Ha HA! I just did two big cap kits in Chuftember. Glad I'm out of those woods.

Helped my friend turn a 4 drawer file cabinet into a smoker.
It's pretty cool. Burner and chips in bottom drawer, water tray in 2nd drawer, meat in top two drawers.

Sorry, didn't get any pics.
It's a bit underpowered(by a single burner campstove), so it's probably useless since the weather got colder.

Hopefully I'll get something done this weekend to be chuffed about.
I gots to now, so I can have something to post!

Thats pretty bad ass. Could always do cold smoking in the cold weather. Smoked cheese and peppers and all that.

Smoked cheese and peppers sounds good about right now.

Cold smoking is where you shove a soldering iron into your kid's bag of hamster bedding, right?

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #14 on:** October 07, 2015, 08:16:47 pm »

I thought cold smoking was when Willie Nelson and/or Snoop Dogg invites you on their tour bus on a cold winter evening.

Not arcade related, but I used my tools and skillset to build Mrs. Yotsuya a new outdoor tabletop out of reclaimed wood...

I started a little cocktail cab 2 years ago. I finished it the other day, and it promptly sold for $350. I was happy to reclaim the real estate.

Howard_Casto · « **Reply #18 on:** October 12, 2015, 07:03:35 pm »

Looks great guys!

I didn't really do anything Halloweeny this year, too busy and I feel too bad... I put up the bare minimum of decorations and the graveyard.... no tricks or fog machines or anything.

I did sort out some electrical issues with the Camaro..... now if I can only get the frikkin speedometer fixed. I also thought of a solution to the broken connector tab (for the rear defrost) on my back strut as well.... I still have the old set so I'll just de-solder the tab from the old one and put it on the new one.

Smoker is now on wheels. Chopped off an old grill from it's base to make this.

I tried making something like that for my mom a few years ago. Yours turned out a lot nicer looking than mine. Nice job.

pbj · « **Reply #21 on:** October 13, 2015, 09:27:28 am »

That looks legit, but if you wanted portability why didn't you go with propane? (don't get me wrong, I prefer electric smokers)

Vigo · « **Reply #22 on:** October 13, 2015, 10:34:26 am »

Thanks! A couple things. Half the reason I wanted it on a cart was to simply get it further off the ground. Made more sense to do a cart, especially since I had an old grill rotting next to my house and begging for me to use it's base. I also just went with electric because I am too new to smoking to trust my instincts with propane. Electric seems more foolproof. I bought one of those 12 hour pellet maze trays, so I don't even need to bother filling the wood chip loader for long smokes.

So far, I am pretty happy with my results.

Everyone is looking at the best BBQ in Minnesota right there. I've been to that state, I know.

Vigo · « **Reply #24 on:** October 13, 2015, 10:47:46 am »

Not gonna deny, I live in a state known for soup, if anything.

Anyone else watch BBQ with Franklin? http://www.pbs.org/food/features/bbq-with-franklin-season-1-episode-1-brisket/

Dunno what it is, but I like that show.
Showing someone sitting next to the cooker all night, drinking a beer and pissing around on their phone resonates with me.
Much better than those cooking shows where it's just someone dumping premeasured ingredients into a bowl, then showing the final product.

My local PBS just started airing Steve Reichlen's back catalog of shows rapid-fire, but I just can't seem to get into them.
They all have different names, but use identical formats down to the sets.

pbj · « **Reply #26 on:** October 13, 2015, 12:52:51 pm »

I still don't know how that guy managed to become the face of BBQ but more power to him. Either he or the dude he's got a blood feud with when he stole all the recipes was working at a place in Bryan, TX years ago and word was getting around about this awesome BBQ coming out of this dump on the edge of town.

So I ride there once and what was the special....

Fried catfish.

Still get a chuckle out of that blown opportunity. This state has gone full retard on "it's not any good if you don't stand in line for an hour" which is a trend I won't indulge.

BadMouth · « **Reply #27 on:** October 13, 2015, 01:43:13 pm »

Was not aware of a feud. Googled it.
Most stories were hard to follow.
This song was the best summary I found:
http://brisketman.com/the-tale-of-franklin-mueller-lewis/

It seems John Lewis has moved shop to Charleston, SC.
I might just have to ride the scooter down there this spring.

pbj · « **Reply #28 on:** October 13, 2015, 01:58:00 pm »

Yeah, that song sums it up pretty well. I think it was cocaine and not booze, though. It's always cocaine. San Antonio had a good place where the cokehead dropped dead and his cokehead brother took it over. Eventually the Chinese people across the street bought it and kept all the cooks. God bless the weird diversity a visit to that place entailed.

One of my biggest regrets in my time there was not deigning to eat "strip mall BBQ" until right before I moved. It was $42 for sausage, chicken, brisket, beans, etc and it'd take us a week to eat it. Or you could stupidly pay $15 a plate for something you could finish in 10 minutes.

I don't really think a restaurant can turn out good BBQ at a price people are truly willing to pay.

Meh, if some little ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- ran off with my grill when I was down and out and turned into a celebrity, I'd be kind of pissed, too.

The Visit was a solid movie. Honestly, I've enjoyed everything he's done besides Airbender.

Chuffed to be making progress on remodeling my bathroom. Got most of the reframing and electrical done. An old galvanized vent needs moved before I can frame for built in shelves.
Still need to install a new exhaust fan and vent in the roof which I'm not looking forward to. I hate working in the attic.

I'm a bit pissed at myself for using unrelated structural issues as an excuse to put this off.
I could have had this done two months ago.
