I will defiantly keep a look out for that.   What other uses besides brining.  That’s large to store for once a year

We had 18 on the guest list.   I had a really good deal on turkey so I bought it up and cooked it to freeze it.  I’ll take a pick of the freezer when done.   Makes for really good chili

No fire right?   
Would it be possible to heat the oil, when your ready to drop your turkey in turn the burner off than sink it in and then light it again?


Oh I washed my dirty max to a now clean max.   Note the new billet grill I paid $50 bucks for at the speakership

Story time,

My grandfather was much so my mentor in many things in my life, from working with my hands, hard work, so on...

When I was about 13 years old I tackled the idea of wanting to build a shed and my widowed mother and grandfather said sure we can aid in this.   

One of the tools grandpa brought out for me to use was a hand held wood plane. Beautiful wood handle polished and machined accents.  Well each night I cleaned up my cords, hammers, nails and so on.   The one night I left that plane out it rained and rusted it to Holley hell after the storm was done and the sun out I returned to my task of shed building to find that it was trashed!  Grandpa to the day he died would point out that plane in my garage and cringe at my lack of care for tools and still my lack of someone else’s tools.   

I also left a shovel to close to the bin fire at the farm and one side of that shovel is charred black and he had my purchase him a brand new shovel and he got the new one, two years after he has passed I still have that shovel from when I was a punk ass teen.  It hangs in my garage as a reminder to take of my stuff,

I can’t imagine the beating I would have taken for leaving a saw out let alone trashing it with the mower!

Fellow cookers

What is your turkey plans.  What and how do you like to cook it.    I am going to smoke mine and see how it goes.


Sorry
What ARE your plans for cooking a turkey this year?
I am planning on smoking one in the GMG and putting one in the oven.

First and foremost.   Who doesn’t have a soft spot in their heart for a regular cab short bed pickup.  Add a step side to it and I am drooling.     Red is an absolute bonus and the lift and tire size lol I it

Idea for your bumper hitch. Maybe cut some plate steel out to the right hole size and use it as a guide or washer type on the inner C portion of the frame. Should locate holes well enough, keep your hitch removable which is s big bonus vs trying to grind around leaf springs ask how I know ;) and it wouldn’t cost much $

I have a beans sump. I️ like it. I️ have an Air Dog so I didn’t have the noise issue.


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

General consensus is just install a beans sump in it than.   I’ll see what I can find for parts

I did order my trans cooler this week finally

What all you guys thoughts on unplugging my Fass 150 while I drive,   My pup hates the noise of the pump.   I was thinking while transporting the dog just simply unplug it?  Excess work on the cp3 pump maybe?

I suggest go full bore on a trans build, I tried EFI live and made a year before my trans started hitting limp mode on free way on ramps

I have the gorearend torque converter and from my knowledge it works ok, no experts in it,    EFI live is amazing and I imagine with your gearing on your truck you have a whole different level of move unlike me and JR, big tires slow things down but you get the torque and the HP to change all of those. 


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I can't speak for others, but the truck feels a lot stronger. Simply a dramatic change from before and I am not in the most aggressive tune yet.
The 37's did affect the performance some, but this was never intended to be a performance truck, just have the power to "make a get-away" in hard times with significant GWT tugging at performance. The truck feels lighter to be sure, and the trans tuning is pretty well done to compliment the new power and smoothness.
Get the speedo thing corrected and I'll be plenty happy with it.

While it feels more torque and power to your seat I can assure you that the power added will chew up that trans, race truck or not Don a torque converter won’t save it.  Those BA tires and added truck weight are a recipe for problems

Both stick welders show duty cycle of 20%

So how that plays out is that you can run that welder at full tilt for 2 mins & then you need to wait 8 mins before you start welding again.

Here is essentially that unit brand new, find a 10% off coupon to Lowe’s etc.....

https://m.lowes.com/pd/Lincoln-Electric-240-Volt-Stick-Welder/1115275?cm_mmc=SCE_PLA-_-ToolsAndHardware-_-Welding-_-1115275:Lincoln_Electric&CAWELAID=&kpid=1115275&CAGPSPN=pla&store_code=220&k_clickID=1f13a2e0-c4e3-1368-fbd0-000002fae39a&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI7d2dz-CL1wIVDweGCh2Q3As6EAQYASABEgI5RvD_BwE

Then the bottom is a miller mig unit, as stated I’ve welded with smaller. If it were me I would try to find a Hobart 187 mig. Keep your eye out, they are really good machines for the price point. I welded up a buddies tube chassis 4x4 buggy with one entirely & we abused it afterward with no issues.

The other option is to find a good old large used stick welder. Keep your eye open for shop & farm sales & always look at duty cycle. I’d rather have something in neighborhood of 60-100% duty cycle. And for the record normally you can run past the 20% for a bit but at some point you will smoke the internals doing so. Same goes for mig welders, even the high end units can have their circuit boards get fried etc which is costly to get repaired.

Just my 2 cents....

Knowledge gained :)

What’s the duty cycle on that stick welder?

I’ll post the add for you to read. I have never researched it

Good info Bear. I’m 14-16 ft to the lower eave because of the foundation and 12ft walls. I’d have to make some temp scaffolding. That telehandler is 21000 lbs and ain’t cheap and I bet it has to be delivered. A lot of hassle and expense if it won’t be effective

You can sheet from inside Tex, slip first sheet on from inside and build up from there or you can measure from your tails up the four feet Chalk a line across and start first sheet from the four foot mark and you can stand on the top of the wall

We had an interesting conversation about lost siblings, those in the family who have fallen away from the lord.   It was pointed out that even or father lost children, those who followed Satan could be viewed as lost children who fell away from the lord.   Interesting thought for sure

Dave did you weld that lying flat or uphill?

Reason is, you use two different techniques when welding vertical with stick vs mig

With a Mig you can weld going down, starting from the top. If its adjusted right, it will fill in just fine

But you start at the bottom and go up with a stick welder. Plus with a stick you go left-right-left, touching each piece as you proceed upward and pause just long enough to control the puddle. Its all about the puddle of melt with the stick and going uphill. On the welding test I took back in the day, that and overhead welding were the two big challenges.

A stick in the hands of someone like Shawn is a magical thing. Mig has less finesse in my view, but it gets the job done easily and is very forgiving. Stick welding requires practice and a pretty steady hand.

Technically, you're not supposed to weld down with a mig either. If it's a structural weld I would advise against it.

Don is correct though that there is no weld with a stick called vertical down, it doesn't exist.

Lost with vertical down? I welded that with the plate against the frame, couldn’t lay it on its side.   

I understand vertical to be as if you were welding up or down a wall. A vertical surface.   

A flat would be something like on a table or horizontal joint,

Tube is simply tube.   

Upside down would leave me burned and on fire I assume
