    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    Peet's Major Dickasons is consistently oily. Does that present problems to your grinder(s)?

    The Searwood has arrived!

    Truth be told, I dislike hearing him always touting that he's a teacher. BFD. Folks watching his videos aren't kids. Stop with simpleton explanations. Now I know why I'm sick of him. He was a one hit wonder for those seeking reassurance for their Weber pellet grill purchase. Not more.

    The Searwood has arrived!

    To his credit, he's far more tolerable than the arrogant dude Grilling Dad or whatever he calls himself...the schill for Kamado Joe.

    The Searwood has arrived!

    That's the part where his videos have value. I guess the Searwood has been out long enough to show that it's certainly not the Smokefire...and he did a great job explaining his issues, compared the two grills and added to the knowledge base of the Searwood for potential buyers. Now it's just...

    The Searwood has arrived!

    Am I the only one finding this guy a bit tiresome? Watching a guy talk while he's sitting on a bucket on his deck is not interesting. There's likely several hundred ways to cook ribs, his recipe looked like a confused candy store method. His detailed reporting of the Searwood is worthwhile but I...

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    The Fresh Market is a Southeast and Mid-Atlantic chain. Wegmans I'd NY, NJ, PA, Delaware. So regional I guess.

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    I've had the Starbucks version. Tend to agree regarding the Reddit opinions. It was typical Starbucks in a KS bag. Not anymore as you noted. I think it and the KS Colombian Supremo are the best overall bang for the buck. I'm fortunate in the sense that the local Costco stocks a decent variety...

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    Trader Joe's is similar. They carry something you really like...two weeks later you'll never see it again.

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    Costco's website is stuck somewhere in 1997 or so. It's incapable of showing stock availability for the local warehouse. It's terrible. However, there were 6-7 different types of whole bean coffee not including 1-2 decafs there yesterday. The Sam's Club we go to in Pleasantville...

    Coffee Beans what's in your grinder ???

    Was in Costco yesterday and picked up 3 bags of beans: House Blend=$10.99 Colombian Supremo =$14 but that's for a 3lb. bag Peet's Major Dickasons=$12 after $5 sale discount I noticed the Peet's now has a use by date, no longer a roasted on date. It's good stuff though and it will be long gone...

    Surprise Pork Butt cook

    So it was an 8.7lb. butt. I put on at 0930 hours at 175 until 1130... throwing some smoke at the lower temp. At 1130 I turned it to 280 until it reached 168 or so internal temperature. Wrapped it then and put it back on at 285 and it hit 203 at about 4:30PM at which point I brought it in to rest...

    Surprise Pork Butt cook

    I think I'll use the foil pan as you suggested next time. Cleanup will certainly be easier. It turned out great. I pulled it off to wrap in butcher paper this time at about 168. Then wrapped I cranked it up to 285 and took it off at 203 and let it sit wrapped for 45 minutes or so. Best one I've...

    Spider Huntsman vs Chud Grill

    The Huntsman is a different animal. It's a Kamado of sorts. That Chud thing is an overpriced tailgate grill. Metal Kamado = Akorn and similar. WSK for sure.

    Restaurant Depot coming to SF North Bay

    Was a member for several years as I had started a small business and was a registered LLC. The location was terrible though... Will, Delaware, so I stopped going. But if it's convenient and you meet the membership requirements, it's a really interesting place to shop. Cases of frozen lobster...

    Surprise Pork Butt cook

    I'll look at that. Thank you, Sir. Right now the Oakford and Inkbird Wi-fi apps are flawless albeit about 20 degrees difference on the IT and 5 degrees on the grill temp.

    Surprise Pork Butt cook

    In a somewhat out of character move for my wife, she came home with a 8.7lb. pork butt from Wegmans yesterday afternoon after we returned from our beach house. She had some recipe for cooking it in the crock pot but we discussed cutting it in half with one half in the crock pot the other on the...

    Spider Huntsman vs Chud Grill

    Looks like a votech school project for close to $2K. A Weber kettle or a metal kamado both do anything that contraption does at a fraction of the cost.

    Hopper hand guard grid

    I get that. I've got a 3.5 year old granddaughter but she's never going near this grill at this house. More concerned about her going near the hot Broilmaster on the deck of our beach house.

    Hopper hand guard grid

    Am I the only one that has removed this useless piece of metal from the pellet hopper? I put it in the same category as safety lock caps on laundry detergent pod containers and warning tags on extension cords.
