    In vertical smoker, I like to keep the fat side down to protect the meat from the radiant heat come from the bottom and the fat cap does a great job with this. Another reason why not to trim a brisket before smoking.

    Which is one of the lesser reasons why I am leaning this route. I am just wondering if anyone else has had to deal with this here and if so, their thoughts on the whole situation.

    My thoughts are not religious as a whole, there is some religion there, but more personal beliefs. If I was meant to have a kid, then I would be able to naturally.

    Practically speaking, yes. We are not going to do any type of major invitro to try and force the issue. I have personal beliefs on this matter so this is where we are at.

    So thinking this is the thread to post in for this, but does anyone have any experience with sperm clinics and/or adoption to have a kid? We recently found out I am unable to father kids of my own and now are headed down this path. I am personally behind the sperm clinic route, that why the Mrs...

    I rarely complain, but when I do, you can bet they did something horribly wrong. On the other hand, when I have someone give me awesome service or the food came out fantastic, I will go at lengths to speak with the manager, district folks, or chef to let them know how good of a job was done...

    Grills

    I used these before I got my propane torch and they worked great. I would actually put the parafin down in the starter itself and then light them with charcoal in direct contact. A little trick to get paper to burn longer, spray some Pam or put vegetable oil on the paper before putting it...

    I have been taking one of these with me camping and camping with my folks for the past 15-20 years and it is still going strong. Simply wrap the grate with some foil and you will extend the life by several years. These things work great and it fits great anyway and travels well. Don't fret...

    The propane is for the burner only. That is the one thing I wanted was a propane gas assist for the firebox but I can always add this later for a nominal cost. There is a damper that separates the vertical from the horizontal sides. I will be grilling in the firebox side ( there is a grate...

    I got a hell of a deal for it on Craigslist, $2,000. The original owner stored this bad boy in the garage for the past four years so it has been well maintained. He also threw in the the propane bottle for the burner as well. The backside has some storage area for wood as well.

    1. We are not talking about machine guns, those are already heavily regulated, we are talking about semi-automatic rifles. Also, if someone owns the land and wants to go shoot down one of his/her own trees, that is their right to do so. I may or may not agree with it, but I agree with the right...

    If I were you, I would just grill the baby back ribs. I can get the same flavors from grilling and smoking on baby backs. If you want some good smoked ribs, buy spare ribs and smoke those. Spare ribs are made for smoking, baby backs for grilling. Just my 2c.

    No you can not grow a gun in your closet, true. But all guns and ammo are not manufactured in America either. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/6294242.stm) Ask the drug dealers how hard it is to setup a delivery system.
