RN, you the frau and the 2 girls might leave there a little huskier than when you arrived.  besides, do you even have a smoker up there?

Not yet. I've got a line on some 26 inch pipe and was looking at some designs. Maybe you can christen it.

So Nate, if I am looking at their smokers correctly, they have a square firebox feeding the horizontal smoking pit pipe and then the reverse flow back into the top square box, where that top box can be used as a smoker or warmer based on whether the damper from the main smoke chamber is open or closed.  The main smoke chamber and the warmer box have their own stack.

The warmer chamber would get its smoke from the reverse flow of the main chamber but also use heat from the fire box below even though there is not a direct airflow, the warmer/smoker box would get radiated heat from the fire box.

Does that sound right?

That's my understanding of how reverse flow cookers work RN... I know that's how the Lang's work.

Here's a Lang rep explaining their warmer... and options associated: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ep0i50Ku-04

rn, here is the answer from paul shirley the owner and manufacturer of the smoker in question.

Yes this is somewhat correct... The warmer get radiate heat from the firebox... Being the top of the firebox.. Is the bottom of the warmer .. We have a standard damper from main chamber to warmer.. When opened this allows additional heat and smoke into the warmer... You can get an upgrade... It is a damper from dirbox to warmer.. This allows you to get the warmer up even hotter .... ideally to use the warmer as a vertical cooker.... Hope this helps.... I will check.... The link out.... Thx

Those ribs look good. Might have to make some this weekend, and top them with a "spicy" BBQ sauce.

Sophie and me makin' apple crisp from the neighbor's tree during half time of the Hawk's/Lions game. We also did some deep fried Jalapeños with fresh pico de gallo and some salsa bake chicken breast w/ rice. No pics of those, but super easy; 4-6 frozen breasts in a casserole dish, cover with salsa of choice and bake at 375 for 45 min or until juices run clear. Stupid easy and very tasty.

She's all over anything I do. Cooks with me all the time and any time I'm working on the cars she's handing me screw drivers or looking for something to take apart. We make all of our lunches together at night and she has her little Hello Kitty lunch box that she packs up herself. She didn't actually like the apple crisp though, ironically.

Being that we are in full swing of harvest and the wife in the the grain cart our supper menu has been different.  We have to get everything ready in the morning before work. One day we just got a jar of canned meat out of the basement. Thats what it there for. Delicious. Then we got the crock pot out and made a roast the next morning. We were too tired to do much clean up that night was a long one. Next day I decided to put pork chops in the crock pot but it was still dirty and we are running late already.  Wife pulls out her spare. I knew there was a reason I keep her around. Pork chops with cream of mushroom soup over the top cooked on low for 13 hours. Didn't really even have to chew it. Kinda just fell apart. Tonight is going to be Mc Donalds. Have to go get the kids from my ex for the weekend.

People like you and OldKootie and Miss Kay, your families and people like you are what makes us good still.

I wish it were better for you than you are treated financially from all your labor.

May God watch over and keep all farmers close at hand. That no harm should come to you, and that you would reap a bountiful harvest from all your hard work. As the crops issue forth from the earth so are you a rich part of the earth. Provide for all of their needs and much, much more. In the name of Jesus, Amen!

I've already got the nightmares. She likes daddy's diesel a lot more than mommy's turbo Passat. She wants to be a cook or a doctor because she "likes to cut the meat". we'll be fishing soon and hunting soon I'm sure as she already knows you have to kill the chicken and the fish to eat them.

She had mommy straighten it once. got home and she asked if I liked it. I said, well honey I like it but I like your regular hair better. she said, yeah I think I look funny, can I get my old hair back?

you could always get you a few cases of MRE's for occasions like that jon

Ive been wanting to get some but they are so darned expensive. The only ones Ive found reasonable was some lady had some in her dirty old basement shes had them for years. Probably still good but I passed.

Being that we are in full swing of harvest and the wife in the the grain cart our supper menu has been different.  We have to get everything ready in the morning before work. One day we just got a jar of canned meat out of the basement. Thats what it there for. Delicious. Then we got the crock pot out and made a roast the next morning. We were too tired to do much clean up that night was a long one. Next day I decided to put pork chops in the crock pot but it was still dirty and we are running late already.  Wife pulls out her spare. I knew there was a reason I keep her around. Pork chops with cream of mushroom soup over the top cooked on low for 13 hours. Didn't really even have to chew it. Kinda just fell apart. Tonight is going to be Mc Donalds. Have to go get the kids from my ex for the weekend.

People like you and OldKootie and Miss Kay, your families and people like you are what makes us good still.

I wish it were better for you than you are treated financially from all your labor.

May God watch over and keep all farmers close at hand. That no harm should come to you, and that you would reap a bountiful harvest from all your hard work. As the crops issue forth from the earth so are you a rich part of the earth. Provide for all of their needs and much, much more. In the name of Jesus, Amen!

Thank you.

They'll still taste the same. Liberally dosed with a hot sauce of your choice and mixing some packets together makes a rather decent "stew."

So for dinner I'm making:

Pepper jack stuffed meatballs and spaghetti. I saw the recipe cross my wall on Facebook, so I decided to give it a shot. It came from the Facebook page "Tasty". It was originally Mozzarella stuffed meatballs, but I don't have Mozzarella; however I do have some pepper jack cheese. You have to cut the cheese into cubes, and form the meatball around them.

Recipe:
1 lb ground beef
1 lb hot Italian sausage
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 tsp salt
1 tsp black pepper
1 cup bread crumbs (I used Italian bread crumbs, since that's what I had on hand)
1/4 cup Parmesan (I used shredded Parmesan, grated probably would work fine as well)
2 eggs
1/2 cup whole milk (I used skim)
1/2 cup Parsley

Put the tomato sauce of your choice or own design into a crock pot, layer meatballs and sauce. I added a liberal amount of Sriracha sauce to add some extra flavor and heat. Cook on high for 2 or 2.5 hours.

In accompaniment to the stuffed meatball spaghetti I'm having some garlic Naan bread. Not making this on my own, just using the package I picked up at the grocery store for somewhere around $3. Anyway, I'll update this on how it all turns out.

Darn guys, stop it!!

I am still thinking about the pork chops and mushrooms in the crock pot!!


Last night was simple, the wife and kids snacked at the mall, so I was left to my own;

I sliced up some fresh mushrooms and sauteed in garlic, butter, olive oil. Added chopped smoked ham and dumped it into scrambled eggs. Threw some chopped cilantro and sprinkled cheese and hot sauce over it all.
