    Fig Wood

    Forgot to update. It imparts a flavor that is difficult to describe, but very tasty. It's a sweeter smoke flavor, and is almost a little cinnamony. Highly recommend to anyone that can get their hands on some. I'd say it's good for anything you'd smoke with a fruit wood, I don't think it'd be...

    Masterbuilt MPS 230S

    I wasn't sure if that one would work. I pulled the 10psi regulator off last night. I'll remove the hose from the bottom of my MPS, screw it into the needle valve that previously had the BC regulator, then screw the stainless hose into the smoker. To keep the valve off the ground I'll wrap the...

    Masterbuilt MPS 230S

    Well... that's unfortunate... Any recommendations for a needle valve? All I can find online is compression fit needle valves, but it seems like I'd need a flared one. I wonder if I can swap the regulator from the MB hose to the BC hose. Hmmmm... I'll have to see when it comes in today.

    Got it to work, I threw a random space in there but it still links to the correct space. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0009JXYSM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc= 1

    Masterbuilt MPS 230S

    I bought an aluminum sheet pan which is working fantastic for keeping the chunks from catching fire. I wrap it with foil before use so it is easy to clean up. I just ordered a new regulator with a stainless braided hose that has a needle valve built in as I wasn't having much luck finding one...

    Fig Wood

    Finally grabbed some chicken breast. Got two in the smoker now. The one on the right has salt, pepper, and garlic powder, the one on the left has salt and “Chupacabra” seasoning that I found at HEB. Fig wood chunks are on the pan above the fire smoking away. My inkbird smoker probe doesn’t seem...

    That's not a Cutting Board. THIS is a Cutting Board... How about you?

    Haha. My kitchen doesn't have space for that many. :emoji_laughing: I've got a tiny kitchen that resembles a hallway more than a proper kitchen, for now at least. Once I'm done with it it will be a lot more open and have more cabinet/counter space. :emoji_sunglasses: That'll be the biggest...

    That's not a Cutting Board. THIS is a Cutting Board... How about you?

    That thing is awesome! I've primarily got some cheap bamboo ones, I've got a "bowl" one for use with an ulu knife that I got from Alaska, and one 24x18 cheaper wood one that is nothing special. I've been wanting to make a cutting board though!

    Dry aged steaks.....

    That's pretty funny then. Lol. I will definitely make sure to do that when I get to it. I'm planning to get stuff for steak and dry cured meats.

    Dry aged steaks.....

    Awesome! I had seen on Youtube "Guga Foods" uses the UMAi bags for dry aging, but he also has a dedicated meat fridge so a smell wouldn't be an issue for him. I couldn't find anywhere online that would say one way or the other, that was my holdup. I've got my normal fridge, and a beer fridge in...

    Looks great! What dry age bags do you use? Do you get a weird smell in your fridge?

    I started thinking about the heat and meant to ask about crashing on the floor. Haha. I'll bring a twin air mattress and bedding. Thanks so much Robert! Can't wait to meet everyone Saturday morning! I'm planning to get there in time to snag some breakfast.

    No sir, no smoker space needed. I'll need a burner somewhere though for cheese sauce for the mac and cheese though. It does not look like I'll be able to get cornhole done though unfortunately.
