    BBQ Spots Shutting Down

    In the true old-timey BBQ tradition of burning wood for coal and shoveling it into a pit to sustain a 20-24 hour BBQ...I can see why few folks would work so hard for such small margins (difficult to insure a business based on flames for flavor too).

    Traeger 075 Grill Thermal Survey

    Smoke #2 Tri-Tip

    I smoke/BBQ tri-tip at 240-250F to an internal temp (IT) of 140-145F for slicing. What was the IT on your tri-tip?

    Ingredient/parts storage

    Earlier this year we bought a nice high-end spa off Craigslist which ended up including a gazebo, slate outdoor dinner table/chairs, BBQ-grill island and all of those chemicals.

    Ingredient/parts storage

    My wife just asked me "you should put that BBQ stuff out in the garage in the shed." So, I put up another shelf. I might have a thing for shelves.

    Ingredient/parts storage

    Very cool. I sure would like to have a dedicated space in the house just for BBQ. Not long ago, my wife surprised me with another grill (this one is a Traeger) and I had to put up another shed to house all of the goodies:

    Traeger 075 Grill Thermal Survey

    I got bored while BBQ'n some chuckies...so here's a "thermal survey" of my Traeger 075 grill (a surprise gift from my wife...especially so when considering that I have an FEC100): Temp probes (I bought 30-each for $20 and found 12 that were within <2% tollerance): Note: T-6 is in in the...
