Did you get a bucket with a hose that feeds the water tray ?
I have seen those in a few websites, you fill the bucket and it keeps the tray topped off so you do not have to open the door ?
I am excited to have it and will remember you have the book !!!

OK lets start wiff da basics there is a big difference tween BBQing and Grillin. Now for them steaks ( BTW I HIGHLY recommend Chuck Eye). Season to taste, I prefer a little Johnny's and a little Montreal Steak and let them set in the ice box fer a bit. Now heres the portant part. Preheat the grill then turn down low and place the steaks ON THE TOP rack. Cook however well ya like em. For me it is tan on the out and warm in the middle. Or as my grandpappy use to say blow its nose and wipe its nasty (other word for) butt.

Well I hate to burst yer bubble but I really doubt that you are getting TRUE wild fish at the store. It is not legal to keep anything that is not clipped. And why not go local and catch yer own. We have a lot of very nice fish to be had. And STEELHEAD are (IMO) far better than salmon and a lot more fun to catch too.

If you are from where I think you are I use to go through there as a boy fishing the Willipa River. I use to fish the big and Little Ox bow area.

The river thats starts up your way and ended up my way was the Chehalis River. I lived on the Scoomumchuck River In Centralia. I also fished the Toutle and the Cowlitz River for Steelhead. No better fish even better when they had sea lice on them. That ment they where fresh out of the Ocean.

I have a green egg grill to cook my steaks on. However, I think the prep and marinating is very importantant. I use to have a guy how would buy the cheapest steaks and marinate them for hours and they would be as tender as the expensive cuts. The little cuts from the Filet megnon are out of this world. I went to a Steak house and they where so cheap and the lady said they were trimings that made the Filet Mignon round. Cant remember the name of these little cuttings.

Do you guys ever smoke your fish, meat, smelt, sturegeon , Cornish game hens in a smoke house ?

I am going to build me one out of wood and start smoking fishs and chicken ect. Have not done it since I left home in the late 1960s. Smoked Steelhead was fantastic.

I'm interested in how your smoke house turns out. A smoke house is one of the things I want to build.

It floods on the Skookumchuck river every year, it is a flood plain, and the farmers run cattle out there in the summer, so in flood season the salmon can swim across the roads that have a few inches of water on them...should be able to find a photo..

I checked into it but decided not to get it since it came with more pads and another water tray which I didn't need and didn't want to pay for just to get the bucket.

It looks like a regular 5 gal bucket...and we have one with a spigot attached already.
I think it may have been a necessity in dry areas, but not needed here !!

How many times have you used yours now ?
And how was it running ?
Sensitive ?
Reliable ?
I can' t wait to use mine but have to make sure all parts work and still saving up eggs...

Thats whatthe lady I got the filly from told me this morning. The station was hit by lightening, and caught fire. I guess it took a couple hours to put it out...

Then it is not the same fire I know of. .

The fire that happened nearby us, I found out today, was someone's house. When the power went out, their fan to circulate their woodstove's smoke and heat cut out, and apparently their chimney went up in flames, then burnt down the whole house.

Ugg Chimney fires are bad. They burn HOT HOT HOT!!! That really sucks, I sure hope everyone got out ok...

Ummm.....not to be a know it all, but if you suscribe to this thread(click on suscribe at the bottom of page when you are posting, under options) you get an email when somone has posted. I get an email, then I can go directly to the thread, to that post then start from there. It makes life so much easier. Same if you are following any other thread, like if you have started a thread for a question or something.

We all know that (I think) and they are teasing me...and the point of posting as much as possible had to do with us all being gone to the show, and our thread would fall to page 2 or 3 (OH NO!!!) We post alot, so our WA thread stays on page one.
Wonder how much we would all need to post to get to #1 spot on page #1 ?

Good advice on marinating Bob...maybe come fishing sometime ?
Do you fish out there ?
