    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Couple of left over steaks from tonight, maybe the kids will find them after hunger pushes them away from their PlayStation. Most of a bag of charcoal then lots of oak pieces until the grates glowed red. 3 minutes then 2 minutes then sit for 5 while the sweet potatoes finish. I like my...

    Krill 39% Ultimate 300KS Assembly And Paint

    I had a nib 3W-110 and sold it. :mad::( Problem is my 106 keeps running year after year after year and I couldn't justify swapping them out. I would recommend a larger prop due to 3W's torque/compression vs DA/DLE. I believe 3W's need 20 gallons of fuel to get broken in properly.

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Wife has a small gas grill for quick burgers and brats, I use a charcoal/wood grill for better flavor (burgers, fish, steaks) and my smoker of course for ribs/brisket. I use an entire bag of charcoal for steaks, I want it HOT! The Traegers and the eggs are the most versatile though if you only...

    The 'What did you do in your workshop tonight?' thread

    Someone else built it but it works well. A good vertical smoker is $3500 +/-, I found this one on Craigslist a few years ago for $500 and jumped on it. Wood smokers require a lot of monitoring but that's half the fun. I'll get some meat photos posted.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    I'm just over 1 year, guessing 3 years at least to complete. Finishing takes as much time as building, plus add a cockpit............. Then I want something really detailed to build.

    Scale Nelitz 1/3 scale Cub build

    Took most of a week off to go watch spring training baseball, now to get my head back into a building mood. Squared the top tubes to the firewall and soldered the cuts that I made before I left town. A little bit of wood burning but not much.
