    MES chip holder not on element

    I start it up at 180 or so and get it to just start smoking. Put my jerky in and turn back down to 140. Turning it up w/o the jerky in to begin with seems to work well in getting smoke going.

    Lowes Smoker

    Wife got me a propane smoker from Lowes. Just tried it out tonight. didn't turn out the greatest, but it was the first time. Second hopefully will be better. Took me forever to get smoke going.

    Broken Food Saver!

    I'd like to have gone 13 years. The food saver I've got won't seal and it's not 6 months old. Bad news is wife gave it to me as a gift and said she lost the receipt. Not sure what to do with it now.

    Fall planting

    Thanks for all the tips everyone. Going to do a little more garlic and maybe try the rye. Then just do some indoor growing. No, not that kind of plant. The jalapenos sound like just the thing.
