He is now my sous chef when I cook ribs.

Those look great, but I'll stick to full slabs, or as my young grandson described them, "the kind that are all hooked together with the bones still in them".

Welcome, from the Piedmont Triad of NC.

My edc is a 1AA Fenix, an old model (L1D). I've had it for years; I lost it at one point and bought a newer 1AA light (LD10) to replace it, but then found it again. I was then carrying the LD10 until I lost it a month ago, so the old L1D is back in service. My most unusual flashlight is a...

It's supposed to be 71 degrees on Sunday with 3% chance of rain. I'll be cooking a pork butt on the WSM. And there are a couple of racks of baby back ribs that I'll cook soon, depending on when my sous chef (10-year-old grandson) is available.

Having said that, I recently got a chance to evaluate a new and much different smoker controller. I haven't cooked with it yet, but I picked up a pork butt today on sale which I plan to cook on Sunday. It has wifi built in, the controller and fan are in a single unit, and the much smaller...

Very nice! I have two racks of baby backs in the freezer, and now I'm feeling performance anxiety.😬

Can you set the router to assigning a static IP address?

I have been using one of the original Stoker temperature controllers since they first came out. The Stoker, and the stokerlog software I use to control it, are both discontinued relics, but they still work, and let me monitor and control the cook without having to go outside and walk the fifty...

I tried it again today, cooking drumsticks with the Vortex. It's worse than I remember. What I have left will be used for hot dogs and burgers, and I won't buy any more. Tomorrow I'm heading to Academy Sports to stock up on B&B lump. Life is too short to cook on bad charcoal.

1951 calendar. I wonder how much they were charging for a gallon of heating oil back then.

Feel free. I'd offer you a photo of the old, damaged lid but I gave it away years ago.

I'm sure everyone has a favorite Weber customer service story. Here's mine: at least 15 years ago I bought a green 22" kettle from one of those "unclaimed freight" stores. The lid had several places where the porcelain had been badly chipped, but the price was right, so I took it. I called Weber...

I have toyed with the idea of building a Gray-Hoverman antenna, but have not yet done it. https://cosmic.simdif.com/HOVERMAN_TV_ANTENNA.html

My mom had a rotary phone on the kitchen wall up until about five years ago. It was the only phone in the house when I was growing up. We had no phone at all until I was in elementary school. Our first phone number was 6138. Four digits.

Rebuilding a grill? This may come in handy. Or put one in every car. https://www.lowes.com/pd/Kobalt-50-Piece-Standard-SAE-and-Metric-1-4-inch-Drive-Polished-Chrome-Mechanics-Tool-Set-with-Injected-Molded-Case/5015276017

Pepper Stout Beef... it has been on my "to do" list for too long. I think this would be perfect while watching a football game around New Year's Day.

I swear I can almost smell that. Beautiful!

If you have a pair of the Weber charcoal baskets you can approximate the effect of a vortex, which I did several times before buying one.

Mark the handle of the new one in some way so that when you find the old one (and you will) you'll know it's the one you lost, and not the new one you bought. ;)
