Weber Ranch Kettle AND new 22" rotisserie for sale in Louisville, KY - $600 Decided that I really don't need three Ranch Kettles. At least, not right now anyways. So, this one is up for sale. It's brand new, never been cooked on. BUT, it does have a few minor blemishes. If my schedule...

Damn, I guess it's up to the single guy to show you married guys how to be sneaky. Of course, if you come home with a compressor AND the media blasting stuff, you'll be in all sorts of trouble. The way to do it is to get the compressor first. Then, in a couple of months, like when...

I've had some Costco Prime NY's. Was all excited about them. Cooked them and was like "meh". Kroger steaks taste just as good to me. As to the IP and the temp, I have to admit that I haven't temp'ed any meat coming out of the bath. But I have read that the last degree is almost...

John, One thing that might lessen the bitter pill is the notion that ALL self respecting men ought to have an air compressor in their tool arsenal. Kind of like having a circular saw and a hammer. It's just MAN LAW. That way, the compressor doesn't figure into the cost of this project as it...

I usually smoke these at 225ish, but was trying them Sous Vide for the first time. The plan was for a 10.x and a 9.x lb on at 134 for 8 hours, to be followed by a short smoke and hot sear on a Weber Ranch Kettle. After posting about this elsewhere, someone else mentioned that they didn't...

Well, the reason I'm having somewhat mixed results is that I don't want to get a stupidly loud HF air compressor that has the right amount of power, and I also got the cheapest sand blaster they had, and under $20 with coupon. Basically, I wanted to try to do it on the cheap, and also just...

FWIW, based on my limited research, it's more about the SCFM I have a 2HP 10 Gal Cali Air Tools compressor that puts out 6.40 CFM @ 40 PSI and 5.30 CFM @ 90 PSI. It basically works ok with the cheap portable blaster from HF. It has trouble with seriously baked on stuff, but it did a good...

Do you have a decent air compressor ? If so, media blasting really isn't a bad alternative, and can be done somewhat on the cheap. My last 50lb bag of sand was $4.

IFthat part is tougher, then something is going wrong somewhere. The muscle is the Spinalis Dorsi and it's the second most tender muscle on the carcass.

Bruce, what I was kind of picturing was an series of events kind of like when you go to remove the grill box and that side bolt is stuck. You step through all the normal stuff with WD-40 and other de-rusters. Then you manage to snap off the bolt, so you try to use a reverse drill out tool...

I'm not a metallurgist Larry, but I could see some difference between repeated heating and cooling over time, versus applying direct heat and then more heat when one decided it wasn't hot enough, then "just a little hotter to get it to bend", ending up with a "Hey, I see the guys on Forging Fire...

Just an FYI FWIW, but while doing some research/reading on bending cast aluminum, quite a few folks who seemed knowledgeable said to refrain from using any heat. That heating could actually make it more brittle. Again, FWIW as I have no idea.

I have moved a couple of bowed fronts back in, but can't be exact as to how much travel there was as I never put a tape to any of them. I use a couple of 36inch bar/spread clamps (or whatever you call them.) Put a strip of 1x2 along the front lip and one along the back to distribute the...

yeah. I doubt I would have paid anywhere close to retail for mine. Another nice thing about the one Rich posted is that I believe it eliminates one step in the making of bags. On my old one, it had a roll holder, but you had to spool out whatever length you wanted. Cut it. Then stick...

I've purchased a couple of different cheap models of Foodsaver vac suckers over the years. Probably used each one about 20-30 times before they died on me. Between the limited use, and the cost of the bags, I wanted to go another route. One disclaimer though, I've never used any of the more...

Hahahah. My apologies for pointing you to the chamber sealer ;) I snagged a VP210. Man, I am LOVING it. EVERYTHING gets vac packed now, even if it's just going into the fridge for a day or two before being cooked.

That reminds me. Which sealer did you end up with ?

80% yield almost sounds like someone was using boneless butts. I'd go with 50-60%. Putting 6 butts in will increase your cook time by a couple of hours and will also cause you to use a lot more fuel. The physics of it is that the 6 butts is increased cold thermal mass that has to come to...

You did. If the hinge bolt is stuck that tightly, then force from the hammer blow will transfer to the cast aluminum. Basically, when seriously rusted together, it's almost like being welded.

Yep. That was me. Has been awhile, but at least at the time, Dave said that it wasn't really feasible.
