    Weather Today

    In a word YUUUUKKKKKOOOOOO. Snowing like mad, and feels like it is also raining and icing over. I've already used my new Toro 60V snow blower more today than I did all last year! Thankfully I also have grandson here doing the "trim" work (patio and deck) since I may have to cook some steaks...

    Pizza idea hatched from pizza oven use

    So in using the new pizza oven about 3X now and will again tonight, I had a a sort of lightbulb go off in my head. I have that big Wolf which puts out a fierce amount of heat from below and above if you place the IR burner in use. So my brainstorm: (maybe chime in and share thoughts here?). I...

    Funny thing with 2 Baratza Encore grinders

    So, I came across a couple Baratza Encore grinders listed as "for parts not working". I managed to grab them for $30 ea. So I started work on the first one late this AM. Come to find out the person had purchased it brand new only in September of this year. Showed a video of how it just won't...

    OK I forgot where I responded so info on a a manifold

    I'd responded to someone (cannot find the post) I would look in my back garage today for an old manifold I though I might have. Very sorry, I don't have them anymore. Not sure if I discarded them or gave away

    Interesting new gadget to my coffee arsenal

    So, I was perusing Amazon and discovered a new product for storing coffee in. Ever the "issue" if you're buying in larger quantities (think Costco, Sam's, etc) Anyway keeping things fresh is an ongoing battle. I looked into and actually bought an air displacement type canister. Works fairly...

    Not sure where to stick this

    So at Costco today and noticed something quite different. Never saw before. Anyway these make for good relatively cheap but good steak for the grill.

    Re Ninja Woodfire issues I reported on

    So a while back I think it was Jon I responded to re my Ninja giving me some "issues" with the pellet side of things. Sorry for the late response and also I cannot find where I'd made that actual response. So I am simply posting an update. On a whim I went to Harbor Freight (not important as to...

    What a score today!

    So, I know it's not a gas grill or a Weber product but I've been kind of eyeing these things and this company makes quality products (Solo Stove). Anyway guy even threw in the cover and the thing is all basically brand new. He literally fired it up once but then ended up not using it again. Solo...

    Three High end coffee grinders

    I think I am lovin' all my grinders. My two Baratzas and my new Fellow Ode gen 2 but all for different reasons. I know I am a little obsessive and weird but since I don't drink alcohol much at all anymore (though tonight thanks to a WONDERFUL gift from God and my urologist) I am enjoying a...

    Modding my Baratza Forte grinders

    Yeah, OK I know I am a little on the "nutty" side. I just got the Fellow Ode gen 2 and I also have 2 Baratza Forte grinders (an AP ceramic burr, and BG Steel Burrs). Over the years Baratza "modernized" them with an updated control panel (which both of mine had bad touch screens so they got new...

    Smokehouse Pellets

    I am officially done with Smokehouse pellets. I had bought them at Sam's and Menards so I cannot blame the retailer for the poor quality. So tired of the little "fines", constantly needing to clean out the auger, sift out the fines and the useless little tiny pieces. Early this PM was the last...

    Another bout with Big C

    Fellow Ode Gen 2

    Just wondering if anyone has one of these. Thoughts on it? Fellow tech support has been working through some of the "challenges" I am having with my Fellow Aiden Brewer. One thing they've been centering on is perhaps because my coffee grinder (even though very high end commercially rated...

    Tried a new Bear Mountain blend

    So last night I did some sliced pork shoulder (i.e. "country boneless ribs at Costco) on Members Mark (I felt it was getting lonely and I wanted to give the new igniter rod a run. While I was at Menards earlier I saw a new blend from Bear Mountain and also what appears to be improved product as...
