I always had good luck with Kennebec's. Tried to grow Yukon Gold one year and failed.

I plan on finding out, I don't want to go to big and spread to to many crops on my first shot at it. Corn is a big thing for me, I could eat corn almost 365 days a year.

I believe I'm spending the day outside tomorrow.
I have two packages of Country Style pork ribs to get rubbed tonight so they can go in the smoker for a few hours tomorrow.
And I really need to get hard at getting the lights on the back of Ka'Bluey fixed.

Smoker

I had a little work to do this morning before I get that smoker stoked for my Country Style ribs I prepped yesterday.
This is why Rednecks don't throw things away. That old Missouri license plate is the perfect size to cover that hole in the firebox. Is it air tight? nope. But it also isn't a gaping hole that I have to look at either.
Hope y'all are safe.

man, i would just about drive to the coast for some decent ribs.I come from south georgia and spent some time near memphis and those folks know ribs (especially dry rub). Everyone here in asheville screams praises for 12 Bones restaurant ribs(local famous hotspot) and they are ok (their blueberry dry rub probably being the best) however overall, they are nothing to write home to mom about..

It's not structural, so I wonder if I could weld that air tight, or if I'd just burn through the license plate.

No, it isn't structural, and no it couldn't be welded, the metal there is way too thin.
But it did still smoke some tasty ribs

I couldn't agree more about a good dry rub I believe that Georgia, and Tennessee share the same kind of BBQ as Kansas City, where I grew up. A little dry rub goes a long way. When I do ribs for us at the house, I do one slab wet, and one slab dry. One with Sauce, and one without. And I cook with Hickory wood for ribs, and Beef Brisket.

Congrats to your wife! Promotion or just moving up.
Here's how I do my favorite tater.
I like a nice size Baker, then I jab it with a fork a couple dozen times. Then cover it with butter, then wrap 2 strips of Applewood smoked bacon, then wrap in aluminum foil, then out on the grill. You'll be able to taste that bacon through that whole tater, and makes a tasty skin to eat as well

How long does it typically take on the grill?

She is leaving the daycare that she has been at since moving here. It's became a drama filled place and she's tired of it. So moving on to another job as a nanny for some of the kids she has had at the daycare. Good thing is she is looking at a couple extra bucks a month.

That really depends on how hot you have the grill running. If I do them on my charcoal grill, with the grate 8"s or so over the coals, I turn them 1/4 turn every 10 to 15 minutes. And I keep doing that until that potato is soft. But I'd guess 45 minutes to an hour for a nice soft tater. And when that Bacon starts cooking, you can count on some flare ups.
