Nice! Looks like we have the same smoker. The last time I did a turkey in my Weber, I put it on the bottom rack, and cooked two pork butts on the top rack to cross baste.

I understand how a Helmholtz resonator exhaust can produce cancelling sound waves to make the exhaust quieter, but can it play any role in scavenging?

When I was a kid, one of my proudest moments was when I finally got strong enough to start my grandpa's John Deere Model A. I treat pull starts the same way. Turn the flywheel easy until it bumps up against some compression, then grab tight and give it hell.

Quite some time ago, on another site, I followed treemonkey's work. There were a lot of folks just guessing and grinding, but I watched several videos showing treemonkey dialing in specific saw models through extensive testing. That is the reason that I was excited to see this thread pop up. I...

Our university built a shop for faculty to use for building equipment, which included a large vertical mill and a large lathe. I just put together an order for basic mill tooling to get us started, and it was more than the price of the mill. Basic measuring and layout tools will be half that...
