I do the vacuum seal, freeze, reheat in the bag in boiling water method. One thing to realize about freezing pulled pork. I’d doesn’t get any better with age so freeze it the next day. If you leave it in the fridge and it dries out and then you freeze it, don’t expect it to be any better when...

Sure! https://www.virtualweberbullet.com/bushs-beans-doctored-brown-sugar-molasses/

Not too long ago, I found a recipe on this site, posted by Chris, to add some simple ingredients to a can of baked beans and enhance them. I mean, it wasn’t Keri’s baked beans, but for the time and effort, a welcome improvement over just out of the can. Wondering if anyone has a similar hack...

I start my chimney the way a Chris shows earlier in this thread except I load the charcoal first. Then I just set my chimney right on the unlit charcoal. I use a Weber starter cube, set right on the unlit charcoal, set my chimney on top of that and then when the chimney charcoal is lit, I pour...

I’m a person who doesn’t like a lot of smoke. Chicken is really susceptible to over smoking. I don’t even use wood chunks when doing chicken. I just use a good quality lump charcoal. The bottom line with smoke is that it’s personal taste. About all you can do is start off with small amounts...

More than 16 hours for sure. Done it plenty of times and had charcoal left after the butts were done.

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...
