Love a good sous vide and it would remove some of the logistics. Thank you for your suggestion!

Thank you! I’m gonna have to dig out the umbrella from the shed. Wish me luck!

It’s the asthma, high blood pressure (genetic unfortunately), and a heart issue I have that makes me suffer from this kind of heat. I also get heat trigger body hives which is as uncomfortable as you can imagine. Yeah I’m gonna go for a higher temp smoke and GTFO of the heat. I also mentioned...

Unfortunately I have tested “zero proof” alcohol in a doctor’s office and still needed to be treated for body hives, difficulty of breathing, and heart arrhythmia. Believe me I’ve tried. I’ve tried 43 different types of alcohol including beers and wine and every time it was an issue. Also that...

Yum! Beef is the last frontier for me for smoking. I’ve done sausages, chicken, and pork. I just do ribs since they’re cheap and easy haha

Hi Dan! I don’t go higher than 210 for the 3-2-1, but I am extremely tempted to smoke at a higher temp this time around to get out of the heat as fast as possible. Most likely starting late afternoon to early evening because I also suck at getting up early since I am clearly an insomniac (it’s...

I don’t blame you for fleeing bc the taxes alone are terrifying enough. Where were you in NJ?

Hi former NJ resident! I live in Essex County, probably 30 minutes from NYC.

Thank you so much!

A state I would love to visit but never had the chance. What’s your go-to smoked meat?

Hi Dan! Thanks for the wonderful greeting and I’m glad I’m not the only insomniac in the group! Look forward to being part of the community!
