BIGNASTY,



Oh boy, let's have some fun now. Is is time for recepies or just a good laugh? I bet yer better 1/2 fixes some mighty fine vittles.



Wish I had a good pic to go with this one, but sorry ain't got it. Oh wait, this is humourously close, using the BOX from a Moultrie (used to feed deer here in SC, legal) feeder, I made a cardboard box oven this weekend and using only charcoal I baked this 20" pizza in a cast iron skillet. We all gotta be a bit krazy once in a while. W/O the food in it, it got up to 390 deg.

BIGNASTY,



I just can't believe you would do that! I bet you drive one of those terrible trucks that blows big clouds of black smoke too!! You're my kinda guy!

 

[GHarman]

BIGNASTY, I got a shirt just like the one in you have:-laf! Been complemented on it too! !

Gary, I made a wooden smoker that worked great, till I tried to smoke cook chicken. The grease fire burnt the whole thing plum out. I was able to save a few thighs after I peeled of the crispy critter part:-laf! GregH

I went to some folks home near Marksville Louisiana a few years ago and they were preparing for a wedding. They cooked a pig in a wooden box. Best I remember they had the wooden part of the box kinda buried and had a metal lid on it. They built a wood fire on top of the box, cooked for a long time. It turned out really good. They called the box a "coonass microwave". bg

BIGNASTY,

The Dodge is stock and it really doesnt smoke much. Now the Inter-trash-inal has a DT 466 that will chase the mosquitos away for a 1/4 mile or so :-laf

im only two hours away from friscomad could i borrow that shirt to drive downtown, take up several parking spots, and walk around. now thats a good day to me. **** off the hippy liberals.



on a side note you should have seen the faces and gestures i got when i took my straight pipe smokey cummins across the golden gate and into the sunset district with a 36ft 6 horse gooseneck trailer. i was heavy and for those of you who have never visited that god forsaken place the grades are pretty steep. just think about a heavy and long truck and trailer, im over width for those roads so im splitting lanes, im seriously modified, straight pipe with skeeter abatment abilities, standard trans, steep grades, and dead stop starts. i ****** off a few people, got a lot of "nice" gestures, and a few horns blown at me. it was one of the best days of my life. the best part was when i misjudged a right turn and was about to wipe out a car, i stopped in the intersection, turned about 65 70 degrees, i decide i need to back up and swing out farther, look in my mirror and there is a lady in a little eco car on my bumper, truck bumper not trailer. i look at her, stick my hand out, and start waving her back, without hesitation i slam her in gear and let the clucth out, im backing up whether shes there or not, she honks, i keep moving, i get another honk, the finger, and a scowl as she drives by me, i just started laughing uncontrolably.



same day i was manuvering down a narrow alley and a prius thought about passing me while i stationary. i pointed at him shook my head and gestured to stay right the ____ there, he looked a little scared and did as he was told.



i could go on for a long time about that same day but i will stop with that. one nice thing about living near that hole is when im mad and wanna let off some steam its really easy to hope over there and just be a complete donkey's rear and see them all get scared. if we have a civil war that will be the first city to fall.

 

[HHhuntitall]

Ugh. I got lots of those. I made a few trips to San Diego in my KW. God willing, never again!! I also rememeber a trip I made in my '85 Pete. They wouldn't let me in at the port of entry. At the advice of a much older and wiser truck driver, I went back up the road, ate breakfast, and when I came back, I wrote the truck down sloppily as a '95. No questions, they just looked and handed me my paperwork back and waved me through. I waved and whispered, "Aso" under my breath through a smile.



A long time ago, in a galaxy far away, I was single and in college. A friend and I went to his sisters in UCLA. I had a then almost new '96, with a tweaked pump and 4" exhaust, marine injectors, and hx40 turbo... ... It would smoke at an idle. . The cops kept pulling us over, but we never got a ticket. Three times I got asked,"IS THAT A DIESEL?" Gotta love blowing smoke completely through the windows of a Geo Metro at a stop sign... ... . with an evil grin... .



NASTY, I got one that says "Eat more fast food... . " and has a picture of a running whitetail buck on it. It's one of my favorites. Mikee has one that says,"Vegetarian... ... an old indian word for "Bad Hunter. "



Cooking with charcoal in a box?!?! Scary. Got nothin' better to do? Or no electricity? I've got a pit at my Foreman's out by the yard fence. It's brick lined, about 18 inches deep, and I cut a piece of expanded metal to go over it to cook on. It's pretty nice.

