    So let's talk knife sharpening...

    Diamond stones for me. Windex or simple green. A calming routine for me now. If you use a worksharp, dip the blade in water every pass. Finer blades generate more heat. You can damage the temper at the edge. Can be easily sharpened out, just fyi

    Favorite widely available bourbon or whiskey

    A splurge for me, but Elijah Craig barrel proof was very nice. This bottle was like 124, but way, way smoother than Booker

    New Smoke Daddy Vertical 2300

    Hope your smoker and sinuses are treating you well. They now have a double vertical for someone to report on :emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: Way to rich for my blood.

    Jerk Pork Tenderloin

    Another fan of walkers too. I like to make a marinade with Tamari, lime, ginger, garlic and walkers. It is good on everything. And the Walkers Wood Hot, when the first ingredient is habanero ;) they mean hot

    Sous-vide holding a brisket? Does Anyone do it, thoughts?

    I did it. only smoking to 160, then 24 hours at 150. Wasn’t enough time. Next brisket I took to 185 and it came out much better. I have started using it to cook the brisket a day in advance. Got old and would fall asleep at gatherings, ;), getting ready the day of. with the sous vide. It is all...

    Wood Chips with Pellets, anyone tried this?

    Agree on the sheer bolt. The Auger motor is a powerful little beast. I haven’t seen any pics of the LSG auger, but I know it is short. I looked on their site but didn’t see a pic of mechanism. so an update. I saved the power unit / hopper from an old baby traeger that rusted out. I stuffed...

    Wood Chips with Pellets, anyone tried this?

    Welp, fail. Auger jammed and broke the shear bolt ( $1.99 and my labor). Ran for a bit. Looks like it jammed right at the chute entrance. One chip wedged into gap. I followed that video of equal volume. That would probably work out to 2:1 by weight of pellets to chips. of note, the chips are...

    Wood Chips with Pellets, anyone tried this?

    I still get very frustrated by my pellet grill even with smoke trays. Chasing the smoke. I have to admit, that I also find a small offset frustrating as compared to a large one. Huge airflow and mass make a difference. In my younger days I had a trailer mounted offset as well as a large...

    Gravity feed smokers , why cook in pans ?

    For competition, the dripping ruins the color for presentation. Plus they cram so much in a tight spot, no cool zone for grease. No one wants poultry dripping Taste wise, a brisket under pork butts……….

    Offset Smoker / Pellet Combo

    I’ve done it. Just need a good hot firebox On pellets. Was hoping I could have a split for added smoke, but too much airflow and it just burns. Was able to have a pellet tube beneath airflow, but in the end you have an offset with reduced flavor ;). But it can be convenient.

    SV - Brisket, Smokes First, Issues

    My last couple I have done the 150, 155 method. On my next, I am thinking of trying either the 185, 155 method or trying the hotter 172 water bath. I know they keep saying sous vide has to be greater than initial temp, but does it? As an aside (not sides :) ) have a top round the the bath at...
