Don't you dare or !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I told Mrs skreef that when the food runs out the cats will be the first to go. I'm saving my very best white soy sauce for such an occasion. Chinese food at the Reef's.

If you're into geocaching I'm sure you'll like this.

I had an old travel bug I used when I was geocaching on my motorcycle. I sold the motorcycle for a down payment on the travel trailer so I thought it was appropriate to turn that bug into a Travel Trailer Bug. I have this on both pass through doors and on the back above the spare tire.

Feel free to discover this bug just let me know what forum you saw this on. If you ever see it out in the wild please discover it again and stop by to say hello.

Hopefully someone can help me out. I have a very small project that I think a piece of composite Decking (like Timbertech) would work. I have a few questions. 

Can you cut it with a normal skill saw/miter saw or do you need a special blade? 

Can you screw into it? 

If you screw something down onto it will it hold the screw like normal wood? 

Do you need pilot holes? 

Do you need special screws?

I plan to go shopping tomorrow. Will be curious to see what the shelves look like, as it's been a week since my last shopping trip? 

Good luck with that. Your best bet is to ride out in the country. Those little stores out in the middle of nowhere are still stocked. I guess they haven't herd the news about a new virus going around.

This is crazy, now the knuckle heads have cleaned out the canned foods and pasta off the grocery shelves.
My mate has a cleaning wholesale business. Said he shifted over 500 pellets of TP last week and he’s not running out.
It’s being nicked from schools and public places!

I skipped most of the canned veggies but I did stock up on frozen veggies. If they cut the power state wide we're all screwed.

Interestingly, there’s a run on chicken here. Can’t find chicken anywhere. Lots of beef and pork. At least folks will be eating healthy through the apocalypse. 

They didn't do a run on chicken around my neck of the woods, plenty to be had. Bought me a huge pack of leg quarters. Still have a bunch of thighs and wings in the freezer.

Its good to see someone else that’s shops at “The Pig”. 

Ours is a really small, po dunk Piggly Wiggly - but - they defiantly have the cheapest, best, all natural twin packs of pork butts. That twin pack cost $27 and both were decent sized butts.

People are getting pretty creative now that toilet paper is in high demand 

Great idea except when you need to wash your hair. Haven't done the head in the toilet  in a long time and the last time I was really drunk and don't remember praying to the porcelain God. But they said I did.........

We still do here. Thanks for the tip, just in case I run out of TP - LOL!!

You'll probably end up with a black ink smear but that's better than a brown smear - LOL

Yah, howz that work. Guess you'll have to raid the leaf pile.

Nope the corn husks - LOL 

I have enough toilet paper - we went to Walmart this afternoon and stocked up on some basic supplies. We could easily self quarantine for a month or three. Also stopped by the local Piggly Wiggly and got a cryo pac of 2 Boston Butts. In the end we swung by the liquor store and stocked up on alcohol. Just in case the world gets really crazy I'm not going to be without some medicine. 

I've also decided since we stocked up so good I'm not going back to Walmart or large grocery store until after May 1st. We'll let the Beer Virus run its course. 

With all this Beer Virus talk there has been a crazy run on Toilet paper in the middle Georgia region. In the eight closest Walmarts to my house there is not a single roll of toilet paper to be found and no hand sanitizers and when the toilet paper ran out they started going for the baby wipes. Food was plentiful. 

I guess having a clean rear end is a bit more important than stocking up on food ............. 

Some country style pork ribs on the 19" KK. 300* for 3 hours. About 1/2 way through the cook I started basting them with Sweet Baby Ray's - Sweet Golden Mustard BBQ sauce. 

I really like the time change. We usually eat sort of late and the time change allows me to get on grill pictures while it's still light out. 

That looks totally awesome - sign me up

Good post Aussie - TY. Mine looked more like what was posted in the first picture. Anyway they're good.

Of course!  The ultimate grill accessory.  Congratulations.  

Not sure I could ever top this grill accessory but I'm always willing to try sometime in the future.

