Just left the Wal-Mart on the Chesapeake Square Ring Road with a fully-assembled 22-inch Master-Touch for the end-of-season price of $99.00 - pretty darned good price for those living in or close to Chesapeake, Virginia...they had six or seven left, plus a number of 18-inchers for even less...

Amen to bidding adieu to the lighter fluid, Carl; but for those who mean business - like me - use one of these bad boys - they make quick work of lighting yer charcoal (although there are those in the neighborhood using the term pyromaniac when referring to me)... Regards, Rooster

I found both Netflix original series Peaky Blinders and Marco Polo to be outstanding.

Lin, I had the same problem as you with my 22.5 OTG - a couple of months ago, I ordered the gasket described above, followed the YouTube video directions - written directions are included as well - and while not 100% contained, there is considerably less smoke visible than before my...

Thanks for that update, Len (WHEW! Glad I didn't mouth Rick Browne like I had intended to :eek:) - it WAS a good magazine, hope he can get it afloat again... Regards, Rooster

Hello All: A few months back, I posted a message about a new BBQ magazine entitled Barbecue America, which looked to be a really good publication, so much so that I ordered a year's (six issues) subscription; I received my first magazine (the July/August issue) in the mail, and was not...

God bless all the cat folks! Regards, Rooster

1960's-era RUSSIAN rocket engines; it should have been expected. Quite an embarrassment to our once-proud space program.... sadly, Grissom, et al., are no doubt spinning in their graves. Regards, Rooster
