    Is this electrical box worth anything?

    Client is having a large building taken down. This cut off 400 AMP box is there for the taking. But is it worth it? Do they still use fuze type boxes?

    Semi boneless leg of lamb tips....

    Haven't had lamb in yrs, so I figured I'd smoke this on the pellet grill. It's just a tad over 6lbs. Do I marinate or just rub it, and with what? What pit temp, and IT? What seasonings complement lamb? Thanks in advance...

    Wild turkey

    Brined overnight. Stuffed with cream cheese, wild leeks, green peppers, and garlic. All wrapped up in a bacon weave and of course some rub on the outside. Came out fantastic. Tender and juicy.

    Whole hog question...

    I've done many whole hogs on my pit. 250 gal reverse flow.... Some skin up, some skin down. Always fantastic. Either way I protect the belly with heads of cabage. However, I've have a request to do skin side down. Here's the part I've never done before. They want the belly filled with...

    Note to self....

    Don't forget to close all dampers, chimney, drain valve ECT. Left my draft dampers open on my stick burner after it's last cook few weeks ago. Opened it up today to get some smoke therapy, and there had to be a couple hundred acorns stored in there. Definitely ticked off some critter today.
