For a while now, ive been smoking meat for a few hours, then wrap it as needed, and put it on the grill on a low roll. It comes out tender and cooked enough for my wife to enjoy it. That last part is key to a good night.

That’s a wild story 4000 miles. Wow, happy Thanksgiving to you and yours. -
I've been seeing lots of pictures and videos of spatchcocked turkeys lately, and they looked really good after they were smoked. They looked like this at first- I've never done one but i've been wanting to try it. So I did yesterday, but much like the pictures of the hamburgers in the window at the Tastee-Freez, mine looked nothing like the pictures I saw. Mine looked like a disaster. So I just cut the leg quarters off and cooked it on the offset smoker kinda like a big chicken. It never did get done, I couldn't get the temp. up on the smoker. I blame it on the wind, it was very windy . I should have either put it on the Pit Barrel or grilled it like chicken. I guess. Anyhow, I pulled it off at 150 degrees and I haven't decided yet whether to put it in the oven today or put it on the grill until it's done, and hope it's not dry as a chip. I think I'll put it in the oven at about 200 degrees.

B-73 Restoration

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!! Just closing up the first full year with the B73 on the road and tomorrow it's off to storage along with the Cadillac. I'm happy to report I put almost 4,000(!!) miles on it this season and the only casualty was the NOS speedometer I put in it, loudly died while coming back from Massachusetts three weeks ago. I couldn't get the cable off it when I stopped, so I continued on. It got louder and the needle spun wildly around to the stop numerous times until something broke inside and the needle came loose. The mileage was still counting and at least it was quieter now. I've got a box full of used "spares" I've accumulated and the only one that worked accurately was the original. So, thats back in it and working. The NOS one was spot on, in terms of accuracy, for once. Most of the vehicles I've got are off somewhat. The original is 1-2 mph fast so that's reasonable. I hope everyone had a good year and looking forward to the upcoming one. -
Seems the thorough screening only applies to the chosen 🤔

Same to you Paul! (Eventhough you're in Ireland, I guess you can still be thankful)

I have trucks that will hold some pressure overnight Like 25 psi left. The real test of a system is how many minutes it will go between compressor cycles while going down the road. Best truck I had, truck and trailer on air ride, air wipers, would go 45 minutes between cycles of the air drier. Anything less the 15 minutes and you have work to do. I haven't seen an air system that will hold for several days on the main system. My air start would hold enough air to start for 4 weeks, but the main system will be empty.

Go the Brockway Facebook page and ask.. They do not have a website discussion forums anymore??

Happy Thanksgiveing day to you all from Ireland.. Paul

I wish everyone a SAFE and happy Turkey Day.. Especially if you are on the road with all the idiots.
-
Na, it is beacuse if you are a rookie, and trying to pull the loaded trailer with parking brakes on, you need full power available!
- Yesterday
-
Parking brakes applied. If no air is going to release the parking brakes, none is going to the puff limiter. This allows the rack to move to the full fuel position. Even if it is only cranking, still allows as much fuel as possible if you have the throttle to the floor.

Happy Thanksgiving Guys!! I'm gonna be Bootleggin Moo Dawg BREW this year on Turkey Day!!
-
Yeah thats the scary thing, nowadays even when you know they are handing us lies there's still alot of people that aren't smart to using their head and question it. And like you said, with AI involved now its going to be much worse.
-
Read through this entire thread. It will explain it as well as the E7 LDA system. I went down this rabbit hole a few years back
-
So Mark just to be clear the puff limiter is not working at that point ! Hopefully no one is starting a truck with the park brakes released ! 😂
-
Puff limiter does help for cold starts. When the parking brakes are applied, it allows the rack to go to fuel fuel so it can get as rich a mixture as possible for a cold start.

This was the Mack East Coast factory demonstrator and I believe the one used for some of the R model pumper brochure pics. It is an R611F, third one built. I also have one of the StL City R608F’s, 6th one built, with the 707C gas engine. It runs and drives but has issues. The cab and chassis are perfect. The pump body has cabinet rot but the R611F is immaculate all over. We have lettered the R611F as StL City Pumper 32, the original identity of my R608F.