Very nice rig @ckreef   Really Like the twin lounge chairs in the bump out.   Pulling it with the pickup truck will be great for hauling more cool camping/grilling stuff'firewood/Solo fire pit, etc.   Sweet!!! 

I'm assuming you still have the Primo Jr with the carrier.........perfect for camping along with the Camp Chef!!!!

Our boat has a built in generator in it but I never use it.  We have a Yamaha 2000w portable inverter/generator that we use all the time instead (had a Honda before that but it went swimming).  Very portable, quiet and crazy fuel efficient.  Handles 95% of our power needs.  Portable is also great for power tool usage in remote areas. Being an inverter generator.....will handle all your electronics perfectly (also assuming there is a big TV across from the lounge chairs).  

The one addition we made to all our campers/boats was to add additional 12v battery capacity.  Mainly for the propane furnace at night when we didn't want to run the generator but it was great for all the other stuff also. 

Enjoy!!!!!!

 

We did get a soft cover for the pickup truck so nobody can see what's in there. Solo stove is already in the truck bed. 

Definitely still have the Oval Jr to take along on the longer trips. 

Tv and stereo directly across from the theater seats. Which are full recliners with massage and heat  they are more comfortable than any chair in the house - LOL 

It does have a nice stove but the oven is basically useless for anything but cookies or bisquits. That's okay they do make an artisan (pizza) oven for the Camp Chef. That's already on the need to buy list. 

Honda generator went for a swim? Or did you need to use it for an anchor? I'm sure an interesting story either way.

This is a question “what came first the grill or the camper?” Nice setup Charles next thing you know you’ll have a KK onboard somewhere lol

Don't know about taking along a KK. Would probably send me over my trucks tow limit - LOL

Nice rig Ckreef, you and the Mrs should enjoy that. Does it have an on board generator for all those appliances or are you carrying a portable? Not all sites have electric if you stop on a whim. Imagine that,,let the good times roll.

No generator yet but I've been looking. We haven't even taken it out for our first trip. That picture was in the back yard. We only brought it home 2-8-20. Another few weeks and we'll give it a maiden run.

Boy, buying such a reasonable grill really lead to over-doing it on the sleeping bag side of the equation, huh?

Very nice rig - gonna have great adventures with that one, for sure.

Congrats.

We're looking forward to the new adventures. Yes a reasonable grill but I think I choose wisely (both grill and trailer). I'm not scared of propane I can make any grill sing (with enough practice).

That looks so much more comfortable than the tent I used for camping. 

I've done my fair share of tent camping in the past. Those days are over - LOL 

I bought a few awesome Camp Chef Accessories. Definitely had to get the cover. 

Needed some leveling feet especially when using the griddle. 

A longer propane hose is always nice. 

And of course we needed a Travel Trailer to go along with the Camp Chef. I mean what's the purpose of owning a camping grill if you can't go camping

2020 Grand Design 2600rb. Just the right sized couples trailer for me and Mrs skreef.

@ckreef - can't wait to see what new toy you've acquired! 

 

If work cooperates I should be able to get a few pictures this weekend

Wonderfully prepared taking advantage of two KK's.  Is there a basket splitter in the 19 or 16?  Anyhow the shank as you have there is the lower portion of the leg below the shoulder, generally it has the bone in.

No basket splitter.  Grill Grates in the 16", heat deflector/drip pan in the 19". Two KK's is a minimum in my world.  with just me and Mrs skreef 2 smaller KK's is just fine. 

Unfortunately (or maybe fortunately) with my latest acquisition (will post soon) a 42" KK is now officially off the table.

Lamb shank steak?? Never heard of that. Is it the bottom of the rump?

That looks really delicious @ckreef.  I love pink lamb but would never have imagined that lamb shank could stand that treatment.  Like @Basher, I am interested how/where it was cut from on the animal.  

Not sure about the actual cut. I think they were labeled lamb Shank Steak but my memory could be fading - LOL. Strangely enough I get these at Walmart. They are sold in 2's in a cryopac. I've gotten them a few times and they aren't bad. Next time I get some I'll post a picture of the pac.
