    Fridge getting old.......REALLY old

    Looks like I have to remove the front door to make it fit through so I’ll need to get that done as well. Oh, here is the one I got. I have had the 2 drawer freezer on the current LG and opted to go with a single drawer. Not a feature I’d want to repeat. LG 26 cu. ft. Smart Counter-Depth MAX...

    Pork Butt - should I cut it.

    Good question. I usually get my shoulders from Buds Custom Meats in Rohnert Park. Their meats are excelle. Daughter got the butt from COSTCO. Whether or not it’s in 2 pieces, I will still smoke in 2 pieces in the interest of bark and time followed by 4 hour chest rest. Plan is to cook at 275...

    Pork Butt - should I cut it.

    Need some advice, have a COSTCO 15 point butt to smoke on Saturday for my daughter. Will be eaten Sunday. The question is - should I cut it in half a cook 2 each 7.5 pounders, or cook it whole. I am leaning on halving to save time. Thoughts?

    Fridge getting old.......REALLY old

    Remember to shut off the water to the fridge and let the ice maker drop its last cubes. Saves mopping….. Let me know how it goes, my DOD date is midday Friday.

    Fridge getting old.......REALLY old

    Looks good. After our shopping and pricing, Lowe’s, Home Depot, and a couple of local appliance stores couldn’t match the COSTCO offering. We could have had it installed next Wednesday, but schedule conflicts moved it to Friday. I plan to pick up some dry ice from a local gas company to put...

    Fridge getting old.......REALLY old

    Just bit the wallet for an LG 26’ counter depth fridge from COSTCO. No dual icemaker. They will install next Friday. Very similar to our current LG but with a single freezer drawer, not the 2 we have now. Never was a fan of the 2 drawer freezer. Overall, the current LG fridge has been good for...

    Sous vide

    I got an Anova for Christmas. Don’t use it too often but I do like it.

    How long does your WSM run on a single load of fuel?

    I’ve gotten 12 hours on a full load in my 22 WSM. If I need to add fuel, I use Chris’ pour method using a piece of cardboard. Adding fuel

    ATK take on Charcoal

    To be honest, I’m not 100% sure I can tell the difference. I use JD lump for grilling and Brix for LAS. No one has ever said - you would use lump for LAS. As to the smoke at startup, KP does smoke a lot but once above a couple of hundred degrees, it stops. Not a show stopper for me unless the...

    Fridge getting old.......REALLY old

    Ahhh. But who is the cook in the house? Since I am in our house, I am able to get the single drawer freezer I’ve been wanting. She was holding her ground on a double drawer till she (was made to) realize that I open the freezer way more often than she does. Plant you argument seed and wait for it.

    China builds what they are asked as Andy so well pointed out, garbage/cheap design in, garbage out.

    Memorial Day - Remember & Honor

    Thinking of my dad (30 years army) and my brother (20 years army. Both are no longer with us but I still think of them often.

    Fridge getting old.......REALLY old

    Ice maker/water dispenser in the door is a must for us. Our dispenser has survived 16 years with no issues. While hope is most often not a good plan, I am hoping history repeats itself….

    Fridge getting old.......REALLY old

    I’m in the same boat. Bought our LG in 2008. It had few issue but it’s 16 years old. My preference is to replace prior to a DOA situation. Home Depot will haul old one away for $50. I plan to do that. Ir you can get 50 bucks, I vote take it. It’ll cost a lot more if you lose the contents...

    What are you cooking for Smoke Day?

    Unfortunately, we have had to move the rib cook to the WSK. We’ve added chocolate cake drizzled with ganache with mini chocolate chips. Preference was for watermelon fries vs. fruit salad. Less work for moi.

    Concerned my Weber Crafted Griddle is not seasoning correctly

    If you didn’t strip off the old “too much” layer it may flake a bit. But as the others have said, just start using it. I have enjoyed the griddle insert on the Genesis so much, I just leave it in. Once done cooking, I scrape the flattop and remove the grease and caca. I do a really light wipe...

    Vacuum Seal Extra Coffee Beans

    At our house, we just get what we need. No frezzing, vac sealing, etc. I buy my coffee (ground) at the Petaluma coffee and Tea Company here in town (~2 miles away). (EDIT: They roast on site.) Best quality coffee I’ve found so far. Typically we get a 1/2 pound of 2 different kinds. After 10...
