Stripping Tip

No not that kind...

Painting one of the extra rooms at home to get it ready for our first grandchild and I wanted to strip off the paint the previous owner slapped on the door hinges. The young man warking at OSH asked what I was working on so I told him what I needed to do. He recommend to not buy the paint striper, but go purchase a bottle of white vinegar and mix it as 2 to 1 ratio and boil the hinges. Golly gee, worked like a champ and cheaper too, now just need to get that smell out of the house

Sounds like you need to set up a burner in the garage or out back!

Almost like when I boil hot links in Sierra Nevada Pale Ale before grilling.

Everybody asks who peed in the kitchen.

Hehehehehe been there done that

Try cooking a Raccoon in a pot and the wife may very well remove your head with a shotgun as they are pretty greasy and smell pretty rank when cooking Got to love that burner on the side of the BBQ...you can cart that thing to the south 40 and cook ANYTHING you want

Now I am thinking about some fresh Ramps to cook up and a mess of creasy greens

I made the mistake of doing that when my wife was very, very pregnant. She got all shades of green, then got sick.

It'll be a cold day in he!! before she'll let me cook another raccoon in the house.

Some people just have a strange way of appreciating fine foods

Ok,

I've never known anyone to eat raccoon, nor would I think anyone would want to, but I guess it's no different than dog or cat...



So does it taste like chicken ? Or what else ? Gamey flavor ?


Spill the beans, man.... inquiring minds want to know.

BTW,


If you want to strip paint, and you don't have much around except a quart of brake fluid.... No problem. Took the paint off of my truck's frame all the way down to bare metal. Great paint remover.

A heat gun works good too.

I'm gonna file away the vinegar trick.

Fry up a bear steak with some onions to remove the odor, then do the raccoon to mask that.

Well it is quite a bit different from either cat or dog, a gamier flavor and greasy as I mentioned earlier....kind like owl cooked in bear grease with wild onions

Ooooooh, Man....


That sounds appetizing. Do you think Wendy's will put it on their menu soon ?

I'll take the racoon happy meal with a large coke. Could I get some extra funk with that ? Thanks !

Possum is even greaser than coon. I would never try it in a kitchen, but over a campfire in the wee hours of the morning while coon hunting, it has been done. I wouldn't eat it again though.
