    Large Pork Butts vs Small Pork Butts

    I will split a large one in half, I prefer more smoke-bark flavor and large butts can have a bland taste in the center

    Ive used crisbee on both cast iron and carbon steel pans, works well the lodge skillets ive had in the past had seasoning that wasnt quite set yet, it wasnt completely "baked" which will feel slightly sticky....I just throw them in the oven @425 for an hour to get rid of the sticky.... Ive...

    Carbon steel is killing me

    I seasoned mine using the potato peeling- kosher salt-oil method on a gas stove ... when I clean mine I only use hot water and a paper towel, then hand dry with towel. Then I put a micro thin coating of canola oil on it while the pan is cold certain foods will cause the seasoning to go away, I...

    2 years ago I paid $50 for precut tree, last year I purchased a fake tree on clearance at lowes for $130...one that I thought looked real enough but I still prefer real trees ....prices of both are outrageous now

    Thermoworks Dot flashes “No Probe”. How can I fix?

    I like the thermoworks units but not impressed with the probes , had to replace mine already in less than a year so I am being extra careful with them now. My cheap taylor and maverick probes have worked for over a decade and I abuse them

    Out of round 26" Weber..... your thoughts?

    I always check for out of round condition before putting it together, generally ive found the lid to have an issue but sometimes the bowl can too have about 1/8 to 3/16" out of round and it's not hard to fix...measure across in multiple directions and set a piece of wood on the ground and apply...

    Water pan replacement in 2022

    I have the fire dial and with it alone in the cooker with no water pan it is cooking direct so things will cook faster and your temp will show higher. I personally only use it for chicken, cooking any meat with alot of fat including ribs will eventually end up having a burnt grease taste to...

    Finally back to charcoal!

    we had a few red flag days where I chose not to fire up the kettle, 20+ mph winds and a tiny spark leaving the grill would have been a disaster considering I live near a forested area

    I debated the encore but decided I probably didn’t need 40 different grind settings , I purchased the capresso infinity with 16 grind settings . It works great , quieter compared to some others but only has a simple timer with auto shutoff . The encore is probably the most popular Grinder for...

    Technivorm Moccamaster Coffee Machine

    ive seen a taste test on seattle coffee gear youtube channel and they claim the glass carafe tasted better...the hotplate keeps the coffee around 170-180f ...I purchased the glass version in 2015 and the carafe is a little delicate, factor in the chance you might have to purchase a replacement...

    How much babysitting does a Slow 'n Sear need?

    I smoked on the old kettles and now the new design with the P style vents, I find the P vent adds a new level of control...I set mine up to smoke some baby backs and it held 260 +or - 5 rock solid for the entire cook ...no water pan and the outside temp was about 95 degrees in the shade
