    Same thing happened to me a few weeks ago when I ordered an Under Armour Ridge Reaper jacket from their website.

     

    Then I go to the retail location in Glendale to look for some rain gear. Grabbed a Cabela's brand 4 Most Rain Suede jacket clearly marked to $69 from $139. Cashier had to call a manager over. Manager came over said he wouldn't honor it and then implied that I switched out the tags to a lower price. That place has gone downhill bad.

     

    Seems like it's much easier to buy stuff from CWT than any retail shop now days. Better quality stuff here and I don't have to deal with idiots.

    If the government is shut down who is going to stop you from hopping the gate? Is an unemployed government worker going to give you a citation? It would be an interesting argument in court, "Your Honor, this citation was issued by an unemployed individual and therefore can not possibly be valid".

     

    Agreed. But it might be kind of tough getting my Champion around this dumpster....

     

    However, I think you can launch at the marina at Canyon and Bartlett. I believe those ramps are private. They'll probably have a fee to launch, maybe $20?

    I can tell ya who not to use, don't use Rymax Auto Glass. I have used them twice. First time wasn't bad. OEM glass, on time and good work (no leaks, noise, etc).

     

    Second time around was last week. Guy showed up 90 minutes late because he said he had to go to a Toyota dealer across town to get the windshield. He ended up installing aftermarket glass when I was told I would be getting OEM, took wayyyy too long and put a nice size gouge in my truck when he was prying the old windshield out. Then didn't own up to it and tried to say it was there before he worked on the truck, bad service big time.

    Food saver Big Game.

     

    Better vacuum and has the option for 12V power. Totally satisfied with it so far. Vacuumed sealed a week's worth of stripers at Powell, 3 javelina, most of an elk, tons of store bought chicken, pork shoulders, briskets, and I sous vide dinners usually 3 nights a week. Check Amazon from time to time. They put it on sale for $125 back in the summer and I also grabbed the 3 yr warranty for $9 extra. https://goo.gl/QZKYwG

     

    I had the cheap Food saver from Costco and it lasted for years. It ended up crapping out last year. Went back to Costco and grabbed this one and it was terrible. Ended up having to take it back after 2 striper trips to Pleasant. Don't get it. https://goo.gl/poaJnf

    Yes, it is weighed and mass processed, then split up to cut sheet. High volume processing.

    yeah thats what i was told

     

     

    Yowzers. I had my cow elk processed here in October. Dropped off at the trailer in Clint's Well, then picked up a few weeks later at the QC location. The tip steaks I used for a recent batch of pozole were a bit tough....but no major issues with the product, however, if this is the case....I may need to find something new going forward. Has anyone else had this experience?

     

    That being said, I had my javelina processed at Von Hanson's last year into bratwurst. Turned out decent and would probably use again. However, I did not run into the tatted girl who runs the pick up/drop off.

    22.5" Weber Smokey Mountain for me. Holds a ton of food. Most I've had on at once was 4 racks of ribs and 2 pork shoulders. Never had to baby it as long as you set the vents right and have enough coal. One bag of Kingsford blue bag started at 11 PM, put a packer brisket on, go to bed. Wake up at 6 AM and it's still reading 225* - 240* until the brisket reads 203*. Usually a 12+ hour smoke. Plus has a huge water pan to keep temps regulated and moisture contained. Did a 18# turkey and 9 turkey legs last Thursday, still had room for more.

     

    However, the pellet grills look good too. I think Camp Chef now makes one. Might be something to look at. And I definitely do agree with the Maverick thermometers. They are great. Just don't get the probes over 500*. They'll short out.

    I'm going to do one elk and one pork for Christmas when I'll have a full house. I'm going to do a practice run for thanksgiving since nobody likes turkey. If it turns out good I'll post up a recipe.

     

    Please do. I was thinking about doing one with some elk backstrap soon. After rubbing on the mushroom/garlic/onion paste onto the backstrap, then wrap the whole thing with prosciutto. That will help keep moisture in the meat and not soaking into the puff pastry. After wrapping everything in the puff pastry, put in the fridge to cool down the meat prior to putting in the oven. Timing is crucial to not over cook the meat, while ensuring the pastry browns properly.

    The pizzaque. You guys need to try it. Gets up to about 800 degrees and kicks out pizzas in about 5 mins.

     

    You can make crusts, use Boboli, or the lavash bread from trader Joe's.

     

    Looks pretty good. I see they make one for kettles. Might be a good addition for the WSM.

     

    As far as camp grills, it's either a small one from HD that runs on 1# propane. Or bring a cast iron grill plate from home and use over a small fire.
