Was planning for supper, but it finished for lunch. Grabbed the first little bunch of green beans from the garden. Lots of meat leftovers too.
I'm likely finished for the day now. 90+ outside with 80+% humidity helps.

Gotta love smoker timing. "We're having pulled pork for supper. Or lunch. Or maybe breakfast tomorrow."

One butt and the brisket are off and resting. When the butt requires more than one utensil to get off of the grate, I know it's gonna be good. They're foiled and resting in the oven. I've warped a couple coolers lately using them to rest meat, so now I only use them to rest/transport if I'm riding dirty to a party.

Definitely have to better places than a cooler to rest your meat...

Sounds like the opening scene in a forthcoming movie by @Woodpecker

Good afternoon snobs,
I gathered enough courage to screw on the flywheel, hda199 and hoses and such, and am pretty much done with my mixed OE / NE adventure. I will probably port it sooner or later, boring without it.
With what I put in, crankcase, crank, NE cylinder set, muffler, oil pump, clutch & drum, AV's, xpg handle, starter housing, top cover, brake flag, it is not something I will sell, she will be number three in the row, definitely dead before I wear out the other two though.
I got most of it very cheaply from the dealer, and I bought the cylinder sets when everything was very cheap, so it wasn't completely disastrous

I will start bucking housewood this week, it has to be done a bit quickly, luckily the timber claw does the biggest burden, years since I last bent with bucking. With luck I will split without disfiguring my fingers.

Can't blame you not wanting to sell. I've seen a few builds and saws for sale that made me think unless the guy either inherited or stole the parts, they can't be making a profit.

I have bought one or two of those saws, so I shan't cast stones.

Have you tried put towels in the cooler? When I rest briskets in my cheap Coleman cooler I lay one towel on the bottom wrap my brisket in a towel then a towel on the top. With this set up and the cooler I use there is no room for anything else.

I do it to fill the space above the meat. I haven't put them below because I don't want them to turn into a smoky greasy meat sponge

Greasy meat sponge just might make a great band name.

I have yet to have that happen but I also use foil versus paper.

It happens to me almost every time, and I use the heavy Costco foil.

I like to diagnose, and build, like many others on the forum we get hung up on details, and then the money runs out quickly.
This is probably the most expensive chainsaw project I've done, but I ended up getting the result exactly how I wanted it.

But mostly, 346, 353, 357 and 359, have always been safe as projects financially. This was backwards since I had the top part and plastic and such but not the bottom part, probably won't do it again lol

Might throw in a disposable baking pan on top of a towel. You can push it into more of the cooler shape as well if need be.
