I think I'm going to smoke my turkey this year, although fried is probably my favorite when it's done right. I think that oiless cooker works somewhat like convection or maybe magic, but it does seem intriguing. But, I'm a southern girl through & through-- everything goes better with bacon! And, weed. Of course.

Keef I have smoked plenty:smoke1: :rofl: smoked lots of salmon,some halibut.
Oiler fish seams to smoke best, nice and rich... Thing is getting your brine down. On my salmon I do a brown sugar & spice brine. Gotta say it is Good!!

I love my crockpot Kraven. I cooked a huge pork roast in mine a couple weeks ago & OMG was it good. Pulled pork-- yummy! If I'd had some masa & corn husks I woulda made some killer tamales. And, beans are wonderful in the crockpot.

Good day OFC. I pass the piss test in the pass with stopping a month before hand. I am sure hoping that is the case for this month. Can't smoke on Thanksgiving Day. But, I can smoke after Dec. 14th. That is if they don't lock me up.

Cane I'll have to get that brine recipe when I get ready to smoke some fish!-- I got some Alder chips!-- Thought I'd start with some salmon and then start experimenting with some local fish !-- We got plenty speed trout -- wonder how they'd smoke? -- Red meat and bird I got covered !--

 

[Keef]

Don't U just love auto correct? -- Speckled Trout !-- We got Red fish too !

 

[yarddog]

Giggy, yeah I checked the links out. I need to do something, but it will probably be a few weeks. This plant will just have to survive on what it has. I was just wondering what speed trout was keef. Then I saw the next post. Ha-ha.

Turned out to be a beautiful day in the mitten. Cloudy as hell this morning, but the Great Glowing Ball is out and shining.

Got two RGB connectors soldered up in the bus. God, I suck at soldering. Found out my old arse can still dance when I dropped a big ole gob of molten tin on my lap.

Looks like ole Bozzo is MIA? Hope he's having a great time hunting. Gotta take a bowl of bean soup to Mom and then my buddy is coming over to help me de-seed some more buds. Should be a High time.

getting ready to convert my lawn mower engine to diesel. Turns out, it doesn't take much at all to have it running on diesel. There is debate on how long it may last. Some say minutes, some say years. One way to find out.

 

[Keef]

It's winter on the beach!-- Cloudy windy and 65 degrees ! Dog why convert to diesel? -- Hey I have discovered a new sport !-- There a club over the bay that has belt sander races !-- Any ideas on how to sup up a belt sander?

My nephew deep fried a turkey last year and from what I hear it was a disaster. Apparently, the thing everyone forgot to mention was to thaw the turkey first, because when the frozen turkey hit the hot oil it sort of exploded and started a fire. Lesson learned. Last year I cooked the turkey. It was an all day event that ended with the dogs getting the turkey carcass and some mashed potatoes. This year my son says he is going to cook. He should be home this weekend. He has been getting ideas from my friend Boner while trimming. Boner was a chef before becoming a ganja farmer.
Hippie, I think the new turkey cooker thing is infrared with a fan, sort of like convection but a little different.

Hippie, CA finally discovered Founder's Brewery. Been drinking their Breakfast Stout...good mitten beer. It's funny, back on the East Coast we were only allowed 1 4 pack at a time, because it was so popular. I asked if there were any restrictions on how much I could buy, and they laughed at me. So I bought a couple cases.

 

[Hippie420]

Yep, ya gotta thaw 'em first for sure. I cheat. I've got a long aluminum pole with a hook on the end and use it to slowly lower the bird into the oil. Haven't set the world on fire yet, but I keep a 20 pound fire extinguisher in stepping distance.

The old farts mentioned that the "new" cooker was infrared, but they didn't mention a fan. Maybe they did and then the beer kicked in.

There's a ton of micro breweries in Michigan, some decent and some flat out cat's piss. I stick with the common folk beer, Miller Lite. Figure if I get pulled over, maybe the judge will give me half the time and half the fine, 'cause it's only half beer. Sure does taste good, though.

Wow, no wonder this country is in such a mess. Just watched a boy, around 7 years old buy a candy bar. He had to have the cashier count it out for him.

Ignorant parents encourage ignorance!

The wind just blew the skin off my Hoop house..It's been a blowin,rainin, floodin its just s**** out...

[Keef]

Rough day !-- Face been nagging me all day !-- It could be worse but it wears on U after awhile ! We have a better day tomorrow! --

Well, some of my old war buddies convinced me I should apply for my VA disability again, I applied in 2005 and got denied so just never followed up...But I am at a point in my life when I really should follow up on it. I'm really funny about "living" off the government, wouldn't even get my free VA health care because I figured I was not as effed up as most who have been through the meat grinder called war. Well truth time, I am. I'll not go into it, but my wife just brought me my war box and hour ago and said open it up( I have not been in that box since 7/12/1993), I had to dry my eyes to type this, I remember all the horrible things I have put away, horrible things that just eat at me everyday....I have kept them all in there for 25 years and they have slowly poisoned me to almost insanity. Thank you for letting me speak this, I needed to say just how bad it hurts.

 

[mrcane]

Kraven,Keep filing for the disability, you deserve more..
Sorry for the demons bro.....

 

[Keef]

Sorry Kraven !-- Some boxes aren't meant to be opened !-- U might be f'ed up but that seems to be the norm up in here !-- Nursing don't help !--
