My Therm-Pro maverick was cheap as chips and has performed flawlessly. Simple, replacement probes are not astronomical but, I always keep a couple spares…just in case. I have had one probe go bad but, in six years, I’m really pretty well pleased. I don’t have many $30 tools that perform as well...

I used those for decades! I have a pair in the garage somewhere. My stepson gifted me a set of the “SuperDuty” 304SS baskets several years ago which were an upgrade from the factory baskets that I moved to the kettle at the cottage. My other baskets are in my dedicated roti kettle. The rails...

Turning cold here soon, will thaw some brisket and make some brisket chili for next weekend, I think. Thanks for inspiration Kemper!

I spent a LOT of time on my knees at the foot of the altar!

Not quite right on that, the celebrant (priest saying the Mass) cannot open his fingers After the consecration until receiving his post communion ablutions, lest he drop any particle of the consecrated host. Once he has returned to the altar and the acolyte “washes his fingers” with wine and...

Well, I STILL have no space so, it will be someone else’s joy or headache this go round.

We are going to a friend’s for dinner and I just scraped the fuzz, man, I’m getting old! Mike, I’ve used Edge before, it is a little different, get a can and experiment. Just used Cremo sandalwood and the face feels pretty darned smooth! And, with a brush, it lathers up pretty well, not as much...

The old owner at Fruitawood passed it to a guy that’s doing a very nice job in communication and supply. Great people! Try some of the “Merlot / Bourbon barrel” stuff if they have any, I use it on brisket with FABULOUS results! NFI

“Burnt Fingers” I’ll find the recipe and post that but, as I recall it’s pretty simple, Evoo Balsamic Vinegar Garlic Fresh basil salt and pepper Blitz it all to a beautiful homogeneous thin mayonnaise consistency. Slice the rack into singles (or doubles) I usually use singles, when there are a...

I’m seeing Bert Reynolds’s falling off the chair and crying his laughing eyes out!

The thing is, “Who in blazes is that old fart staring back at me!” When I look in the mirror? I’ve gone back to a brush and soap from time to time, the end result IS worth the extra effort. When I don’t go that route, I’ve been using Cremo and the brush. If I don’t have time I still use Barbasol.

Those racks look pretty near perfect to me! Larry’s marinade is very much like what I like unless I go the “Scotta Ditta” route.

Yes to all of the above! I can’t emphasize the critical need for an escape from wind! I built this… It’s been modified a little over time, but, it started as one section of stockade fence.

Yep, rarely smoked the “Red Death” but Lucky’s, “Humps” then when they changed the packaging on Camel filters I switched from Marlboros! I still have a butt to smoke when I smoke a butt sometimes. I’m lucky, I seem to be able to smoke for a month or two and then quit for years. High stress sends...

Galvanized bucket?

Cocktail hour not withstanding, that looks just fine for me!

That’s going to be a fun one to say the least!

Nice work Mike! I’d love a clipboard, do you sell them? I have allowed my cypress grill table to weather the last two years, I had tung oiled it for the first couple but, life got in the way and now, I’m kind of liking the grey natural wear appearance. My patio bar which comes in after use...

Andy, I have a flock of beet fans here, can you share Oma’s recipe?
