People acting all aghast because someone dusted their crawfish just makes them look like fanatical queers.

Sounds like something a real fanatical queer would say. Just saying.

You mean the one where leading up to it you're supposed to suffer like Jesus did by eating boiled crawfish and seafood platters on Fridays :rolleyes:

I use it when wrapping. I cover the paper and the brisket will tallow. I find it mellows out the bark.

why someone would willfully do that is beyond me.

Pure evil walks amongst us. It hides in plain sight. It tests us constantly. Always pushing the boundaries to see how much we'll take before we say or do something.

A truly progressive society would prune these monsters from the tree as soon as they're identified.

He wasn't and he didn't.

Wooo shite that's tight! You weren't kidding.

I just upgraded to this. I can't wait to try it out.

I bought the 120 qt pot and tried it out this weekend. It's hard to imagine fitting two sacks of crawfish and fixings in this thing. I did one 35lb sack plus fixings and that was almost 2/3 full. It would be close. I almost boiled over twice.

I'd love to try two sacks at once but I'm not that confident in my skill set. Maybe I'll do the fixings alone, pull them when the potatoes are done and put the crawfish in.

Fwiw-- they ain't kidding about this pot's boiling power. It was about 8 minutes to a rolling boil at 20 psi. Return boil was a little over a minute. Literally had to bring the psi down to 5 and nearly cut off the propane at the bottle to keep from boiling over.

Pretty much the same setup I bought last year minus the big foot.

I bought one last year for a crib I was building. Take you some time to get used to it. First day I used I had to sit it down and walk away from it. Was having a hell of a time getting it to cut straight. It was all user error of course. Came back the next day and practiced a lot on scrap material and started making better mortises.

As far as using it for alignment, I'm not sure this is going to live up to your expectations. The dominos fit tighter than a crab's arse. You will literally have to lightly drive them in. There's a setting that allows for some slack by cutting a bigger hole but I found it allows for a little too much slack to accurately provide for perfect alignment. I usually end up just sanding off the grooves on the dominos.

Overall, I find its a great tool for cheating at creating mortise and tenon joints. And the joints ARE strong as shite. It's expensive for what it does but I value my time so it was worth it to me.

ETA-The only other add-on I considered getting was one of those 3-D printed depth gauges to replace the metric one that it comes with. In the end I just decided to do the calculations to convert my dimensions as close to SAE as possible. And to also be mindful of what side of the lumber I was cutting into.
