Thanks, Brett!

Happy Thanksgiving! It’s been a nice, easy day so far. It’s just the wife, pups, and I. We relaxed, had coffee, and then went and got our Christmas tree. I carried it around one handed! We don’t trust our 5 mo. old pup around any branches, decorations, or anything else really. She’s cute...

How do you make the cube shapes? Ruler? So, you just break them off frozen, not thaw the whole bag and refreeze. It’s that easy to snap off?

Happy Thanksgiving! What caught my eye is the garlic. Mmmmmmm. I’m curious, about it. It looks like you packaged it up in like 1”x1” squares. I’m assuming it was intentional. Is that just so you can grab a chunk at a time?

I got the Billows a few months ago. I have gotten to use it once. Life has gotten in the way. I used it for a 17-hour pulled pork cook. It held very well over night while I slept. Only time it didn’t do as well was right at the end when the bowl was FULL of ash. Just bought the battery when it...

Those steaks look great! I join the chorus of folks wanting to know about the roasted cauliflower. I also would love to know more about the brine!

Thanks, Timothy! I somehow missed the memo. That’s great news!

Yeah, there’s probably more truth to that than I’d like to admit. I just wasn’t all that impressed with the Weber Apple chunks I bought from the local hardware store compared to where I used to order them from. Is it psychological? Probably. 🤪

I had not heard that they were staying open! That’s great news!

My stash of chunks is dwindling and I need some good stuff. I don’t want to buy packaged chunks from the hardware store. So, where are you getting yours from? Do they ship nationwide? Thanks!

Growing up, dad and I used to go to a BBQ joint a lot. I loved their chopped ham plate but my absolute favorite thing there was their Brunswick Stew. I had some leftover pork and chicken hanging out and decided to make some. Got about 30 minutes of simmering left, but here’s what she looks like.

Glad they caught it early. Kick that cancer’s a$$, Mrs. Michaels!!!!! 🙏🏼

That’s Sadie! She’s now 10 weeks old and is a perfect combination of sweet baby and mini-menace with sharp little teefs.

After being used to 13 hours, going to 16-17.5 hours is infuriating. I couldn’t imagine 19. At least this time I wasn’t trying to feed other people. I just wanted it done by dinner time.

I haven’t tried that yet. My smoker has generally been reluctant to go above 280* Now that I have the Billows, I may try that though.
