Internal temp ?Not sure if it is ok to leave the hopper door open but that seems to set them off. Any still on the drum and smoke stack are well done at this point.
Funny they were all nested between the cover and the stack top, very top of the barrel and then in the top of the hopper. So Chickens and remaining ants are getting some Smokey goodness and heat.Attracted to the grease residue
Took it to 350 to get crispy skin , now that yard birds are on, 180 for a bit then 250 and then finishing hot.Internal temp ?
That sounds great! I was concerned that you were going to wrap.Took it to 350 to get crispy skin , now that yard birds are on, 180 for a bit then 250 and then finishing hot.
No wrap here, naked ants, might have to dip them in chocolate thoughThat sounds great! I was concerned that you were going to wrap.
Wow, thanks @Jim6820, my SNL just sent me a text on this as well. I was thinking Talcum powder might work but if the DE will not hurt my dog, it is a win.To prevent further invasions, sprinkle some diatomaceous earth around the access points (wheels and casters). Ants won’t cross the DE. You can get in the garden section of most big box hardware stores. And, it is safe and harmless for pets and humans. Relatively inexpensive too.
I have used it for years around our motorhome and it has never bothered our two Miniature Schnauzers.Wow, thanks @Jim6820, my SNL just sent me a text on this as well. I was thinking Talcum powder might work but if the DE will not hurt my dog, it is a win.
@Jim6820 Do you spread it out or pour a bead of it? Understand the ground area but thinking off around the wheels.I have used it for years around our motorhome and it has never bothered our two Miniature Schnauzers.
I just sprinkle a band of it (an inch or two wide) in a circle around the access point. It doesn’t have to be all that thick, just wide enough to create a barrier.@Jim6820 Do you spread it out or pour a bead of it? Understand the ground area but thinking off around the wheels.
This will solve your problem without the use of chemicals.Wow, thanks @Jim6820, my SNL just sent me a text on this as well. I was thinking Talcum powder might work but if the DE will not hurt my dog, it is a win.
I would add it to chicken feed, also dust the chickens with it. Works as a dewormer, kills parasites and stuff inside the animals as well as outside. Just adding to the it's safe part of the conversation.I have used it for years around our motorhome and it has never bothered our two Miniature Schnauzers.
Those would end up smoked and covered with BBQ sauce. Tastes like chicken!This will solve your problem without the use of chemicals.
