Happy Father’s Day

Hey Folk’s.  I’m taking the day off today.  We are still kinda cleaning up after all the storms and bracing for the next round this afternoon. 

If your looking for a great BBQ recipe, head on over to the Video section and pull up a how-to video…… I bet you’ll find something good !

All of us here at The BigIron wish all of you BBQ king’s a great and Happy Father’s day.

 

BigIron Smokes a target with his new 9mm

Ok! I know this aint barbecue doing’s but I had to share with you folks. 

I am a big second amendment guy and believe it’s better to be judged by 12 then carried by 6 if the situation warrants.

I got my new 9mm and shot it for the first time today. 

The second hole at the top right is actually 2 shots in the same place.   Not too shabby in my opinon. 

Remember, training and practice make all the difference.

Here are some shots from the field taken with my shooting buddies blackberry.

Used car hunting ain’t doing barbecue

Man what a day on Saturday.  Now I know you folks are used to seeing some great food, but the little woman needs to get another car.  You know the rest.

Kansas City has construction over the entire area.  Let’s say at least a 100 mile radius. 

Did she find a car? NO! 

Does she know the one she wants?  YES!

Although I must say when we finally got home, I felt like I had spent a day at the smoker.  I was hot, sweaty and fuming from the aggravation of being stuck in traffic.

Folk’s sometime ask why I spend so much time at home cooking food….I was reminded this weekend.

Have a great afternoon.

Time for a Jim Beam Iced Tea,

Happy Memorial Day - A warning to help you keep safe…

Happy Memorial Day everybody……Yes I did some BBQ but this seemed more important….

Anhydrous ammonia and propane cylinders

I wanted to let you all know about one thing that I was not aware of.  

Meth cooks are getting the propane tanks from the exchanges at Wal-Mart, Kroger, etc. and emptying them of the propane. 

Then, they are filling them with anhydrous ammonia (which they now have a recipe for by the way).  After they are finished with them, they return them to the store.  They are then refilled with propane and sent back for you and me to buy. 

Anhydrous ammonia is very corrosive and weakens the structure of the tank.  It can be very dangerous when mixed with propane and hooked up to our grills, etc.

You should inspect the propane tank for any blue or greenish residue around the valve areas. 

                  

If it is present, refuse to purchase that one.

I hope you all have a happy and SAFE Memorial Day.
