Most of you know me from my other channel ru-vid.com . However outside of my day job I have many other hobbies and interest. This channel is just a brief glimpse into what we do outside of the shop. -Enjoy!
video watched, check. pit barrel cooker arrived, check. chicken prepped, hung and cooking... check. Very much hoping my first chicken turns out like your first chicken... wish me luck! oh, and I'm not far north of you in Ontario, Canada. 1 chicken here is 10-15$. a bag of charcoal (kingford brickets) is about 20$, the cheap chuck noname charcoal is about 10$. I wouldn't call it cheap, but (assuming it works) it certainly is cheaper than McDonalds, and way healthier and tasty. Oh and the PBC is close to $500 here.... that was my biggest hurdle, until I saw your chicken, thighs, and ribs...
I have a 2000 kodiak. I had to pay $3000 for it last year, but I live in hunting country, so. It shifts hard too but it's an automatic so I have not been able to finger it out yet.
Just waiting for my pit barrel to ship! checking out all the recipes and comments. In the wee hours when you get up for a snack, do all those eyes on your wall feel... judgemental? J/K Also, most Pit Barrels sold are the 18" model that do not have a lower rack (I think). so yes the comment (@S_A_N22) below is a good one about raising up the coal bed on blocks. I also watched a video about reverse searing steaks. 20-30 in the cooker as normal, then either slap em on a hot BBQ or stoke up the Pit Barrel to "NUKULAR" for a final sear. standard grocery store steaks may not hold up to that though. The fun is in the experiments! and of course the chewing.
Having worked for Yamaha Motor Sports for years. It's common to bend that shifter rod adjuster..But the worst are the CVT belt drives.. They are shit..
After watching your videos I am of the opinion you should be teaching. a course in logic! Mechanics, math, electricity, electronics are all episodes you have taught. This video was a perfect example of logical thought. At the end you said"keep it simple". Not the first time, but... Your detective-type deduction of problem-solving is just such a teachable 15 min class. Impressive. entertaining, educational, Nice Job.
I thought you stated you turned it counter clockwise and then 1/8 clockwise which it appeared. Thats incorrect it clockwise til resistance and then 1/8 turn back.
Have watched you for a while on South Main Auto- awesome content! But now an after hours showing me how to service the same mower deck on the same tractor that I have?!?! Much appreciated! God bless you and all the O’s!
Here in Sweden it's rare with gasoline engine pressure washers. Almost everyone uses electric pressure washers, since you normally have access to an outlet when pressure washing. In America it seems almost everyone uses gasoline engine washers. Why is that? Is it because of the 120V vs 230V thing or?
Love the new bbq videos. I too live for smokin' and grillin' and found the perfect work around. I now use a char/griller offset barrel smoker exclusively. It smokes low & slow and can also grill at molten lava temps if that's the goal. Highly recommended..
Did you know that there is a can of anti-freeze that they make that you can spray into the water inlet of the pump to prevent it from freezing? I think Briggs and Stratton makes it.
Nice fix! Your FIL has some really nice equipment there-looks like needs some just minor everyday maintenance, however. BTW--did Mrs O> Just come out w/ my favorite beer (Bud Light Lime) in her hand?? HUG that ladY for me!! I used to work on my FIL's stuff back when he was living--he could tear stuff up, but after seeing one of his attempted rapairs, and another friend 'fixed ' the wires--I told him-just put gas/oil in it and I'll do the rest.
Eric O i just found your cooking videos on here. I am now a subscriber to this channel also. I do wish with the subscription I could also get smell o vision.! Please keep the videos coming. And keep up the good work.
All the fancy dishes (salad looks yummy, the chicken look delicious) you did a fantastic job Eric! Thanks Mrs “O” for making the salad. Also in California southern or northern no salted potatoes 🥔. This is the first time I heard of this.
