I’ve heard smoked bluefish fish dip is great. Supposedly best with sub 5lb blues. Of course since learning that I haven’t caught one 🤪- WaterRat

Easter Brisket 2025
That looks about perfect from here, well done! The foil on the ends is something I will be sure to keep in my bag of tricks. -
Short ribs question
When they’re cut like that, as opposed to whole dinos, I’ve found they can dry out a bit on top and the edges. I’d have a mop/spritz/baste on hand to keep them moist if needed. Normally I’d braise them in wine and beef stock the last 2 hrs or so but with that much fat to render I don’t think... -
run away smoker
Can’t help with that particular smoker but generally you don’t want to close the top vent as it can lead to nasty smoke build up. Glad it worked out, and 280 isnt horrible either.- WaterRat

Great Cleaning Pit Boss 850CS
Post smoke, crank it as high as it goes (450-500) and leave it for 20min. Turn it off, grill brush after it cools down. I’ve never need to do much else though once or twice I’ve thrown them on the gas grill to really burn them off.- WaterRat

How Do You Afford This Addiction?
I was going to ask if that was the Cog (Smog ) on Washington. I was backpacking in from the North one time and about to cross the tracks with the train going up and the people on the train were taking pictures of me, lol!- WaterRat

Tried the lollipop thing….
I slide my thumb and forefinger down to the base (may need to make a little room with a knife) then snap it off as far down as possible. I guess a pliers would work though take care not to crush the bone. After removing I check to make sure it’s whole and feel around for splinters if I don’t... -

Be sure to take good care of the splinter bone, don’t want anyone choking on that.
