Hi Dan, Thanks for your tips and tricks. It really helped. I can’t wait until it’s regular summer weather again. I have a black dog and she ain’t happy with this either, as I have to keep her inside or she will surely get heat stroke just standing outside. It’s not even fun to be in a pool...

Hi folks! Firstly thanks so much for the kind comments and wise words because it really made a difference. True to my moniker, I ended up being unable to sleep so I just decided to start the cook at 4 am and was able to finish before the outside temp hit 90 degrees. I did the higher temp cook...

Honestly I tried beer, wine and everything in between. Even disgusting O Douls gives me a problem (thought taste of it really doesn’t help either 😂). I miss having a nice cocktail sometimes and then I remember my hospital bills and I get over it 😂. Your whiskey sauce sounds wonderful and wish I...

I will have to ask the doctor and also see if my insurance will cover it. Otherwise I’m taking the advice of everyone here and just smoking at a higher temp and getting the heck out of the sun.

would love to see the finished results!

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...

Beautiful state, great steaks, but that altitude is no joke. Was up in Granby and had to go to the hospital. Was on a trip with a group so didn’t have the opportunity to acclimate properly. The trip was a bust but between the steak and the magical grass it was a wonderful time haha. What’s your...

I visit Boonton frequently for my job. It’s changed quite a bit and there have been quite a few new shops on the Main Street, but the parking still sucks! They also have a bbq joint but honestly it’s kind of overpriced and the smoke has this very bitter aftertaste which was off putting. I do...

I appreciate this level of dad joke 😂 To answer your question, unfortunately no. Significant others name starts with an R but their middle name is John so maybe it can work? Hahah thanks for the warm welcome!

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!
