  1. I've just renewed. Personally I have enjoyed the magazines and plan to attend the conference. This will be my first vacation away from the water. I'm looking forward to soaking up a lot of info. You can figure the price aint bad for dues. Sams club cost almost as much and that's just to let you in to spend more money.

  3. If you let your fire get to low in the pot it will cause the sides to burn looking like corrosion and eventually burning holes. We have a couple that this happenned to at Tidewater. The main thing is to keep pleanty of fuel while the fire is burning. Also be careful about putting water on hot cast iron.

  4. Guys down our way are getting the white painters canvas from Lowes or Wally World. A 9'x12' is $18. We take 2"x2" however long you want,put big nails in the ends. Put large grommets in the canvas where you want the legs and tie them down. Soak it down with 20 Mule team and water for fire resistance. They make a neat Civil War period looking shelter. I don't have a picture handy but I think you can get the idea. I've got the stuff to make one if I can get time, I'll take pictures if i do.
