    Independence Day Smoke?

    I'm putting on a 11 lb boneless butt at about 4 pm. Then when it comes off, I'll stoke the fires and put on three cones of spares. It should keep us in Q for a while.

    Darn phone calls

    I don't get annoyed by spammers anymore. For the cell, I created a ringer called "Silence is Golden". It is three seconds of silence. That is now my default ringer and is for callers that are not in my contact list. Then, for those in my contact list, I assign them an audible ringer (or not...

    Slide-Aside Lid Holder?

    Anyone else try one of these with a WSM (instead of a hinge)? I bought this a while back and only used it a couple of times on my 18.5. I had to bend it some to get the lid clearance I wanted. It's a bit of weight hanging off the side so I think a latch or two between middle and bowl may be in...

    Has anyone heard or seen on of these yet?

    It's a nice idea, charcoal flavor with a gasser's convenience. Single-source briqs, not so nice.

    First Timer Genesis 1000 Rehab

    Are those patches of red poking through that flat black?

    New and smoldering

    Lump has relatively little ash. Try it. Look for Royal Oak locally. Pack it well.

    The updated version (1999) is available at my public library (y). On the off chance I looked and the original is available for checkout from archive.org. I've added it to the ever-growing list.

    Things Ain't What They Used to Be

    I bought a "new" Wahl Oster on ebay, $65. Ebay stat's said that 17 had been sold in the previous hour.

    Things Ain't What They Used to Be

    I haven't cut my hair since COVID started. I was going to wait until I got a vaccine to get a hair cut. That's not going to happen. My usual crew cut is getting shaggy and its time has come. I shopped Amazon to buy a DIY hair clipper. I guess I was a little late. Many are sold out or are...

    ThermoWorks Billows

    Because the daisy wheels are above the grate, the air from the blower may be blowing the heat up the cooker rather than into the fire. Have either of you tried an airflow director on the inside of the bowl? You can bend up a few layers of aluminum foil to make a thing that covers the daisy...

    Read Any Good Books Lately?

    I recently finished the autobiography of Calvin Coolidge. It was a recommend and I liked it. Your local library probably has a copy. Mine did not so I checked it out from archive.org. I also read (for not the first time) “A Lonely Kind of War”, by Harrison. It’s a highly regarded first person...

    Cord Cutters - - - -

    We've have Netflix (streaming & DVDs), and Amazon Prime. I use Netflix mainly for classics (DVDs) and documentaries. Amazon Prime has some old TV shows so we started watching Perry Mason. There were nine seasons of PM, but Prime only had five. But not really. Prime omitted shows from each...

    Please help me decide on my next grill

    I did not have a got experience with Broil King. Three years ago I bought a Baron from the local home store. I used it 3-4 times a week. Two months ago I disposed of it. The firebox had rusted out. <image>

    Spirit 500 drip tray mod?

    I patched a dime-sized hole in a drip pan using some high-temp RTV and 1/32 inch aluminum from the local home store. Then, before I used it, I bought a decent pan from a nice soul here. I really ought to try it out to see how well the RTV will hold up to cooking grease. Maybe next time I do...

    Switching to Lump...

    Royal Oak here in a WSM 18 with an ATC. I’ll put a couple of butts on with a full ring at 5pm at 225, and top off coal thru the door before I turn in for the night. In the morning I might see the fan speed starting to increase to maintain temp. I usually end up adding some coal thru the door to...
