You have my post about doing almonds? I Love those buggers!

 

[smokeys my pet]

It's the 3405bgw from wallyworld. I added the two homemade dampers and put a flat 3/4" gasket around the door. The darn thing didn't come with any dambers at the bootom so I put one on each side to help the updraft since I saw a few with them.Next I will be adding the plug in the side I have seen others do to run the wires through. Already have it just need to get-r-done.

Nice! Sigh... sometimes I wish I could just quit building s^$t and go BUY something for once. It'd prolly be cheaper! LOL!

Enjoy!

 

[smokeys my pet]

Deb, Thanks again for the fast response and reciepes the first one on the list sounds like a real winner.I hope my order get's here soon from Calif. so I can try these out.

Looks like butter is a must to get seasoning to stick and may/will try a few of my own season varieties.

Thanks again

Your welcome hon!

I use margarine that works too but I aways say butter.

 

[backlash]

That don't work either. I just bought a GOSM, and I'm already planning mods.
I haven't even seasoned it yet!!!!
