OnionEater

Happy Birthday Ron

Have a good one Paw

My condolences to Pat's family.

A few years ago I sent Pat an e-mail and I was surprised that he called me that night and we talked for over an hour. He was an easy man to talk to.

They should hang him by his OO

Still looking.

Dec. 17, 1976

Rev. Jimmy Doop with Mr. and Mrs. Onion Eater. Jim married us.

Jim surely was one of a kind. He will be missed.

Had some good times when he was Limb Leader in Maine back in 1976.

Rocky

Is it true? You are back?

RumRunner

I am going to heat the unit up today just to try to maintain temperature. Only 5 pieces of charcoal?? Doesn't seem possible to supply enough heat but I will start with it and add through the day. How often do you add wood chips?

Sushi

Thanks, I looked it up on their site. My wife paid $30.00 for it, very clean, only used once. Original cost was $600.00. Pretty good deal.

RumRunner - Thanks for the info. Do I have to start drinking again????

Shell - No info on the unit and I can't seem to find the company on the net, all I find is dealers.

LG - All I needed was the "Bandera" model, THANKS. Turns out there is a YAHOO discussion site just for that model. That picture is the one I have.

My wife went to a lawn sale and came home with a "New Braunfels" smoker but it didn't have any directions with it. This is a heavy duty smoker that is made with 1/8" plate steel not sheet metal. The smoke box measures 16" wide X 17" deep and is upright 36" high with 14 grate levels. The firebox is 16" wide X 20" long and 12" deep. It's weight is well over 200#. I couldn't find a picture of it on the net.

My problem is I have never used one of these and all the information I find on the net is to vague and conflicting.

I need step by step directions on how to use this beast. Can anyone give me directions on how to smoke a turkey with it?

Chef

If I go it will be late in the afternoon, I have an appointment earlier in the day.

Oooh, I'm glad this thread came up again - it's been nutty here and I almost forgot about this one...

Weather permitting we will be there. If it's really cold or rainy, I can't come because the kids would just be miserable.

Wanna meet at the GAZEBO* around 5PM?

I'll have a baby in a backpack on my shoulders, and another rug rat in tow...

From the fair's website:

=====================================

*Gazebo

New in 1998, the Gazebo" is located on the West end of the racetrack facing the Green Gate. You'll find barbershop quartets, stiltwalkers, bluegrass bands, the BJ Hickman Magic Show, and even a German marching band waiting to greet fair goers as they enter from the parking lot.

I will try to be there, but don't wait too long for me.

Rocky and Ryebread are the ones I miss the most.

I missed the fair this year. My wife got sick on Friday and I spent the day in the hospital with her. She is better now but still under the weather. Hopefully I will make it to the Fryburg Fair on the 3rd.

Dang OE...can't go this year....I have a high school reunion down in New York...and it's my mom's 89th birthday....

I AM MAJORLY BUMMED OUT... :(

I thought of going up Thursday night then hanging half the day Friday, but, I don't think I can swing all that driving....

I'll be thinking about you....

Love, Wacky... xoxoxoxo

I will miss you this year. See you next year.

did you know s&m kyle will be in town soon? i don't know when

Yea, there will be a gathering at Dan's house on Sunday. I won't be there, not interested.

Chef

Mrs. probably won't be there. I have difficulty walking and it is a long ride for just a short stay for her. I don't mind, at least I get out a little. About 1 - 2 hours is all I can take, with a number of sit downs for french fries and onion rings.
