I cooked my first one in my Master Touch last year, and kept the temp between 250 and 275. I don't remember how long it took, but it felt like it went faster than I expected. I just sprinkled coarse salt and pepper on it, and used some apple wood. I pulled it off at 125 degrees, tented, and...

Welcome, Kevin. I actually grew up in Columbus, though I now live up by Ball State University. This is a great forum for grilling and smoking, and you will learn a lot. And besides that, it's one of the best run and most cordial forums out there. I personally cannot help with opinions on the...

I don't think that's subjective. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that Spotify has higher quality streams (higher bit rate).

I have YouTube Music, but by way of having Google Play Music and Google getting rid of that and switching everyone to YouTube Music. I was able to transfer all of my playlists and such, which helped, but YTM is not as good as GPM was. Having said that, I've messed a little with Amazon Music...

I turn my vortex upside down (wide side up) under the gourmet grate hole and fill it with the coals for my wok cooking. Gets real hot.

Brewing beer Model Rocketry - These two are my own design/build; part of what I call the Starbucks series. Yes, they have been launched and recovered, multiple times.

I have two daughters that have both asked multiple times for me to teach them to cook (my wife bakes, but doesn't cook). I point out that apparently in our house, the first 15-30 minutes of cooking dinner involves cleaning everyone else's mess left in the kitchen throughout the day so that...

Well, crap...I hadn't considered the freezing part of that yet. I can see from the basement where the pipes run up. I'll have to take a closer look at that to see what we're dealing with. The alarm system has a temp sensor in the basement that's supposed to go off if it gets too cold to...

I didn't cook a full turkey this year because it was just me, my wife, and daughters. I found some turkey breast tenderloins, rubbed them with olive oil, fresh rosemary, sage, thyme, chives, salt, and pepper and cooked them on the kettle with the vortex. I cut up the leftovers in small pieces...

Back at the end of June we moved into a house built in 1938. The kitchen faucet, old wall mount one, was leaking on the hot side during the inspection, and the owners had a plumber in to fix it before we closed. About a week after we moved in, it started leaking again, and we had a different...

A priest, a minister, and a rabbit walk into a bar. The rabbit says, "I think I may be a typo."

I use the charcoal grills about 90% of the time. I too will get the chimney started and do the food prep work while it's going. With that in mind, the "wait" for charcoal isn't really a wait at all. I usually only use the Q1200 gas for real quick, small, little to no prep needed foods like...

The first time I smoked a turkey, I did a lot of reading online and read that something to do with the structure of the muscle of a turkey (apologies for not remembering the terminology) was such that, unlike a brisket, cooking it low and slow doesn't really provide any more tenderness than...

I preface this by saying that I have never had or used a Le Creuset. But after doing a bunch of research on testing and reviews that showed little to no difference in performance/quality, I bought a Lodge. Mine is not enameled. I have baked bread; use it all of the time for chili...

I have that pan and two other smaller ones from Lodge. I have several cast iron, but when we moved to the new house with a glass top induction cooktop, I got a little paranoid about dropping those heavy suckers on the glass and decided to try the carbon steel. They are lighter than the cast...

You all are very bad influences. I now have one of these sitting in the oven (yeah, I somehow got it to fit) after round 1 of seasoning last night. Hoping to make some breakfast outside this weekend.

Let me know what you think if you do. I've been with Google Play Music for quite a while, which I like and it works great with all my Google Speakers in the house. But it's being discontinued and I've not been as happy so far with its replacement, YouTube Music (it's slowly been improving, but...

My roommates and I threw a Boone's Farm party one night. Instead of the typical keg for a college party, we bought several cases of Boones Farm. Some 30 years later it's still talked about by friends with some odd reverence. It was a very fun and memorable party.

Local grocery apparently has some beef ribs on sale right now. I'm going to have to stop and see what, if any, is left. I've only ever cooked pork ribs and would really like to give beef a try.

Looks great! It took me a few tries to realize I need to use day old rice to make it any good. I've not dried it out as much as you describe...yet. Time to experiment some more.
