    Wings are my favorite to do, and I think I finally got my method down after piecing together from other peoples’ methods. The first batch I did turned out rubbery and I wound up tossing the whole batch. 
     

    The wings pictured here are the best  I’ve ever done in any appliance.

    Great stuff!

    If you want to try something new: Throw them in the deep fryer for two minutes after you pull off the smoker. 

    Let's talk wood

    What's your favorite all-around wood?

    I recently became hooked on, yes, white oak. Gives off a hint of vanilla, with a light-moderate profile. Works especially well for larger cuts of meat. I tend to mix with pecan. 

    *Hickory is rare as gold right now, in south Louisiana. 

    If we would only hold the makers of assault weapons to the same questioning...........

    Yes, I was referring to social media apps.

    What I think is clear is that both topics concern areas where there is a constitutional right established.  Freedom of Speech and the 2nd amendment's right to bear arms.  My initial question was seeking the opinion of others as to why the same people applauding the public dress down of social media companies in the Senate hearing would be angered by the same questions being asked to the manufacturers of assault weapons?

    Subjecting social media companies to even half the number of regulations imposed on gun manufacturer's would be a solid start. I think that's what people want to see.

    My solution would get shouted down by both sides, but here it is: Parents, don't give your children iphones.

    Lawsuits against gun manufacturers are extremely difficult to bring.  They have a great deal of protection under the 2005  Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.

    I am not against regulating social media platforms in some way.  My question is do they bear responsibility simply because they exist or do they have to fail to do something in order to be culpable? 

    My point is, you can bring those lawsuits nonetheless. State consumer protection laws are a good example. The same cannot be said of social media platforms. Granted, I don't think badgering Zuckerberg on national television solves anything; pointless clickbait in my opinion. 

    If a gun manufacturer can be held liable under a typical state consumer protection law, I think a social media company should too. I haven't seen that happen, however.
