Happy Birthday! You're 25 for the 2nd time right?

 

[jtbell]

Happy birthday! I won't press you as to which birthday, but I expect it's not like a former faculty member here who got a front-page story in the local newspaper last week for his 105th birthday.

Today should be smoker-day! Remember to burn it off initially, cure the innards with a good coating of vegetable oil (I highly recommend peanut oil for its high smoke-point and tendency not to go rancid with age!) and re-heat that smoker. You don't want your first smoke to taste like mineral oil.

In the meantime, you can get the Chile to pick up some smoke-worthy meat. Here, you could get farmed Atlantic salmon fillets or steaks pretty cheap, but you wouldn't be in Kansas anymore. You might have better luck getting an inexpensive pork roast or some turkey-parts out there in the hinterland. Either way, have fun and enjoy. Need posts on the food thread (with pix, too!).

A belated Happy Birthday, Evo!

Zz.

 

[Hobin]

Happy b'day Eevs!

 

[rhody]

It is not official even with Borek's picture and Evo's thanks until I see Evo type, "Yes it arrived on my birthday !" Then, I will believe the smoker really made it there, and in one piece.

Happy Birthday kiddo, glad it is a memorable one for you.

Rhody...

 

[Kholdstare]

Happy b'day Evo!

 

[Ryan_m_b]

Happy Birthday Evo! hope the smoker arrives before your next one...

Enjoy.

Happy Birthday, Evo, and many more happy ones, too!11111

 

[Evo]

Thank you everyone! The cakes, the kitties, the nice wishes.

I will announce as soon as it gets here.

 

[Borek]

Sadly, it is still in the hub.

 

[Evo]

Sadly, it is still in the hub.

WHAT! They left it in the warehouse?

 

[Borek]

Yes

From what it says on UPS site delivery is scheduled for tomorrow, but after it arrived to Lenexa on Saturday morning I thought it should make it to you today.

 

[Evo]

Yes

From what it says on UPS site delivery is scheduled for tomorrow, but after it arrived to Lenexa on Saturday morning I thought it should make it to you today.

I will extend my birthday through tomorrow.

 

[Dembadon]

Happy Birthday, Evo!

Happy Birthday, Evo!

It's supposed to be a secret that in real life, Evo is Wonder Woman.

 

[dlgoff]

Happy Birthday Evo.

Until it arrives...

Happy Birthday, Evo!

I want her lasso of truth! Lynda Carter kind of spoiled the whole comic-book thing for me.

 

[Evo]

Thanks dembadon!

Oooh, dl, you're killing me. I can just smell that.

Since my smoker isn't arriving today, I thought I'd post a couple of pictures to show what it is.

 

[micromass]

Happy birthday! Enjoy it!

 

[Math Is Hard]

Happy Birthday, Evo! In the UK we say "Many Happy Returns of the Day!", or at least I think we used to, but at [STRIKE]our[/STRIKE] my age it's hard to remember.

 

[Borek]

Be ready

 

[drizzle]

Be ready [PLAIN]http://www.bpp.com.pl/IMG/smile_Borek.png[/QUOTE]

I'm sure she is

 

[Astronuc]

Well - is it there yet?!

If not - we'll extend Evo's birthday through tomorrow.

 

[Evo]

Not here.

 

[rhody]

Not here.

Crap, this is not funny in the least, I hope and pray it makes it there safe and in working order Evo.

Rhody...

 

[Evo]

Well Borek said it is scheduled for tomorrow.

 

[ViewsofMars]

[Astronuc]

Well Borek said it is scheduled for tomorrow.

The birthday is extended.

Some good sax on this - and some good base and organ - and some good 'ol funk. Some good smokin' music!

Thanks dembadon!

Oooh, dl, you're killing me. I can just smell that.

Since my smoker isn't arriving today, I thought I'd post a couple of pictures to show what it is.

Wow! Such a BIG machine.

I think my smoker, which I think I've had for 10 years now and have never plugged in, could hold about half of a skinny chicken.

Put your smokin' present to good use young lady, lest the PF planet descend upon you, and show you how to ...

 

[turbo]

I love the second picture! If your smoker is big enough to hold two turkeys, I am jealous. My "locomotive" can do that, though I have never tried to pull it off, in part because my wife and I just can't strip and eat that much meat in a reasonable time. Back when I was in shape to have more people here on the back deck, we could have tried it. Of course, my old class-mate was running the Atlantic salmon hatchery back then, and if I had any smoking to do, it was salmon (in season). The hatchery had a consent-agreement with their customers that they would not sell any brood-stock, so they would give the culls away to friends and family. I got at least 100# one year, and smoked most of it. My father was driving down here delivering salmon for a couple of days. Good times.

Yeah, this is a decent size, more than enough room for anything I need.
