You ever thought a 3D printer could do this? I Had a sit down meeting with these guys last week. This stuff was mind blowing. I'm a food guy and it took me awhile to wrap my head around it. The future is even more scary. Pretty much anything that grows, you will be able to re-scripture and...

Anyone use the ball valve for an air intake verses the stock one? I've noticed that after 3-4 hrs my temps start to drop and only the center of my lump burns were the intake is.

Okay, I can safely say I've done over three hundred Briskets in my life time. I've never done one over 260 degrees. So my neighbor brings me by a big O'l Dragon tongue and a 6 pack of Choss triple IPA(11.2%) with a 100+IBU From Figure 8 brewing. So, I build a nice fire in the back yard with my...

First off, I apologize for the 1/2 @$$ pics. It was only 9 degrees out with a negative wind chill. My phone tapped out after the first pic. They actually came out really moist and juicy. It traps all the drippings in the cup. Fills it about half way. About 20min into the cook I flip the burgers...

Boss was gone for the day so I decided to have a man day while watching some Foosball and neck racing. Started out with a wild hair up my XXX to do a batch of jerky. As always, I broke the batch and don't even know what to with the stuff. Jerky is nemesis! As I was cleaning my Fish tank...

Anyone who compete's know's exactly what I'm feeling! Wanted to try a new flavor/process. I knew I didn't have enough time for the skin to setup, but that would effect the taste. It was a good test run. Chicken itself was super tender. Dam near perfect. Taste was a little too sweet. Not sure...
