Welder's gloves are what you are looking for, get a pair.

I use a percolator for tea and coffee, just like my Grandmom. It just doesn't have the hollow knob on the lid to show it's perking. Too bad, that and the smell of the fresh coffee are memories I cherish.

A bitter taste could be caused by the wood chances if the fire was not that efficient. Too much wood, not enough oxygen.

If I can find it locally, I'll mail you some. USPS flat rate boxes are only $5 and change.

I have a set of flood lights attached to the house that lights the patio. They are motion activated so if it's dark when I go out back they come on.

Gotta love good onion rings and chicken!

I love it when a plan comes together...

It's a life lesson, you should have seen the Great Chicken Fire of 1979. I damn near burnt my parents garage down, who knew chicken was that flammable?

Oh and if you can goat head that is just as good, that's what I first had in SA.

The tounge tacos are called lengua here, the head meat is commonly called barbacoa. That's how I got into it in San Antonio, I mistakenly thought it meant BBQ. Once I tried I was hooked, I should have taken the horrified look from another Cpl. From Nicaragua That it wasn't BBQ but I was hungry...

Great job!

Heck of a view from your back door!

Think "fresh".
