      Oh boy teen girls and their feelings. One night, a few months back, the wife was explaining the reality of a situation vs what my daughter perceived and the daughter responded with “well that how YOU feel”. Man I’m getting torqued again just rethinking it. I better just stop. lol I’m sure we can just imagine how that conversation went.

        Haha! I remember a come to Jesus conversation with each of my kids regarding the “emotional conversations” vs. “pragmatic/logical fact based conversations”. Thank God they got the message before I was sent to jail LOL!

          Ridley Acres ?Dr_Pain You guys made my morning while talking about “real life” experiences and perceptions of people with “feelings”. I’ve had to pick my jaw off the floor a number of times when I heard the “perceptions” of kids or others because many times, I could not imagine how they came up with 1% of those thoughts. (I had to restrain myself many times from yelling out the word “WHAT???”) I sit here smiling and almost crying at the same time. Thanks for making my morning a smiling one.

            Dr_Pain I say, go for it. Weather our community wants a cookbook or not, as long as Walton’s doesn’t prevent me, I want to do a Meatgistics cookbook. This would, to my knowledge, be the first cookbook to include a section on Nutria.

            Now, Just how cool would that be…

              Well I jumped in and started asking questions immediately before finding this area. I want to thank those of you that already have answered questions! Sorry, I don’t know how to add your names to this post.

              I’m from Silvis IL.

              I was a retail meat cutter for Eagle Foods for thirty years. After they closed, I started working for Rock River Arms as a custom 1911 pistol smith for seventeen years and retired last year.

              I’ve been smoking sausage on and off for the last twenty five years. I also smoke briskets and make Canadian bacon.

              My current smoker is a small SmokinTex that I’ve modified to maintain consistent low temps while still producing smoke.

                              ND Mike and wdaly Thanks for the tip on how to tag someone.

                              ND Mike I didn’t really modify the smoker. I only use the element for heat. I use a smoke tube with pellets in the bottom of smoker to create the smoke and it keeps smoking no matter whether the element is on or not.

                              I still have temp swings as the element cycles on and off. So then I have a six inch powered duct fan that you can buy at any home improvement store. I place that over the small vent hole on top. When the temp starts to climb over the max I want I turn on the duct fan to drop the temp down. This also provides enough oxygen to keep the smoke tube going. It’s the most control I’ve ever had over temp swings.

                              I’m wondering if I wired the the duct fan in to the thermostat on the smoker if would be a little more automated.

                                  ND Mike I just realized that wiring the duct fan into the smoker thermostat won’t work. It would just cycle on and off with the element. I think I need an additional thermostat and sensor to control just the duct fan.

                                    Well I jumped in and started asking questions immediately before finding this area. I want to thank those of you that already have answered questions! Sorry, I don’t know how to add your names to this post.

                                    I’m from Silvis IL.

                                    I was a retail meat cutter for Eagle Foods for thirty years. After they closed, I started working for Rock River Arms as a custom 1911 pistol smith for seventeen years and retired last year.

                                    I’ve been smoking sausage on and off for the last twenty five years. I also smoke briskets and make Canadian bacon.

                                    My current smoker is a small SmokinTex that I’ve modified to maintain consistent low temps while still producing smoke.
