    4th of July rib dinners

    I'm not the best at taking pics as I seem to wrap before I think about pics. Anyhow, the pics of the beans and tater casserole and 3 ribs were taken last night as had several requests for pickup in morning. Having newborn daughter on the 15th, no guarantees on waking up and having time early am...

    250 people for a wedding

    Turkey fryer works great for large batches like that. I would recommend filling it no more than half with taters. You could either mash a batch at a time or put cooked taters in bowl covered and set in a cooler to stay hot and mash all at a time. I'd assume for that amount itd be a lot easier to...

Just built the vertical cabinet with dual rotisserie in April. I plan to add a sink, faucet and clean water holding tank in the near...

    Help with welding

    When using welder, is ground too hot to hang onto? Also if you have access to voltmeter, check voltage output on wire coming out of mig gun.

    Help with welding

    I agree. The gas does affect penetration, but not a lot. Just like welding with a strong wind, slightly less penetration but welds look like crap with pin holes in it. I'm kinda curious if the connection between mig gun and welder output terminal is clean as well as ground as you mentioned before

    Large BBQ

    I always try to get meat done at least an hour before serving time. I wrap in towel and place in cooler for meat to rest. For an event this large, I sliced the first brisket just prior to serving and poured a little hot beef broth over the slices so they wouldn't get dry as it was being served...

    Help with welding

    Are you pushing your weld or pulling it? You will get better penetration pushing your weld in a semi circle slightly ahead of your weld puddle. Keep your tip 1/2"-3/4" away from your work surface. Not sure of your technique but if tip touches the metal, your wire will lose some current

    Help with welding

    I'm assuming with it being 190a welder it's a 240v input and not 120v? If it's 240v, make sure extension cord is at least 6ga or 12ga for a 120v. Not sure what you have but my experience on the small portable welders is .030 wire seems to work best as the ground cables on them are small and...
