Not to interrupt this fin impeachment of ... whatever, but ...
K - I have had a brain phart. Make an upper pipe extension for that fine rocket stove you built, and a lower fuel box extension for the fire.
Rig up a metal trash can with racks, and a hole in the side.
When the power goes out, use the rocket stove for a heat source, flip the trash can over it, and smoke everything thawing in the freezer.
This has been bugging me, because we have half a cow in the freezer - hate to lose it.
Meanwhile, my neighbors continue to stock food & fuel, while I stock guns & ammo - when do think I should tell them that we will share?
(Has everyone lost their sense of humor?)
I have a generator and save my food in the freezers though.
Well, telling people that they will share is a whole different kettle of fish than having neighbors that you have previously worked out arrangements with.
One I'm fine with. One I'm not.
And if you try to use a rocket stove to smoke meat, you are going to cook it. And it will spoil. If you are serious about smoking meat, I have years of experience at it, and am a culinary school graduate (I won't poison you). I'd be glad to pass along some tips.
Guns and ammo only go so far. Real world skills that you have practiced are much more valuable than threats and trying to wing it.
