food Smoke Somethin

Made some tacos out of leftovers, had the chipotle flavor to them from the smoke. I might try this other butt with cumin and chili powder for the rub.

Yeah. The twin bedsheet was already in her intestines. I would have paid for the surgery but it also gave her bloat, and they said she probably wouldn't make it through the surgery. My dog I had for 11 years died Christmas eve, my friend breeds them so I grabbed this older dog from him so I didn't have to deal with a puppy. She was super good with the kids. I knew better than to leave the sheet out there. But she hadn't really chewed anything, and I didn't have any straw. Should have just stuffed some leaves in the doghouse. We were only gone for a little over 2 hours.

Widdled some handles for the cold smoker build today. Need to get some bolts and nuts and drill some holes in them. I think they will look pretty good, esp with some poly on them or something.

Cut them out of a piece of live edge red cedar I've had for a while.
 
That sucks about your pooch [emoji24]. Those handles look good [emoji106]
I had to have a dog put down a couple of years ago. Nothing fun about that [emoji24]. Luckily the vet was compassionate about it and it was quick, but it still effing sucked [emoji24]: tears : feel your pain, man

I somehow measured only once on the big handle. Had to go buy some wood filler... SMH
I guess its still pretty cool. I just wish I would have paid more attention. I didnt get the holes very straight on the small handle, but it looks good if you look at it straight on lol. Bout to try to get it finished up this morning and I will post more pics.
 
Went ahead and tossed a piece of Colby Jack in there after it ran for a half hour or so. The smoke isn't very thin or blue, I read about people wetting the pellets to turn them to a chunky sawdust, then drying them in the oven and getting better smoke. I also either need a heat source to get the cabinet over ambient temps to get the draft to start, or a smokestack maybe, possibly a fan on either the intake or exhaust to pull/push the smoke through. Definitely have more tinkering to do.

Fish bubbler air pump at the exhaust stack to create a low pressure draw might work or even an external fan at the exhaust like you said for a pull.

Most fishing stores have watertight sealed battery operated air pumps for boat live wells. Pretty cheap too. When I had cichlids, I kept one as a backup if the power failed.
