Like some others here I am contributing to Hound's family. I don't
know how
to tell you how to contribute except to just put some Lb Sterling in
an envelope
and send it on. I'm sure the banks here will know what to do with it.
In regard
to Hound's recipies, I just finished putting up a couple of yard birds
that were
marinated in Hound's brine for two days. As usual the skin was
useless, but
the meat was so succulent you could die for.

For the innocent offset BBQ'ers I did lump over some previously burned
down
logs and then added a chimney of live lump on top. Added about a half
chimney
of cold lump at the one hour mark. Fire maintained at ~250° at the
dome for the
whole time. There were no spikes or drops. Four point five pound
birds (2)
were done to 165° in two hours. Bird closest to the firebox was done
ten minutes
before the second bird.
