yeah that's the only problem with what I have here,,,,you can roast a 12 to 15 lb turkey in it,but that's max

 

[Taver13]

you know, i have never tried to smoke an entire turkey. how is it?

 

[Donald Bickers]

the stove in the house gets very little use in the summertime here

 

[Donald Bickers]

awesome,,,,,you have to inject it first,i use beer and butter,,,,,and seasonings of course

 

[Taver13]

same here, i think i use it to make pasta, and even with that, ill use the side burner on the grill most times

 

[Taver13]

awesome,,,,,you have to inject it first,i use beer and butter,,,,,and seasonings of course

i like injecting garlic cloves in things, especiall beef roasts and pork loins

 

[Taver13]

clove goes well too, stick em in overnight and pull em out before you cook

 

[Vaperjim]

@Vaperjim how does the russian compare to the kayfuns?

It is pretty identical. Did you drill air hole?

I miss living in Florida for all the fresh seafood. I used to scuba dive a lot and loved lobster season.

i enjoyed living in florida slightly, but i just enjoy the type of fishing we have up here compared to there

 

[Vaperjim]

yessir

My reference was, are you working on ground, or in water?

[Taver13]

ah, i gotcha, both actually, most of the early spring is summerizing and launching boats that have been blocked up on land for the winter. early summer the in water repairs start happenening. anything major, the boat is coming out of the water. then fall is hauling boats out and winterizing.

 

[Vaperjim]

Is there much work to keep ya busy in the winter, or is it seasonal? My neighbors have a boat, go skiing and tubing with em a couple times a year.

i do a few major jobs in the winter, like big motor swaps and what not, things people dont want to do in season so they dont loose time on the water. fuel tank replacements things like that. there is like a two to three month off season for me, just before christmas til around now depending on when the nicer weather starts. in the winter ill do some work on cars for some spare cash

I still haven't gotten this rayon thing down. Rewicked with it maybe 5 or 6 times. First few hits are good, and then not. Tried using a little, tried using a lot, haven't had success with Lemo. Kayfun or Russian.

the fishermen around here ae the hardcore ones, like myself, we are out on the water every chance we get, then there is the rich yuppie, i only bought a boat to show off to my friends that i can waste money, that never leave the dock and just sit at the marina drinking, and if the do leave the dock, they have no fucking clue what they are doing, and fuck shit up. they are a danger to the rest of us
