    Maiden brisket voyage has started 🔥

    Oops, yeah the probe needs to be in the thickest part of the flat. I basically smoke whole packers and the point just goes along for the ride, that is all attention is based upon the flat and when it probes tender. Another point: if you pull the packer when the flat probes tender, remember to...

    Maiden brisket voyage has started 🔥

    We've all been there. Agree, looks like it need a bit more time. BTW: if over cooked, brisket will fall apart (crumble) when slicing. Your next one will be even better. Don't give up.

    Anyone Know Anything about Surge Protectors?

    Well, a strike can fry a multitude of plugged in equipment including micros, and other appliances. Get them each plugged into an incorrectly spec'd protector and the equipment replacement price tag will jump way into the 4 figure range. Go the inexpensive route if that's your choice. For me the...

    When we built our last home I made sure we had a whole home surge protector put in at the main box. Mike Holmes recommended Eaton's Whole Home Surge protector...

    I need help choosing smoker

    Ideally, you are looking for what is called thin blue smoke. Obviously the start up will commence with a lot of white but it should settle down to just something barely noticeable, ergo thin and slightly blue.

    Dang civil, you're knocking meals out of the park! Interested in the wine reduction, love the color and betting the taste is killer.

    Can't tell you how many times I've posted and it was only after seeing it I realized I typo'd the heading and had to go back and edit it. But, oh that meal! It had to have been perfect!

    I admire your tenacity and hope the coming part does the job for you. Traeger used to be made in the USA but no longer. Believe they are now made both in China and Vietnam.

    Those baby cabbages....

    To key points, remove the other leaves (I start by cutting off the ends) and don't cook longer than 6m30s. Depending on size I sometimes go a bit less time if they are somewhat smaller.

    Those baby cabbages....

    It might be because of how they were served. Way too many have cooked them to mush. Quite nasty! Outer leaves are more bitter as well. Pull off the darker outer leaves, slice in half, put in a pot of boiling water with chicken bouillon for 6min 30 sec (no more), drain, add 1 tbs of butter and...

    Anyone using Inkbird or any other wireless thermometers?

    Nothing wrong with wired probes. I still have and use a 4 probe Signals unit from Thermoworks. Now if using a rotisserie, it's wireless (RFX) to the rescue.

    Anyone using Inkbird or any other wireless thermometers?

    Maybe a single desenter here but didn't have much luck with the Temp-Spike. One of the two probes failed to charge after only two uses. Oh well, guess it can happen but that ended my dip into less expensive solutions. I'm back with Thermoworks and will stay there. Now using their RFX and could...

    Work Sharp

    I've gone through many types of sharpening systems all in the hope to discover a solution that works for me. Older hands etc.... I did for a while use the WS but without the new addition I just learned about here and for me changing belts was a pain. Having the knives professionally sharpened...
