I ended up going to the Le Creuset outlet store and got a great deal. I got a great deal. It was less than the internet price right off the bat and then it was 40% off on top of that. So I ended up with the 9 Qt Oval that lists at $450 for $255. Went back later and got my daughter the 7.5 Qt...

In our Costco, they have no frozen pineapple. Last year, they didn’t have frozen strawberries for awhile and this year, frozen pineapple. We drink a lot of smoothies. Sorry, didn’t notice ant pork butts as I’m still good in my freezer. I’ll definitely be keeping an eye out now though. I’m...

I have a Solo Stove Bonfire and love it. It’s been on sale recently for around $229. Kind of like a Weber or Thermoworks product. Not inexpensive but very well made and works great.

I bought an original thermopen many years ago. It’s still working. Then I bought an upgraded model. That one works, but it’s quirky. Sometimes when I open it, it does not come on. I also have a MK4 and it’s great. They‘ve really improved over the years. I also have a thermo pop. I never...

Thanks for looking out for me (us). Unfortunately, that’s a 3.5qt and I’m looking for a big one (9qt). It is a good price though. In my reading, it seems that these things have a history of going on sale after Christmas (Like Bill said above). I also have an outlet store not too far that I...

Yeah, I’d like a blue one, but color is not a concern if the price is right.

Well what do you know! Kroger has a sale going on right now. .99lb. picked one up even though I have two in the freezer. I’ll do it tomorrow since I don’t have to wait for it to unthaw. Sweet, we eat good and on the cheap tomorrow! Update: Looking pretty good for just over $8.

I have my eye on a Le Creuset 9qt oval. I want it for making pot roasts. I want the oval so that the meat sits on the bottom better during browning. I have the round Lodge which I think is 5qt. My daughter has the Le Creuset. I got the Lodge from her when she got the Le Creuset. She loves...

They are not in the price range you’re looking for, but they can be obtained for a bit less on sale and it’s getting close enough to Christmas that you can put them on you list (and buy for yourself :) ). Look at the Thermoworks products. Thermapen and Smoke. If you go to the buy, sell, trade...

Glad you are okay. Look for an app for your phone that will help you. I use a walking app and while probably not as good as a Garmin gps, would give me enough information to get back to where I started my walk. Great time with the grandson though. He‘ll remember that for life!

Thanks. I’ll hold off. I’ve got plenty that’s already cooked in the freezer, but if $1.79 was a great price these days, I would have jumped on it. I’ll add Meijer into my watch list.

I’ve been pulling from the freezer lately but it’s time to restock. What’s a good price for pork butts these days. I see a local ad for $1.79lb. I’m wondering if there’s any point in waiting for a better price. Shopping has been so different these past months, that I’m doubtful any real...

The blue smoke is actually what you're after. It's the billowing white smoke at the very beginning of the burn that you want to avoid. Once a fire is going well, there will be a thin blue smoke to even no smoke depending on how much wood you put in with the charcoal. Personally, I incorporate...

I use spray on my smoker grates, but for grilling, I don’t. I heat up the grill, brush it and then wipe it down with an oiled paper towel. My grates are SS and this process seems to work very well. Didn’t read the above articles, but my understanding is that sticking is mostly due to not...

Unfortunately, people like to eat at something close to a designated time. To deal with that, I’ve learned that the best thing to do with butts and briskets (the large meats) is to plan for several hours of hold/rest time wrapped in the cooler. That way you have a good buffer. Things like...

I was thinking the same thing. One of the tricks when roasting a bird is to ice the breast before you put it on so that it doesn’t get done before the thigh. Never seen it the other way around. I prefer pieces so that I can pull each when done.

Why does it recommend taking the temp to 160? Couldn't you eat them raw? Similarly, why/how did you settle on 144? For me, I just don't see the benefit. Frankly, those ingredients look more harmful to me than real beef. I've always been one to eat what it is. I never drank diet soda and if...

As said, it can be whatever you want - cheap or expensive. I'm a bit of a minimalist. I love gadgets, but I refrained, for the most part, from indulging in BBQ equipment. A WSM with a cheap thermometer is all you need. I definitely find value in my Thermapen, though it's hard to argue that...

Why wouldn't you just get another Taylor? They're $12.74 on Amazon. For pit temp, I've been using mine just hanging it through the top vent and it works fine. Sure, if I was going to spend money, I'd likely get a Smoke 2-channel. But for under $15, you'll be back to where you were before the...

I try to be a minimalist, but if I ever get another thermometer, it would be a Smoke. I used to have a Maverick, but I basically just stopped using it. Once I got real familiar with my machine, I just didn't need it. At most, I'll hang a probe in the top vent to make sure my temp is in the...
