    Lost My Hunting Buddy This Morning

    If you own or have owned a dog, tough times will happen like they did for me this morning. Made the tough, but right, decision to put my 14+ year black lab down this morning. Picked up Molli when she was 7 weeks old and was a great companion for everyone in the family and was awesome in the...

    SmokeHouse problem

    SmokeHouse problem

Where our big house has a nice clean flame,(solid blue) maybe two or three inches high, the new house has a bigger orange and yellow flame, maybe a foot high. If I...
