Bout quarter dawn right now.

Sawn… Not dawn… Stupid phone..

Slabs will almost always have stress. The most stable boards will be the ones with vertical grain”quarter dawn” Slabs run the gamut of the log and usually have to be “leveled” and sealed up good after dry.

Yup, and mashed taters and jalapeno corn.. It never changes. Same request every year.

Chicken fried steaks up! Hannah requests it every year for her birthday dinner,

With me, it’s all about the yield of usable product. If a 1200 pound steer can hang at 800, that would be a huge win. The guys at the feed yards have upped their target weights to send to the meat packers. Last I heard they were sending 1500-1600 pound steers. Instead of 1250-1400.. more usable...

^^This^^

I got a wagyu KC strip once just to try it. It was good, but a little bit of a let down from my expectations. I still prefer a good crossbred steer on feed for an ample amount of time. The very best steer I’ve fed out to date was over 20 months old and almost 1600 lbs. how big do the akaushi...

No, those came ready to go. My hand made ones are about twice that size.

Still love this thing.

I been running the attic fan between 5:30 and 6:30 on these cool mornings. Bout 7:00 AM we button things back up.

Gotta fold that intake boot in on itself then wiggle the *s-word out of it.. That cover seals into its base and is most likely just stuck.. It’s probably never been off.

It’ll never need another chain. I only used it once, ran the fuel out and it sits next to the David Bradley.

The one I got from you? Yup, still out there.

Oh, and this thing is the breakfast cooking machine to have. And you can do it out in the shop during the heat waves. Pic seems to be upright..
