Friends, it's Sunday night again and time to relax. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana.
*tonight's show will be available at the "Info" link starting tomorrow.
Hi all, an early ping today. Hope to be back home by show time.
Nice lineup to make up for a few weeks of mediocrity. Phil Harris should be great, Night Hawk is new to me...and a Lux!
How is everyone? Things are good here but it’s kind of dry out.

hey Gina, I’m on the way home. How was your week?
Hi, Vision. It was a hot, dry week here. Although there was rain in the area, it managed to miss us.
There’s not much news. Keith’s smoking a pork butt with the new plate setter. So far, so good.
Are you liking your scooter?
I bet that thing is keeping great temps.
Very good! A fun get-around. :-)
It does keep the temperature, once you figure out how to get it. A problem is how to get wood in for smoking. You can do it at the beginning, but Keith usually adds the wood later during cooking, and that’s hard, because you have to take it apart—take the meat and grill off—to add wood, and that messes up the temperature.
For what it's worth meat takes on most of it's smoke during the early part of the cook.
I guess after the early part, the outside is fairly sealed. But what we have is mesquite—no pecan right now, until we go cut some—so the smoke is quite strong and flavorful even partway through the cook. That’s probably why Keith sometimes waits until after the fire is going good before he adds it. We need to go cut some pecan.
Darn, I missed how cholera entered into the story. Will have to relisten.
Yeah, that’s good if there is no fresh available, but there is nothing better for smoking than fresh-cut wood. The wood chunks you can buy are usually old and dried out, and many people soak them in water. There’s no need to soak fresh wood in water, and it gives the best smoke flavor.
Hey, how are you?
I don’t want summer to go; we were cheated here.
Vision, I am in big trouble.
LOL!
The beast is off the grill!
Aside from the learning curve, I like the BGE.
Cool. I usually pull, toss, season with s/p or rub, and sauce.
