Yeah, my first time smoking ribs I didn't use any seasonings at all. I remember the meat came out bitter from the smoke wood (mesquite). I don't think I used a sauce though - that likely would have helped.

I frequently see a debate about whether or not to soak wood chips before tossing them onto your coals. Those who are in favor of soaking say that you should do it because otherwise the chips will flame up instead of smoldering. What's the big deal if they flame up though? Thanks, Pinny

The only time I have had issues with bag failure is when my original seal wasn't flat on the heat strip. I don't use the 11" rolls - they are too big for my FS. I like the 8" rolls the best, as they don't overflow the plastic "tub."

Yup, New England Coffee is great too. It is however, a tad more expensive than 8 o'clock.

Ok, I just purchased an entire set (4 stones, tapes, dvd, ceramic hone, ect.). It was slightly used, (in "like new condition") off Knifeforums.com buy/sell forum, but it was only $150 shipped. Pretty sweet deal, now I just have to wait for it too come. Thanks for helping me buy the right thing...

d keen, the site you posted gets flagged by chrome as badware.

OK - you guys have convinced me - I'll get the Edge Pro Apex. Which one should I get. Can I get the cheapest, and then buy the other parts later? Also, the cheapest one doesn't come with the DVD. Anyone wanna lend me there's?

http://www.cabelas.com/cabelas...18a&_requestid=71169 That one has angles as low as 15 and 11 degrees. Think it might do a good job?

Are any of you familiar with the Lansky sharpening system or the Spiderco Sharpmaker? The Lansky system (also GATCO makes one) looks really easy to use (kind of like a primitive, poor man's Edge Pro Apex). Would it work well with my Global knives...

Chris, All the improvements listed in that press release look really excellent. I think I will actually buy the new one when I can afford it. Also, to be fair, my Thermapen didn't actually die in the rain. It wouldn't turn on for about a week, and then it started working, but the reading was...

I have never once had a piece of electronics fail after a light rain. I've left out a variety of cheap digital thermometers and grill lights. The worst that happened was to a $10 Polder thermometer, where the screen went blank after a heavy snow. Even then, it dried out for a day and worked fine...

I too have many kitchen-aide can openers that are worthless. My dad found an amazing one made by Victorinox/Forschner and it's only ~$10. It's the only one I've seen that can actually finish the job. It's really a high quality piece. And as a bonus, it has a solid beer bottle opener on top...

I can't believe a $100 thermometer comes in a .50 cent casing. A high end kitchen thermometer that's totally not waterproof? If you open up the case (which I had to do after a light rain), you'll see that the wire which attaches the probe to the main unit is thin as a hair. And then if you want...

Thanks Kevin. One more question- do I have to get the Global brand diamond/ceramic steel, or can I just use the Smith's brand diamond steel I already own. The steel was only 15 bucks at walmart, but it feels like a high quality item to me.

I went to the knife shop today to get an upgrade to my Cutco chef's knife. I tried the Shun and Wuthoff classic but didn't find either comfortable. The Global G-2 (8" chef knife), however was a dream! It is so comfortable in my hand, and it's also razor sharp. I don't think I'll ever use my...

I believe it's called flanken cut. Not totally sure.

I was thinking the same thing: who manicures his backyard for him? The landscaping is beautiful.

That looks unbelievably delicious if a bit overdone. Thanks for posting the pics, I dont do facebook either. You should leave them up as they illustrate the foil/trivet method perfectly.

heh, i appreciate the thought
