    Any biscuit fans out there?

    I stopped buying tube biscuits decades ago. 30+ years ago, I was sharing an apartment with a college buddy (yes, we're still on speaking terms,) trying to sort out dinner one night. Lessee, leftover chicken. How about chicken a la king? He says I'll go get some tube biscuits...... no, no...

    Brisket in BigZ

    Larry, I've taken to husking fresh corn, and directly grilling over medium to medium high heat, until the kernel get some caramelization on them. Our favorite method these days.

    Any biscuit fans out there?

    I also make biscuits fairly regularly, based on buttermilk baking powder recipes. And use lard & butter...... Blueberry lemon biscuits are pretty darned good. If there's a dirty little secret about making biscuits, it's if you're working at it, you're doing it wrong.

    SLICING KNIFE. Mercer, Dexter, Messermeister or Victorinox?

    I have a Mercer slicer, albeit a slightly longer model: https://www.webstaurantstore.com/mercer-culinary-m13914-millennia-14-granton-edge-slicer-knife/470M13914.html Apparently a bit of a bargain at $34 each right now (watch out for S&H.) I am quite happy with mine.

    SmokeFire and Weber Tech Support

    Well, fuses are generally considered to be consumable items. Personally, I don't expect vendors to supply replacement fuses, even under warranty. And if I don't have replacements on the shelf here, they're close by. The bigger question is just WHY did (or does) that fuse blow? Without...

    Whiskey - what's your current favorite?

    G/f & I just finished a bottle of Jameson's Very Rare Distiller's Edition 12yo that we picked up at the distillery near Cork, IE a few years ago. Wonderful stuff.

    Your charcoal is lying to you

    something else.... while I have noted pieces of lump charcoal that clearly came from dimensionally finished lumber, I have never seen anything that may have came from pressure treated, stained, or painted wood. That'd be a great big "HECK, NO!", and some unpleasant conversations ensuing, not...

    Strange food pairings.

    Oddly enough..... ran into someone here in town who has a similar sensitivity this week. Okay, not doing pulled pork for you. How about brisket instead?

    Your charcoal is lying to you

    Royal Oak is high on my list of do not use. Several years ago, I was getting a lot of non-burnables in Royal Oak lump, including better than a half lb. chunk of what I suspect was clinker (kiln lining.) I sent in a message to Royal Oak, and the reply I got back was more or less "too bad, so...

    Strange food pairings.

    I like a little salt on melons of all sorts. A sweet stout or porter (very malty and very low hops) with a scoop of good vanilla ice cream can make a wonderful float.

    Help identifying and finding small plastic part

    Plastic self tapping inserts are what you're looking for. I'd be starting in the fastener aisle at my local hardware store, I'll bet they're a stock item in those drawers.

    Advice Needed to when to Start Large Brisket

    Holding brisket in a well insulated picnic cooler for 6-8 hours isn't a problem, with the obvious caveat of keeping it above 140 degrees F. You can preheat the cooler with hot water (be careful to not warp the sheet plastic, that's easier than you think,) or add thermal mass like a couple of...

    Based on other activities I've noted around these here intarweb thingies..... I'm going to politely suggest that we all think multiple times before reposting comics, especially well-known and liked strips.
