Setting up up my sweet new table from @Tspud1.  Seriously if you need one (or really just want one) he’s the guy to go to. 

Do the doors/drawers have a weather tight seal?

Those ribs look awesome Ron.  But you might be slightly overdue for a clean burn there, my friend.

Took 9 turkeys to the butcher tonight, they were free range so it was a bit bittersweet.  
  The toms were in the 30lb range dressed but I haven’t weighed the hens yet, going to bag 8 of them tomorrow using @kl8ton method of heat shrink bags and smoke the 9th on Friday! Can’t wait!
  Amish fellow charged $7.50 for the toms and 5 per hen to pluck and process, he said the big tom almost bested him in grappling!

magnetic closure on the door, drawers don’t have a seal, I imagine you could add some gasket material to seal them up.  I’m not worried about it in my geo and it’s under a covered patio

His MM is held together with a wing nut.  Had to tighten it up so I was comfortable carrying it for his old ass.  Just sayin.,,

also, who are you to talk about egg cleanliness?

I’m talking about egg lack of cleanliness, and on that score, I am an expert.

When you put it that way....

@JohnInCarolina
I am waaaaay past due for a clean burn. You should have seen it prior to the cook. The interior, my CGS stuff, and my DW, was covered in a greenish gray, heavy mold. I had to do a semi clean burn (>700F) for about 20 mins to get rid of that. The burn caused it to sweat the brown ooze, which took a while to clean off.
Just guessing, and I am likely on the shy side,......about 600 cooks, the majority being L&S, since my last clean burn?
Doubtful I could ever get to your level, my friend. I will say though, I am proud of the fact, the owner of the only BGE I have ever seen, that frightened away rats, for their valid fear of catching some exotic disease, called out my XL for a clean burn.
I stand amongst greatness. I am taking a bow.

@theyolksonyou
You got to do what you got to do.....wing nuts, duct tape, whatever.
That mMx is a road warrior. I have taken that bad boy on many road trips. It has been as far west as Texas, northern extreme, Michigan, Norteast in Pennsylvania, and southeast to Florida. Lest I mention trips for BB and WD. 
I was lucky the day I found the wing nut. We were camping at the Red River Gorge, when I noticed a piece was missing. I found that wing nut, on a trail, hiking close to where they hold the world championships for rock climbing.  I took it back to base camp, and it fit. I dare not mess with fate, (or for that matter, replace it for $00.29). So it stays.
Did I mention I am both Cheap and Lazy?
Just so you know, Dean Wormer was incorrect; It is actually ok to have gone through life fat, drunk and stupid.
I have successfully checked those boxes, and at least two more. I am not finished yet, even though, I was old, 20 years ago.

Awesome @alaskanassasin

Were these purely free range or did you put feed to them as well?  When I picked up Turkeys from the processor last time, there was a 44lb Tom in the fridge.  I met the owner.  She said it was about 18 months old and purely free range except maybe for 1 bag of feed.

Morning jog in the PNW. Mt Hood addition.

@kl8ton no we fed them 26% protein blended corn and soybeans but there was also 16% chicken feed out there so everyone ate whatever they wanted.
  If we do it again we will free range them with the goats because they have no respect for boundaries, apparently you can teach a chicken to stay off the porch and out of the shop but a turkey has a hard time remembering.

Unless you see this, there is no way to describe how beautiful. 
Love this Image!
Personal opinion only, but no place on earth is as beautiful as the PNW.

 Propane! Just learned something.

Yep.  Not a fan but, the industry has opted to go this way on new production units. Read the literature on R290.

Enjoying the morning, brisk and only half working.

After speaking to a buddy about that I learned the one of our local food processing facilities uses anhydrous ammonia as a refrigerant.  Pretty interesting, we knife that in the ground for corn fertilizer and call it “smoke”

Prepping chicken for a local EggFest tomorrow. Planning on serving up 200 tacos and 4 spatch chickens for good measure

Now that I have the right thread.   This has been on about 4 hours, would putting on the lid for a while help tenderize the meat?

Ammonia has been used in refrigeration for more than 100 years. A novel written a few decades ago (and later a movie) by Paul Theroux titled "The Mosquito Coast" was about a fellow that moved to the jungle and built a wood fired refrigerant operation to bring ice to the people - no electricity required.

His ice making operation didn't end well for him and his family but that wasn't because of faults in his equipment.

Good book. I liked the movie also, but mainly because I have long been in love with Helen Mirren.

Wondering if I need a Chiminea or not.

Sitting in @JohnInCarolina 's favorite airport waiting on a flight to L'ville.  So far, all systems go.

Been out of Evan Williams Black for a couple of days and tired of drinking all the weird crap that ends up collecting dust in a typical bourbon drinker's liquor cabinet. 

So onward to forage at a local store...
