smoking, you can do it the same as you would a similar size salmon. Incredibly delicious. Remember to post some pics.

    Qview from iphone

    There are some apps that can do it, but the ones I've found are photo editing apps. Photo bucket has an app to post to their site and you could then do the link to that from a post here. The app doesn't have the greatest reviews, though. I googled 'posting photos to Internet from ipad' to find...

    More on my iPad

    I have an older version of Living Cookbook on the desktop. Unfortunately, they don't make a version for the iPad that I can find. If they do, and you could help me find it, I'd love to try it.

    More on my iPad

    Greetings to all! I bought an iPad for lots of different reasons. Shortly after, my boy claimed my laptop. It's all good, since this does everything I did with that and is a lot more fun. I found a recipe app called Paprika. It's perfect for what I need. The ingredients list is what you type...

    SFB mod help needed

    It sounds like you want to convert your SFB to a reverse flow smoker. With that, all the smoke goes to the 'far end' then comes back over the food and exits at the same end of the smoker as the firebox. If I understand the concept of a reverse flow, the heat would also follow that path, not just...

    I don't even like myself

    One of my former Scouts (an Eagle) is there now. I know his family, as well. I can only imagine what they're going through waiting for him to come home. While I would never try to pretend to know what they (or you) are going through, I do know how I feel, having a young man who became a friend...

    Test from iPad

    Thanks for the feedback. I just noticed that I can only use the basic text editor, though. I haven't loaded any pics to the iPad yet, but hope to test that also. Oddly enough, my iPod touch still doesn't me post here. I'll be putting all my recipes on this to make portability easier. If anyone...

    Re-introduction and a little whine

    Greetings to All! Well, it's been a couple of long months here. Been working lots of overtime and rarely got time to enjoy this great obsession and the site. My busy season is over now, and I'm still on overtime (just not as much). The weather reports all week had us getting from a dusting of...

    homemade cement smoker?

    If you really want a concrete smokehouse, you should line the interior with fire brick. It's a specially formulated ceramic brick that can withstand the heat. It's not really a good insulator, but should provide enough insulation to prevent a regular concrete or block exterior from providing a...

    What's in your smoker....RIGHT NOW?? If it's empty, just say empty (shame on you, you know who you a

    Right now, it's empty. I know, shame on me...  However, in my defense, this weekend I led a youth leadership training session for about 60 Boy Scouts from surrounding counties. I set up my ECB and provided moinks for a mid morning snack and a crazy idea for mid afternoon. The moinks were a...

    Insulated charcoal smoker?

    Thanx everyone for the info, ideas and pics. Dan, your post is incredible. I think I just might rig something up like that while I keep thinking about what I want for my "premier" smoker. I could have used that about two weeks ago. Lessons learned, this is a great place and the people...