 

[BIGNASTY]

Did the box oven thing in Scouts and a few times in VN when we were able to procure some meat from the chow hall. Better than eating K rat's or C rat's the one's with the foil packed 4 smokes. Those should have been against the Geneva Convention as detrimental to all life form's Hell the chocolate pound cake about the size of a hockey puck. I opened it thru it at the monkeys as nasty as those creatures are even they wouldn't eat it they would smell it and try to cover it up with dirt. Should have known this was not going to be good. But live and learn I guess.

 

[Tractorat]

Dam BG, if you were eating K rats, you must be older than HBarlow.

 

[BIGNASTY]

I dont think it was called EATING is was something like CHOKEING them down. I really got disappointed when the Air Force gave us those to eat in the bush. I asked the commander how long is this to take place? His reply was that was field Rat's for the Air Force. I guess the cooks didnt know how to cook unless there were table's with table cloth's, The sad thing was that one day I was using that stupid little can opener to open a can of some kind of PUKE and it was made before I was even born !!! Being in the Air Force had it's advantages thou we could get them SMOKING HOT in no time. The Avionics Tech took the terrain following radar and hooked it up to an APU take your FLAC VEST cover your gonnies and stand behind the dish 10 seconds of that you couldnt touch the can for quite awhile.

 

[Tractorat]

I never had k rats. But I remember kind of liking c rats. Went without anything a few times. So the c rats were quite welcome. its been so many years ago now, I just dont remember too much about them other than I would exchange my cigarettes ( i dont smoke )for some kind of cookie or candy bar that came with them. I still have my John Wayne on my key chain. I used to keep it in my wallet, but it dug too many holes, and I got tired of buying a new wallet every 10 years or so.

 

[Bill Lins]

I ate lots of "C" rats- don't remember any of them not bein' at least 10 years older'n me! The smokes weren't too bad, except them non-filter Camels I got one time!

 

[Tractorat]

Yup,

I think the ones we got were the ones the army threw away years and years before that. I think the marine corps probably recycled them from a garbage dump. They werent too bad heated up. But less than tasty when cold (which was most of the time. 0

 

[GHarman]

tractorat, You remember them ham and "*************"? A 1/4 can of grease and the rest was questionable#@$%!! Made an outstanding anti personnel weapon when thrown like a football! LRRPS were tolerable and Korean Rations with a canteen cup of hot rice was to die for! Kim Che, rice and pork stew was like "fillet maggot" for a grunt! I'd fight for a C-ration pecan cake roll:-laf! GregH

 

[Tractorat]

Years ago, I went hunting with a guy who told me to just bring my rifle and a warm jacket. He would supply the food. (I thought he was also going to supply a camper or at least a tent)



His idea of hunting was to stuff your pockets with food, no sleeping bag, etc, just curl up next to a tree for the night.



He was in the reserves, and the food he brought was a couple of cans from some c rats he had "liberated". I, at least, brought some matches and was able to heat mine up (sort of).



Never went hunting with that guy again.

 

[HHhuntitall]

I don't blame you... . today's stuff ain't so bad. I don't care much for the chicken dinners, but the desserts and breakfast bars are darn good, and the beef stew is ok. And the little magnesium-iron heaters work well for heating them up. I don't like using them, but have. At times, I've used 'em, and while they were getting warm, I pulled the whole show into my bedroll to warm up. If any heat escaped, I wanted it captured in there with me!!! I worked for Buster Welch one fall, and a cold front came in one night, little rain and cold as hell. The next day we were told we could go home, but at the time, I had no where to go..... or wanted to go at least, so I stayed. Buster didn't provide any food, so I slept in the back of my truck and ate MRE's for two days... ... I lived but when I got my check on Friday, I went to town and bought me a teepee, a cot, and a bigass cooler to put grocieries in, and filled it!! I think Buster kinda took to me after that, and took me up to Rotan to his headquarters for a few days until the weather cleared and work cranked back up. He is a tightass old man!! But good hearted. Drives me nuts..... you'll just be driving along a bunch of cows, and he'll stop the herd and make you sit while he cuts about 30 cows out, then say, "Aw hell, let 'em back in, we'll cut 'em again when we get there. " Makes for a long day in the saddle... ... . not that I had anywhere to be... ... .

It starts with a humourous T shirt, some goodball adds a PIZZA, others pitch in with C&K rats, don't forget the mention of beer, somebody talks about smoking in a wooden box, what was he thinking! Wood is for burning/smoking and making barrels to age bourbon in. I shoulda had a beer in the box oven shot as a frame of reference, darn this is good stuff.



My last box oven survived since 1994 and I didn't invent this but I did add the panel concept for the foil wrapping, I give credit to an old Scouter showing it to us on a training camp.



Happy thursday TDR.

 

[HHhuntitall]

... . :blankstare:..... you have bourbon?
