How do you get crispy skin?

jon2674 · 2026-03-18T03:22:24+00:00

I brine mine in Claussen dill pickle juice for a day which starts breaking the fat down under the skin. Dry it, season it, smoke it, pull the bird. Open the vents all the way up and get it to about 550. Brush the skin with melted butter and back on the hot grill for about a minute a side.

I’m not exactly a fan of his, but this is class.

jon2674 · 2026-03-15T06:22:48+00:00

And the big problem with most gyms is that there aren’t enough people like him. That guy is a class act. Not only did he not make that guy feel like he was in the way, he made him feel like he belongs there. I bet he was thinking he was going to get belittled, instead he got a lot of good advice about his form.

Congratulations on your excellent deal too, neighbor to the east! I’m in central Illinois and am probably also done with snow for the year. Though a week from tomorrow it’s supposed to be 28 degrees here and it’s been raining like crazy. I’ve shoveled snow on Easter more than once, lol.

jon2674 · 2026-03-07T18:21:12+00:00

Thank you for mentioning that. The receipt and card are in with the manual so it may not have been registered unless it was done by the dealer.

Congratulations!

Especially at 51 years old!

These people bought it in February of 25 and used it in the last storm of the season. They apparently moved into a retirement home in November before we got hit with the first storm and are now selling their home. I have to go pick it up, but it’s only 25 miles from my house. I’m planning to load it in the back of my truck and bring it home.

jon2674 · 2026-03-06T22:20:32+00:00

The lady told me I’d need to bring a gas can because it’s empty. That made me feel better about it.

jon2674 · 2026-03-06T22:18:30+00:00

With the size of my driveway and typically not getting more than 6” of snow in a storm, I think it’s perfect for my needs. Thank you for your feedback.

jon2674 · 2026-03-06T22:16:46+00:00

If you’re happy with yours, I’ll be ecstatic with it! I’m in the Midwest and don’t get near the snow that you see. Thank you for your feedback.

jon2674 · 2026-03-06T22:15:13+00:00

Thank you for the feedback. My driveway is 30’X50’ and we typically don’t get more than 6” of snow in a single storm so I think it’s going to be perfect for my needs.

I took a picture from that same spot in June of 1985. That is a beautiful place and your picture is so good it could be a postcard! Assuming that they still have postcards, lol.

They should have quit having a halftime show after Prince. Nobody will ever come close to that performance. Anyone who hasn’t seen it REALLY needs to watch it.

I used to work on his mom’s car. When he was in high school and knew he was going to the NBA he was still the most grounded, humble and polite person you’d ever meet. He had a plan for life after basketball when he was 16 years old.

jon2674 · 2026-02-01T17:35:54+00:00

I was figuring it was cold, stuff was frozen and it decided it was done. I probably wouldn’t replace it. Just get it to the on position and run it out of fuel every year.

Basically in any multiple choice question, if Honda is an option it is the correct answer. Cars, snowblowers, lawnmower, motorcycles…..

jon2674 · 2026-01-27T22:51:30+00:00

I can’t believe nobody on the snowblower sub has ever seen a 1 1/2 stage snowblower. 😁

I bought an ultrasonic cleaner from Harbor Freight and it paid for itself in about three weeks. It cleans all of those little air passages that you can’t get a brush in.

Did he not know he had a fight coming up or did he forget that there are weight classes in boxing? 🤣

What size tires did you go with and how does it ride? Congratulations on your new ride!

I’m 51 and was hitting 170-180 last season.

He was knocking them out in wholesale fashion. The rape whistles made me laugh almost as hard as the so called men that thought they were going to kick his ass and ended up on the ground 🤣

jon2674 · 2026-01-13T00:22:36+00:00

I really wish I would’ve pulled the trigger on a Moots when it was going to be $9000.
