    Long Weekend Eh?

    I have been wanting to discover Middle Eastern techniques. I also like Spaniards style. So I was at the store staring at the meat selections and chose a Chuck Roast. It has been in the seus vide bath for 18 hours and I plan to remove it later today, chill it, cube it up and place it on skewers...

    Who here has a Char-Griller AKORN Auto Kamado?

    I was unable to use any of the other smokers I had bought. Fire too hot, fire too cold stuff. Bought an Akorn at Lowes for $300 and it has lasted me ten years. I keep it out of the rain of course as if it gets wet it will have issues eventually. It’s metal not ceramic. The grate is 19 3/4” in...

    Last prime rib.

    That looks very nice. My boss cooked one, and the put the leftovers on a meat slicer. Then I used that to make steak some Philly steak and cheese sandwiches. They were to die for.

    Chimney Starters?

    I am kind of impatient. When I go to light mine I set it atop a propane burner and it gets started very quickly. Then allow to finish on the ground. I also use a torch to light charcoal in my komado grill. They make a nice sear, too.

    Chain Bbq restaurants.

    Sonny’s……..Nicknamed by the locals as Scummys. It is easy enough to make good BBQ. Still they fail. About a dozen restaurants near me and I always drive right past. Mr Tillman sold his business and now it is just that. A business. Near Gainesville there is a has station that has excellent BBQ...

    Pit Boss Sierra Griddle

    IT’S OVER Last night I received an email notice that Walmart.com gave me the refund. Yup, it took them a month to decide that I deserved to get my money back. A month.

    Pit Boss Sierra Griddle

    UPDATE. July 2nd Been a month since I paid Walmart.com for that Pit Boss griddle, and still no word as to when a refund will be issued, if at all. I suspect they are waiting for Pit Boss to examine the griddle and report back to them. The pictures I sent of the carton must not have been enough...

    Charbroiler

    Well my boss installed a new hose, which is fatter, and a new larger regulator. The grill now works like it was designed to work. Big flamage. Yesterday he borrowed it to do a cook for some folks that wanted to eat steaks. He was able to managed a dozen nice ribeyes at a time and they looked to...

    Pit Boss Sierra Griddle

    We are coming up on the three week mark and still no mention of a refund. I have surmised the reason for the really bad attitude Walmart has displayed. This was an item they never actually possessed. They simply sold it to me, then told Pit Boss to ship it. That was why when it arrived...

    Lipstick on a pig (cow) my first sous vide experience.

    I get good results and so should you. I would try to wrap towels around that pot. Place some plastic wrap over the top, too. Longer cooks can go inside coolers with minimal modification. Try to keep the water the same temperature by insulating. Sometimes a rib eye can be a tough rib eye from...

    Charbroiler

    My boss is very experienced with propane cookers and told me to bring it in and let him fiddle with it. Could be regulator. Could be wrong sized orifice for propane. He agrees that there is an air gas issue. I want the Blue Flame O Hades coming out of them burners. I’ll worry about paying for...

    Pit Boss Sierra Griddle

    Thank all of you. FedEx came and somehow scooped the entire mess up and took it with them this morning. Again no correspondence with me about it. I suspect PayPal got involved and got them to initiate a return. Walmart refused to do that, so someone nudged them. Two weeks and still no word...
