    Great review.  I have had the 20 inch for a little over a year now and really like it.

    Need Gloves ASAP! Where & What Kind?

    I also use the gloves from Costco.  A little tight for my giant hands but they work well.

    Where do you buy your meat Iowa smokers?

    I use Costco, Walmart and Fareway. I have been in that place on the south side. They had some packer briskets and IBP ribs. Prices were about the same per lb as everywhere else.

    Which WSM to Buy?

    I have the 18.5. It is a great smoker, but there have been times I wish it were a bit wider. Full briskets and racks of ribs are about the exact diameter of the smaller WSM. Both prices look good and I am sure you will enjoy either one.

    Need Labels printed, suggestions?

    I have used http://myownlabels.com/ to label some homebrew bottles for Christmas and for a beer that I made for a friend's wedding. They are a regular advertiser in the homebrewing magazines for small runs of labels.

    Glass Vs Plastic carboy

    I use both. For quick fermenting beers I use plastic buckets. Easy to clean and pretty cheap at the homebrew store. Once they start to get scratched, I use them to store grain or sanitizer. I use the glass for secondary and longer fermenting times. I keep the glass carboys in milk crates to...

    Census.....

    I will fill mine out completely and accurately. I'm not too paranoid about it. There are so many other ways for the bad guys to get an individual's personal information that this does not worry me.

    Ribs and WSM

    I like that site for WSM specific info. I have used sand in the water pan for a few years now and it works great. I just put foil over the top of the pan to make clean up easy and keep the sand clean.

    First car.....

    I turned 16 in 1991. First vehicle was a 1973 Ford F100 truck. It was such a beautiful shade of orange. Didn't run when I got it but with the help of a few beers, my friends got it all running for me. To put it in perspective, the smoker I have on order cost me 7 times the cost of that...

    Ghost In My House?

    That is odd. I searched a bit and found someone else with the same result and the advice given was that the powercfg command needs to be run closer to when the computer woke up. So try running that the next time it happens and hopefully it gives some meaningful info.

    Ghost In My House?

    First thing we need to figure out here is what is causing your pc to wake from sleep. You can do this using the powercfg command. Open up a command prompt and enter powercfg -lastwake When I run this I get as my Wake Source Type: Fixed Feature Power Button, because I last woke this laptop up...
