    Rib Eye Reverse Sear

    I wanted to thank my son for taking me for my gall bladder surgery and decided to do it with steak. I bought rib eyes at Costco for $8.99/lb.

    New Years Eve Pulled Pork Question

    There will be a lot of food and not much space so I decided against a chaffing pan. I'm not crazy about meat reheated in the microwave so I think I'll boil in the bags then crockpot.

    Thanksgiving Sunday

    Birds came out great. I pulled them at 167 deg F for the bone in and 165 for the boneless. I was surprised the bone in finished first but I put it lower in the chamber than the boneless. Foiled them and wrapped in towels to hold in my cooler for 2-3 hrs before slicing. I preferred the bone in...
