Title: A little secret! What do you like to do in your spare time?
Post by: Orange X on June 22, 2012, 08:52:12 PM: I am a food conasair. I have a smoker and a custom made Weber Grill. I love to cook and even more I love to eat.

Post by: Ghost65 on June 23, 2012, 02:20:06 PM: What a cool Thread!

But now I'm hungry!! :D

Definitely know who's cooking for the SCCX barbecue... ;)

Nice post Chad...thanks!

Post by: Paul on June 23, 2012, 03:01:45 PM: I too like to eat!

What kind of smoker do you have?

I have gas and charcoal grills and want to buy a Bradley 4-Rack Smoker but so far the boss (Noon) hasn't given me permission to put one more thing on the patio. I do barbecue sometimes on the gas grill but mostly we just grill.

SCCX has a rich grilling tradition going back many years. When BobbyB came out he would bring the most wonderful Mexican grill out with all the fixings. I ran much simpler with "meat-on-a-stick" cooking up a Santa Marina style tri-tip, shrimp, and Korean flap meat ka-bobs.

Title: Re: A little secret! What do you like to do in your spare time?
Post by: Orange X on June 24, 2012, 10:49:58 AM: I have the Bradley 4 rack digital smoker. My weber has a craycort cast iron grill on it that is probably the best thing I ever bought. I would have no problem cooking at the next BBQ. If we are camping for a few days I have a generator that I can run my smoker on along with a digital talking remote thermometer ;D and she sounds sexy in french too. ;D I did a 25 lb pig in the ground last thanksgiving that turned out insane. I will try to upload pics of that in a while. What hobbies do you guys have.. Let's keep this going..

Post by: Orange X on June 24, 2012, 12:34:41 PM: That's awesome John, This is why I started this thread. Just to find out a little more about everyone.. Is that a regular GPS that you use or are there ones set up just for geocashing? Great Pics by the way..

Post by: FrankB on June 29, 2012, 09:26:47 PM: Cool idea for a thread.

These days my spare time is mostly taken up with photography related things, but I do like to cook as well. Mostly I cook for just Heather and myself, so no pics of mass quantities of food. Also, I'm generally hungry when the food is ready, so I rarely remember to take photos.

Oven-roasted rack of lamb.
(http://frankbaiamonte.smugmug.com/Photography/Hosting-Only/FB015154/642851291_iGTLs-L.jpg)

I probably could have gotten the presentation better, but I remembered to take the photo only after I got the first bite of the lamb. Besides, I didn't want it to get cold.

Some tomatoes with fresh basil and olive oil.

Post by: Paul on July 04, 2012, 03:29:17 PM: I picked up a bike last week and started riding again.

(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/paul1960/Phantom%20X2/PhantomX2onRack.jpg)

I play with radios.

(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/paul1960/Amateur%20Radio/BenchJuly2009.jpg)

I shoot video and stills photos.

(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y215/paul1960/ThreeNikons.jpg)

I play video games.

For the last 14 months I've adopted a second family following the passing of my friend and their husband and father. We've bought a new house, put a patio in, bought furniture, binds, curtains and they've all cried on my shoulder. Running two households makes getting onto the trail more difficult to schedule. We still sneak out and do some trails solo and continue to dry camp.
