    Retired small town Police Chief (30 years) Also own and operate Security business installing security cameras, access control and alarm systems. I had to take early retirement due to medical issues. Now enjoy the forums and making all types of snack sticks, sausage, brats and anything else I can put into a smoker. I just recently finished converting a large commercial refrigerator into a smoker.

      Retired157 I’m a retired prof and research manager and have been retired for 28 years and I’m so busy I wouldn’t have time to go to work now. Sure hope the USA border opens so I can go to Alaska and fish for sockeyes this coming July

            ND Mike yeah I’m working 12hr nights and saw this. So I reread the whole thing and enjoyed it as much as I did the first time. At least it’s off to a good start. 👍

                          I’m always curious what everyone does for a profession in these groups. It is always cool to see how diverse we are. I am a State Trooper and have been since 2007. Prior to that I worked many years in home construction and taught second grade right out of college.

                                  mfrievalt congrats on your retirement. Small town cop is a whole different game. I grew upnin a small town and it can be very political depending who thinks they run the town.

                                          Yes it’s an Auber WiFi PID and the heating element is a 1800 watt Masterbuilt replacement I found on EBay for $40.00
