    Bought a new thermometer. 


    A pretty nice rig for the money.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.

    Very nice. Where’d you buy? We’ve been tempted to do the same.

    We got it from a big regional store called The Great Escape. I was a little leary getting it from a “big box” store but they specialize in spa’s and pools. The biggest thing was they have their own service techs and don’t use a third party company if you have any i issues .

    Ranch clean up day. The guy we bought it from must have owned stock in a T-Post and wire fence business because they were everywhere. Most of them no longer protecting anything but ragweed these days. This is one of 3 loads I took to the recycler. Was total asswhip of a job but glad to have it done. Been on my list for a while.

    The first time firing up the little smoker since eliminating the lid switches. So I dump the bag of Royal Oak down the chute and I hear a thud.





    The second channellock I've had come in a bag of Royal Oak. I figured the first channellock was mine and somehow found it's way into my BGE. I like new tools but just within the last few days I asked myself why I had so many channellocks in my tool box? I guess I need a 6th. If anyone needs new/used tools Royal Oak is your charcoal....
    Kinda like a Cracker Jack prize. I’ve always quite liked Channellocks. Better than rocks!

    I do but the Rock bucket on the Bobcat makes a great post puller. He must have driven these in with a tractor bucket or something. It’s like they are in cement. Doing it with the puller was brutal. Once I got the rock bucket trick figured out, it went much faster. Cutting all the posts off the wire and rolling/stomping the wire down was its own little treat ha ha. 

    If you position the bucket to where the bumps on the t-post are 90 degrees to the machine (facing left or right when looking from the cab) you can slide the post into the grooves on the bucket and pop them out. This saved me hours of back-breaking work. Plus it’s 90 outside and the bobcat has AC lol.

    Or you can redneck engineer. I had a few that were quite deep on the property when we took possession. A car jack and some Vise grips and they were out.

    Hahaha. I know these aren't made with the highest materials but if you make it a dedicated smoker it should last awhile. I know they say you can use it at 700 degrees but you're just asking for trouble at that point. It should be just fine at lower temps. (Besides maybe the switches)

    There were probably 100 of them, all wrapped in barbed wire and wire fence. I would be out there for a month if I had to do it with a car Jack and vice grips ha ha

    Dont get me started on the waterlines. Dude laid down a web of waterlines (some functional, some not just to keep it interesting) that would make an NYC subway map look down right simple (to the uninitiated like me). We tore a bunch of them up building a road and tearing out pens and it took forever to figure out what went where.
