So how many charge rings on the water bottle?

And whatever you do, do not drop the loaded one upside down, or you will suddenly find yourself alone on the firing line...

“Hey, where did every body go?”

(Distant voice.....) “Pick up the tube, and shake it!”

[humblegunner]

It’s an Oxy/Acetylene powered device.
Although it has been noted that sufficient volatile gas remains after discharge to produce an explosion if the ignition is left on.

We’re wary of that now.

[patton]

Prolly ought not to smoke on the firing line, you know. ;)

[Eaker]

Can’t, gunner gets it first for the compilation!

[Eaker]

Can’t have too many cannons.

Told ya so gunner!

Ohhhh, yeahhhh! The brisket turned out great. Internal temperature hit 190 degrees exactly 30 minutes before meal time. We took it off of the heat and let the juices circulate before slicing. Wrapping it up in tin-foil 2 hours before take-off seemed to work great. (Thanks for the advice eastforker.)

1/4 inch perfect smoke ring all around.

I need to do this more often.

Prolly right, but danged if I ain't been long under the weal
of range officers and DS's and we're in the woods so I'll SMOKE dammit!

[patton]

Go for it - I smoke like a chimney.

But not while sitting on Class-A explosives.

YMMV.

;)

[humblegunner]

Aw, it’s a gas rig fired by a plug that was disconnected.

No risks, no danger and besides the ambient temperature around here
is sufficient to ignite most gases anyway if it weren’t for the humidity!

“wary of that now”?

Just watched our display here from on top of the truck. It was nice

Non calor sed umor est qui nobis incommodat.
(It’s not the heat, it’s the humidity.)

[humblegunner]

The high humidity keeps our babes looking young.

Just axe Xena, she’s still HAWT and she is many hundreds of years old.

True story.

[patton]

Oh, man...you made a boo-boo. INCOMING!

[Allegra]

We got the artillery working.

That looks somewhat like some things I've seen here over the years...

[NYTexan]

Have ya seen taters incoming?

[Allegra]

Have ya seen taters incoming?

Not yet...but I can hardly wait. :)

What happens when one moves to the desert for a few years? :(
