Man, that is one BIG pig. The only time I have seen anything near that big was at the state fair. Just curious though was it a boar or a sow. I have heard that boars if they aren't castrated have a real strong flavor to the meat. I don't know if that is true or not.

Uh, Sauce, maybe the resolution on the pic you are looking at is better than mine, but it's not THAT clear that we're looking at, um, testicles, to use the technical term [;)]! Of course, I'm perfectly happy to take your word for it![:D]

 My cart project is almost complete. I am waiting on the Guru/Raptor scheduled for delivery this afternoon and once it is mounted, I will be through.

I bought the two metal cabinets at Sears on a Clearance Sale for $30.00 each. I purchased two 12 foot pieces of red oak 1x4 (approx. $50) and cut them to the length I wanted and glued them together using beech biscuits. After routing the edges using a 1/4 inch roundover bit I sanded and attached it to the top of the two cabinets. I rubbed a good coat of vaseline on the top to water proof it and make it safe in case it comes in contact with food. I then built a base with 4 rubber wheels and attached the cabinets to the base. I the attached a power strip to the back of the cabinets for easy access. I have a magnetic base lamp ordered that I will place on top of the Bradley Smoker. All together I have about $85 in this nice Smoker Cart.

<center>Here is a picture of the result, so far.

No way Smoke!

I didn't think I was going to get this one finished. The Guru/Raptor came in this afternoon and I will install it tomorrow. That will complete this project. Now I need to finish some of the other stuff I started but haven't finished. [:D]

I have a question!

When using the Guru/Raptor combination what happens to the smoke generator when you are approaching the pit temp. If it reduces the current going to the Bradley wouldn't this mess things up as far as burning the bisquetts and the timing of your smoke period? Should the smoke generator bypass the raptor so the current stays constant?

I just finished installing the Competitor and the Raptor. Looks good and I am running a test now using the sweet potato method the Guru recommends but I am puzzled about the above question.
