Obsessions

[dj1340]

I've tried that, wife was pissed that her car smelled like smoke.

I'm contemplating adding some vent fans in the ceiling of the garage and moving her car out of the garage while I smoke.

Do you know if those propane burners burn clean enough to use in an inclosed space?

You need a little ventilation when burning propane, i usually lift the garage door about an inch and crack the back door a bit.
I have 2 ceiling fans I turn on and crank up the heater. It is about 43,000 btu's so it puts out some heat. 42" lCD with
satellite and beer fridge. Gets 70 deg pretty quick. Sometimes I put a small fan on the floor pointed towards the door to draw
smoke out.

I'm expecting this thread will provide the Winter's reading material.

Great idea Jessie, going to be fun.

My obsession currently is completing a wineador of my own. I have a vinotemp vt34 and just ordered Spanish cedar drawers and shelves. For now I opened my tupperadors and set them on the wine bottle racks. May have to start a build thread soon...

My obsessions are pretty mild - I wouldn't really call them obsessions at all. More like strong interests, but short of obsessions. So here's my list:

I love cigar memorabilia - old tools and such, especially ones I can still use. I have an old cigar-box opening and closing tool with a bottle opener on it from the 30s, and I have a vintage woven wood 3-stick cigar carrying case. Also for carrying cigars I have a Walt Disney World 3-stick cigar box. I don't know how old it is, but the original price tag on it said $1.80. When were 3 brevas cigars at Disney World $1.80? When it isn't carrying cigars on a cruise ship, it'll be displaying my NOS book of Disneyland Tobacco Shop matches, together with future similar acquisitions.

I love to burn up cigars that some people might think are collectible. I'll collect the experience, thank you. So, you may wonder how the original price tag was on the Disney World box? Because it was still wrapped in cellophane and contained the original cigars. When I smoke one, I'll document the experience. I also came across a few clear Havana cigars that are sitting in my coolidor waiting for their turn on the firing line. Another experience to be documented.

Roll your own - I have come up with two blends that meet 2/3 of my NC preferences, and a 3rd waiting for testing to see if it's the 3/3. The goal is to convert my smoking habit to almost entirely home-rolled and Swiss and Hong Kong cigars, with only a few NC purchases for nostalgic reasons.
