    Ruined Chicken - Woody Breast Syndrome.

    Well, I just did beer can (without the can, just on the stand) on the grill. 4lb bird --no brine, no seasoning, just out of the fridge and on the grill--after 1hr5min at 325-350o turned out perfectly juicy all over. Skin wasn't as crispy as I would like but still tasty. No wood here :D

    Just compare prior year return(s) to this years and as long as nothing has changed source-wise, those programs are super easy to learn/use. Course, that's coming from a CPA but I still use a free download. Up here, one I use is called Studio Tax. I can't imagine our tax structure is any...

    Sous Vide SNAFU (trashed a tri-tip & overcooked a ribeye)

    I still believe 100% in S.V. (despite what Monty said ;) ) but at 156o, a tad too long on the grill. Your plan at 2min per side might be pushing it if it was already 156o. OR was the 156 after your 2-3 min flipping period? Next time I'd stick to the max 1-2 min / side REGARDLESS of how brown...

    Mixing Dough With A KitchenAid Mixer

    ANY way works as long as the stone gets up to around 500o. Takes about 30-45 min. Got one of those infrared surface readers?

    Electric Pressure Washer Recommendation

    Make sure you read as many reviews of diff cannons as you can find b4 you buy. I did and got what I thought was the best one. It wasn't and it was sent back. THEN I reviewed tests done re: is a foam cannon really better than the usual hand washing? And I agreed with several reviews after...

    Beer.

    When I made my own brew, used a two-handed capper (still have the equipment). NEVER had any issues using it. It was a snap ;)

    Rotisserie...for the grill, or for the smoker?

    IMO, although I use both a "gas" grill and a WSM, I only have a rotisserie for the grill. There is no direct flame when smoking so I honestly can't see a need.

    Spicy Beer Mustard - trying 3 variations

    just made the original again. I adjusted a bit: 2/3 of the 2nd half of both beer and spices AND added 1t extra of each seed to the first soak. Consistency is perfect.

    Spicy Beer Mustard - trying 3 variations

    A litre?? Goes good with grilled sausages ;) Lots of variations available--your garlic/basil being a good-looking one . Roasted garlic and carmelized onions being another. Storage up to a year in the fridge is a bonus.

    You're a brave man getting lions for brining :D

    Ruined Chicken - Woody Breast Syndrome.

    Apparently not. The WBC disorder is emerging on a global scale and the incidence rate could be up to 50% of a flock. From April 2017 https://atlasofscience.org/the-woody-breast-condition-affects-texture-characteristics-of-both-raw-and-cooked-chicken-breast-meat/

    Thought I'd resurrect this as I needed my recipe again. Any more experiments?

    Mixing Dough With A KitchenAid Mixer

    Interesting note about the brine tank and furnace. Mine is right beside ours as well and when the bag is dumped in, a lot of salt dust rises up. I instinctively put the lid on quickly to contain the dust because it really dries out the nasal passages quick. Looks like I did it for two reasons :D

    First Cook....Good results...one issue

    IMO, although lots "spritz" the meat (albeit infrequently due to heat loss), water in the pan does zip for moisturizing. It's purpose (if used) is to moderate the temps. That's why a lot of us use terra cotta dish instead of water for heat moderation. Less mess, less fuss.

    I was just invited to cater my cousin's son's wedding with 2 other cousins/relatives

    Sausages would give you more "relax" time--no muss no fuss.

    First Cook....Good results...one issue

    1/3 of a chimney way too much IMO. In my 18, I'll go 12 max-usually 10. For you, maybe start with 15-18. You burned through the unlit stuff too fast using so much lit to start with.
