    Enough is Enough (update w/ pics)

    Looking at that pic, the guy on the right has it right. The guy on the left is either skeeter control or he's putting up a smoke screen to hide the good 'que nextdoor. lol

    Smoker build??

    I've read in this forum and others that you should not use a tank that was used for petroleum products ( fuel oil, oil, kerosene, gas, etc.....). Steel is porous, like the pores on our skin, and the petroleum fills the pores, almost like the steel absorbs it. You can never get all of it out of...

    “Cutting Meat, Meat Cutters Exchange and local places to buy your meat”

    When I worked in the grocery business I hung out with the meat cutters. An old timer told me instead of buying "rib eye" steaks most butchers and cutters took "chuck eyes". He said the only thing seperating the chuck and rib sections was a fine line of fat/gristle and they cost half of the price...

    creating my own rub?

    Paprika is a mildly sweet pepper that can be anywhere from mild to hi-medium hot. Not as hot as cayenne, but adds some heat, flavor ( if fresh ) and color to your rub. I agree with Fire It Up about growing conditions and the strain of pepper used. Here's an idea to check your paprikas flavor...

    Cheriyaki CSR and other goodies - q-view and progress

    Hau Kola Tasunka Witko, that whole spread looks delicious. Nice mix of meat going on there. How did the sucker ( and trout ) turn out ? When I was a kid I lived in northern Michigan. Old refigerators didn't die up there, they became fish smokers and the fish of choice was either white sucker or...

    mosquitos!

    I just recieved an e-mail a couple of days ago that said to use Listerene mouthwash as a mosquito controller. They put it in a spray bottle, spray the area they are going to be using and have no skeeters bothering them. The e-mail said they had used it on the patio, pool deck and lawn with...

    Welcome to SMF and thanks for the spice connection. I looked at their selection and then the price list. Their prices are very reasonable. Enjoy the forums, there is lots of info here. Peace, Wanbli

    Lowell, MI Riverwalk Festival BBQ Comp

    It is a small world. I live on Stanley Road just west of Saginaw Street. We've been here for 9 years, moved from the north end of Flint. E-mail me @ [email protected] and we'll exchange numbers. If this weekend doesn't work out who knows, maybe we'll get together a little later on. Peace, Wanbli

    A Powerful Message from Stevie Wonder, On Michael Jackson’s Death… (I hope)

    I heard that the funeral arrangements have finally been made. A plasic company bid on the body. Their plan is to recycle it into LEGGOs so little boys can play with him

    Lowell, MI Riverwalk Festival BBQ Comp

    Heck that's just down M-21 from us, we live in Mount Morris just north of Flint. I think it's about a 2 hour or so ride. I'll ask my wife when she gets up and about if she'd like to check it out. I'm inclined to say yes we'll be there. If she agrees I'll let you know and we can exchange phone...

    Smoke Pistol

    The only thing about those pics that concerns me is it looks like galvanized pipe. I've always heard you keep galvanized out of the cooking area. No exceptions. Other than that it looks like a good setup. Like you posted, quick and easy to move from one grill to another with the union, just...
