    Fantast pics

    Sorry. I hit the post button before I inserted these. It does seem flimsy but I figure its a pretty good deal for $7.62. Brian

    Fantast meat therm test

    Well I finally got around to testing the Fantast meat thermometer I purchased at Ikea. It has a 40 inch braided steel cord on the probe. You can program a temp into it and it will beep when it reaches the temp. I did the boiling water test and it read 213 degrees. I can live with that especially...

    fantast meat therm

    I just purchased a "Fantast" meat thermometer at Ikea in Seattle. The price was 7.62 with tax. Its a digital single probe with a braided steel connection wire. The price was too good to pass up. I havent even opened it up yet but figured that others may be interested. I will report back about...

    Maverick Remote

    Do the boiling water thing to make sure its accurate. I had to have one replaced because it was off. Do not rest the smoker probe directly on the grill. Brian

    Help with ET-73

    I think by pressing the "smoker hi/hr" and or "food hi/clear" buttons it will reset and you can then reprogram it. If you only want to turn off the alarm the press the "start/stop" button. Brian

    Show your dog

    This is my best friend. She's not with us anymore. She was an angel. When we adopted her from the Humane Society they had no records of her. So we figured she came from heaven. She was very affectionate. She could sense when you werent happy and she would come to you. Try and cheer you up...

    HELP! messed up a post

    Thanks Ron. Really sorry about that but the page that my post was on is still really wide. Unless you have a 6 foot wide monitor you have to scroll sideways to read it. Can the page be restored? I feel real stoopid I will try to post again and I hope that I can get it right. Thanks Brian

    Temperature control system testing this weekend

    That is what I would call state of the art. Perhaps rigging a cutoff switch on the lid to kill the fan? Sort of like a light switch on a refigerator. What are the rocks on the bottom of your rig for? Brian

    dell ink cartridges ?

    Thanks for the response. We don't have a Staples in Hawaii and from doing business with Dell we are leery of mail ordering everytime we run low on ink. They have us paranoid about receiving wrong merchandise and getting a sales pitch while trying to get an order straightened out. I guess a new...

    dell ink cartridges ?

    I didnt know where else to post this so I hope its appropriate here. We have a Dell printer and can't find any other source for cartridges but the Dell people. According to my wife they have screwed up two out of two orders. Is there any other source for their cartridges? Our next step is to get...

    test with pics

    The meat is not rubbery but firm. Its softer than beef jerky but its almost like dried meat. The kind of tako used in sushi bars is a different type so I can't say if the texture would be any different if prepared this way. Next time I will try and post pics of the finished product. But only if...

    smoked octopus

    Its actually common in Hawaii. And there are many ways of preparing and cooking them. People go skin diving for them and it is an art in itself to find them. They are masters of disguise and, as a friend showed me once, you can be staring directly at them and not know its there. Anyway to...

    test with pics

    This is a tako (octopus) that I recently smoked. The hole in the head is where the beak was. I forgot to take the "after" pics. I was too eager to eat it. It turned out ok but not great. The indignity that a dog suffers at the hands of children Thanks for the advice from glued2it...

    how to I post pics?

    I tried to paste two pics in a recent post and they appeared side by side. I read the sticky by glued2it and tried to follow it carefully but I must have meesed up. I also could not caption or write in the post. I think I managed to resize the pictures down to 600X800 at photobucket so next time...

    white smoke

    Sorry I don't know why but the pics did not post right and I couldn't caption it. First pic is at 165 before foiling and next is at 205. I think I went too long. It was dry. There was no creosote or bitterness but also smoke flavor was not strong enough. Next time I'll stop at 195? Live and...
