A cut down modified piece of gutter will accomplish the mission. A smal shovel and a section of gutter gets the job done.

Small briskets, less than 11 pounds dry out too quick. I did one and at the end it was a brick. Select a bigger brisket under 13 #, it cooks longer (is that a word?) but will cook better especially if you don't trim it. Better yet, ask your butcher if he knows what a sirloin tip is, down here...

Hold your horses! Yes I'm sure it's great but there is a ton of meat out there to be smoked, be adventurous.

Air, you need air. Take the lid off and let the charcoal get hot. Open the vents all the way. I have gotten my Kettles so hot you suffered getting near them. If it's a longer cook just set the lid off one side, temps will rocket up.

Being allergic to a food is a medical excuse, it gets a pass. I feel bad for people who are allergic to foods. Mom makes stuff then demands I try it, she serves things I hate but I eat anyway because she went to the trouble of making the meal. If I am invited to dinner I always eat what I'm...

Oh, I checked the phone line it works fine.

Rico would bite me otherwise. A 2004 Dell desktop finally failed. I don't know what part of it failed but my fax software would not send. The fax modem checked out. There is something wrong with the hard drive or motherboard, I hooked up the 2003 I owned and it said it had a bad disk. I...

You can make your own pork fat by getting a side of bacon and slow roasting it too.

Manteca is just butter, do a Google for duck fat or beef tallow. The dog sleeps on my book, I don't dare to disturb him. He would demand scratches for hours. He's almost a Marine, just won't quit.

I know I will miss them, I miss my Grandparents dearly. It's just that to accommodate them and my sister limits me to showing up for pork loin that has been vulcanized. Hot sauce and baked bean sauce isn't doing it anymore.

I mean come on, mushrooms are just flavor sponges. Mom gets sick just thinking about them. God has a funny sense of humor, giving a former grunt a sense of taste and the ability to cook but no audience. When my nephew was in Boy Scouts I made cinnamon rolls from a tube over a camp fire. I...

Chimney, hands down.

JRP, I do and will. DB, tastes change, it takes time. I was in my thirties before I learned to love anything but American Cheese. Now I savor all the stinky nasty cheese that anyone makes. In fact I look for it. My parents were horrified, apparently they never made the conversion. I guess...

After a year you will want a Performer. Just a warning, it's on wheels and has a side table, you will be tempted. I was and I never looked back.

They all have their dislikes, it's cooking around them that's the pain. I test a recipe and like it but my mistake is revealing the ingredients. Dad doesn't like soup unless it's cold out. I talk too much about the recipe. When I do cook something I like I talk about it.. Chickens, cattle...

Scrape down the sides, get a new door. I had a runaway fire from residual fat, damn thing looked like a flame thrower. No damage but the inside had to be brushed, washed and re seasoned. All of the seasoning had burned and was flacking off. It was a mess.

Oh yeah, end of rant.

Every damn time I find an interesting recipe, there is always one of my family who won't eat an ingredient. Mom, mushrooms and fish, etc. Dad wo't eat soup. Cooking around them has become has become a hassle. It limits the ingredients, choices of entrees. I gave up, they can eat hamburgers...

Élan, my baby girl was a huge GSD, 6 years in Iraq and 4 in Afghanistan as an EDD. 10 when I adopted her, she passed earlier this year at 12. I knew that was the end game, I provided her warmth in the Winter, A/C in the Suumer and she shed like a Siberian. I was drowning in fur. She hated dogs...
