He seems to not understand what a pellet grill does. You set it and forget it. Mow your lawn, wash the car, take a boat ride. Maybe check it a couple of times over 6-8 or more hours. When it's done, pull the meat and enjoy. harry probably thinks boiling meat is the best way to make it tender. |

I guess I’ll try something to see what doesn’t work.. I throw wood chips in my gas grille all the time. It works if you can keep them from just flaming up. On the metal plates, with low heat they do smoke tho. It may just be me but mesquite is not my favorite. I lean toward hickory most of the time but button wood is good for fish like mahi The foil packet with holes poked into it works great. No flame up, and you get smoke. Or splurge and buy a metal tray for the chips. |

The IP can't be beat for certain types of meals. It's a pressure cooker. Went out in the 50's. |

I found out if I have the burners on low like you do when you are cooking chicken or pork, the chips do OK on the metal plates over the burners. Soaking them in water helps but that water steams out pretty fast. |

Any little dust devil or summer squall devastates the place. It is like "not quite a storm Sandy" that trashed a couple of states. Ah, so you incorporated bond beams into your tiki bar and house, eh? The addition on the house has a load bearing beam that is far stronger than the basic bond beam. This is 2 #5s and 4 #7s http://gfretwell.com/electrical/addi...am%20steel.jpg Even the cap tie beam is more than what used to be called a bond beam. It is 16" of solid concrete with 4 #5s http://gfretwell.com/electrical/addi...am%20forms.jpg The Tiki Bars are post and beam construction with the posts notched and the beams bolted in with 1/2" galvanized hardware (4 per joint on the critical ones) The posts are 6"x16' salt treated pilings, 5 feet in the ground. A 40' mango tree landed on the old tiki bar during Charley and only dented the aluminum roof a little. The beam was unharmed. You also seem to miss a basic concept. A "Tiki bar" is supposed to emulate a 3d world island construction. It is not supposed to be fine cabinetry, hence the deck boards are different length etc. The newer one has Ipe decking, mahogany and Ipe trim and both have granite counter tops. I just built mine to the 150 MPH code. |
