ThermoWorks updated the app (just before thanksgiving) so that you can group probes and base together - allows all to be integrated onto one graph Look for the “+” in lower right corner of app

This place I frequent says to use “minute” rice… https://www.sweetmarias.com/urnex-grindz-coffee-grinder-cleaner.html Urnex lists grains as top 2 ingredients: https://urnex.com/grindz-grinder-cleaning-tablets-home

Still clunky and needs a lot of refinement, but this was everyone’s biggest complaint about RFX vs Signals They had been promising this feature since release - read through the early reviews I’m actually surprised it took so long for them to respond since it was obviously holding back some sales

Warm moist air that escapes under the gasket will condense (and possibly drip) much like the goo that eventually collects at the exhaust damper Check your gasket and realign the lid if necessary by adjusting at the hinge

Could not graph all temps on one graph - had to open each individual probe to view graph Now they added “group” feature and you can include whatever devices you want - it’s the “+” button on lower right of main screen

Turns out Whole Foods provides Diestel Turkeys (at least in SF Bay Area) from the foothills above Sacramento https://diestelturkey.com/products/oven-roasted-whole-turkey They are brined and slow roasted, but no smoke on this particular selection… I’ve cooked their fresh turkeys before and they...

Turns out it is a meal from Whole Foods - they used to get from a small market but decided to switch this year I may try to spin on Vieluxe if it will fit. Will smoke enhance the taste if already precooked and what variety of smoking chips? ThermoWorks just updated their app to address the RFX...

325f Oil or butter on skin 1 to 1.25h until heated through Rest at least 15m

Dunno yet but I figured it’s probably in disposable foil pan for convenience I was thinking I could add smoke or crisp up skin… but will it improve the turkey and is it worth the trouble at this point? I think the Vieluxe IR burner has enough clearance for a small bird - could also add chips...

My sister in law ordered a complete thanksgiving meal from a high end caterer, but asked me to reheat the precooked whole turkey due to lack of oven space. The meal will be picked up from caterer the day before thanksgiving. Here are my options: Reheat in oven per caterer instructions Pellet...

Not sure if it was mentioned before… you need an IR Temp Gun to check stone temp I had an old one lying around but it didn’t go high enough for pizza temps - probably want at least 900f Ended up getting this one on sale https://www.thermoworks.com/ir-gun/

For reference - I got my torch for $13 last year, but similar configuration is no longer available

You definitely need the steel peel. This one peel can serve for launching, turning and removing. If you want to turn the pizza inside the oven, you can get a turning peel, but you can only use it if the pizza is smaller than the cavity of the oven. I believe the solo pi is a 12” oven so a...

I used the RFX in the short ribs that Kemper inspired me to try. I had a hard time getting the probes inserted beyond the insertion mark and still have the tip in the right position to read proper temp in the individual short ribs. In fact, the tips protruded out the far end of the meat...

So I noticed someone on FB Marketplace giving away a 2007 vintage Genesis grill when the lid hinges broke. Not interested in the grill itself but noticed the “forkula” stuffed in a box that had some Grillgrates. TLDR: I acquired for free a full set (5) of Grillgrates for a 2007 vintage Genesis...
