Here you go Plasi. mspart

Well, then he is thinking next year will be his year!! Good for him, and best of luck to him. I don't think it ever matters the when, there are always hammers out there ready to pound on you. You just have to be the bigger hammer. mspart

I am no Guru on smoking meat, let's get that out of the way first. I will fill the wood box with apple wood chips. I will then line the water tray with foil and fill with water. Then I will place thawed pork butts on the racks of the smoker. Then I will turn on the propane and get the temp up to 225-230F. It will usually stay there and this slowly cooks the meat but is enough to get the chips started smoking. This time I will get the meat to about 150F internal and then wrap in foil. This reduces the crust on the pork as I understand it. New process for me. I did not do this on the previous pork butts I smoked but the crust was fairly thick. My wife and I both like the edges pretty crisp so I think we will do this. Cook until 205 internal temp and remove, and let sit for an hour. Pretty simple. We will give the pork a rub before cooking. Also, at the 150 mark, you can wrap and pull out the pork and put in an oven to finish the cooking. By then the chips have smoked their all and have no more to give. But the internal of the smoker is pretty smoky too so I will probably leave it in the smoker until done. I'm no cook and don't put a lot of thought into how to make this better like "Gee I should cut up apples and add to the top" or other enhancements. This works and I am very happy with my previous results. I looked up this method on the interwebs and the google. mspart

We had homeless folks in Seattle throwing things off of bridges and damaging cars. It was not good. Those with damaged cars were lucky it was not worse. mspart

Well, that was very nice of them. I will be smoking a pork butt this weekend, maybe two. mspart

Agreed. mspart

Ha ha!! OK, we can set a boundary. Coolidge died a few years before I was born. And I am speaking in terms of geological time!!!! mspart

Oh you're nothing but a baby!! Oops, just aged myself. mspart

I have a friend who has been around Mark Schultz and Rulon Gardner. He said they were both crazy a little. mspart

There must be an intensity to him that no one sees. mspart

At the end Munoz says John Smith would wrestle Eric Guerrero and looked bored while doing so after Eric had won a National championship. So apparently he rolled around with the guys. They are probably too much for him anymore. mspart

Yeah, I was just following up on if piece parts are available. Fortunately the voices in my head are only about smoking meats and not anything else. mspart

Well Senator Dole, that's a tough one. mspart

Absolutely. But what if the what ifs didn't get put into a what if thread. mspart

I just found a website that sells the parts for my smoker. Perhaps they sell parts for yours too. The water tray and wood box are available for my smoker. https://www.appliancefactoryparts.com/ mspart

Thanks for the link! mspart

How old are you? Did you like Ike when liking Ike was a thing? It was apparently a too subtle request for you to age yourself. I can say, I wasn't around when Ike was President or running for President. I'm not saying anymore than that!! mspart

The question is Did you like Ike? mspart

I had mojo? I never knew!! mspart

And not just with the military. That is why the Constitution was written the way it was. The Founders knew what people would do given the opportunity. mspart

Perhaps, but it makes my point that all of those folks could probably make it to the Olympics if they were to wrestle for Mexico. staying with the US is most likely not their best option, including Zahid. He couldn't make 86, and wouldn't have mde 92 with Cox there. He will not be able to go to 97 and beat Snyder so he is kind of out of options. Unless he improves greatly. mspart

Let's all remember that Joe is a stutterer. Obviously we heard wrong. mspart

Of these, none have a chance at the Olympic team as it stands now. All would be well advised to go and get on another team if possible for them. Even Zahid at 92, if he had faced Cox, would be #2. Except Cox was injured and went to 97, but even for this year, anyone not named Cox didn't have a shot at 92 if Cox was there. This lineup next year for Mexico would be a major coup for the Mexican team and would immediately raise Mexico's wrestling profile. mspart

I haven't worn mine out yet but the chip box and the water tray are showing signs of wear. I might need to get new ones soon. Hopefully they can be purchased separately. mspart
