Smoker project sounds like fun. Our big deal out here is beef brisket. As far as me, I'm just working in the blasted Texas heat. Yesterday i got off work, the digital in dash air temp gage in my DD read 110° at 3:30pm. Needless to say, i stay indoors after i get off work. I am rounding up parts for my project. When temps start getting down into the high 80s i will get back out there again.
We currently have a heat advisory till next wednesday. I have a 5 gallon water barrel i fill with ice every day for the guys who work for me. I am on them about making sure they drink enough, i brief em daily about this and about if they feel dizzy or weak to go sit down w a cup of water in the office or break room and take a break. I dont need anybody getting heatstroke.
