Today I smoked 3 racks of ribs, 10 pork chops, 25 or 30 jalapenos converted into [font=verdana,Sans-Serif]ABTs[/font] and 4 pounds of breakfast sausage wrapped in bacon and rolled in brown sugar, but you've all seen pictures of those things before, so I thought I'd show you what was happening practically in my front yard.
My neighbor is into antique engines and machinery and today he used the parking lot between our houses for a group of exhibitors. I warned him that I would be smoking most of the day, but I promised to make sure the folks displaying their collections would get samples so they wouldn't just be tempted by the smell.
I thought you might like to see some of what was on display.
Here is a motorized ice cream freezer. Some folks from our church were manning the ice cream truck and I think they sold about 15 gallons.
This engine is running an old turning lathe.
And this one is running a gizmo for sharpening discs (the agricultural type).
Here's one hooked up to a blower for a forge.
This is an old washing machine. It has to upside-down metal bowls (the best I can do for a description) that "stomp" up and down in the tub.
These next two pictures are an engine (first picture) and the machine it is powering (2nd picture). The machine weaves shoestrings OR the old style single strand electrical wire with its cloth covering. The guy who owns this setup told me he has seven of these braiding machines. This one has 16 spools.
