Hi Dave,
RH> We've been smoking a turkey the last few years we've been home for
RH> Thanksgiving. Last year we were up in NY with Steve's family, almost
RH> had fresh venison for dinner. As Steve and I were on the way to his
RH> sister's house in the early afternoon, a deer jumped out in front of
RH> the truck. Steve stood on the brakes, stopped about a foot short of
RH> hitting it.
DD> That "free" veison can get quite expensive if it's Bambi by Bumper. A
DD> local body shop here runs a billboard every couple of years with the
DD> message "If you got your deer by accident come see us for an estimate"
That's why a lot of trucks in deer areas have bumper guards, to
(hopefully) deflect the worst of the impact. Years ago, riding home from
college on break, with a friend, as we turned onto one road, I cautioned
him about the road being notorious for deer hits. I'd barely gotten the
words out of my mouth when we saw one on the side of the road. He stayed
there and we didn't see any more the rest of the trip. Now when Steve
and I travel, especially around dusk and in an area with lots of open
fields, I keep my eyes roving.
DD> When I do my dream kitchen I think I'll go for the convection/nuker
as DD> the top unit.
RH> We had that in our first camper, worked ok but couldn't do anything big
RH> in it. New camper has a regular oven, can do a small turkey in it but
RH> it's not convection. Stove at home has a combo convection/regular oven,
RH> full size microwave above it.
DD> It goes without saying the "big' oven would be fan forced as well as
DD> standard. I have a toaster oven for counter-top use that is also an
DD> air fryer/convection oven. It lives in the utility closet with the
DD> furnace
DD> and water heater until I clear enough of my (very) limited counter
DD> space to bring it out and use it.
OTOH our toaster/convection oven lives on a counter top right by the
stove. It gets used quite often; yesterday I toasted half a bagel in the
morning and baked some short cakes (to go with fresh strawberries) in
the afternoon.
