    The Biggest Mess?

    While the chili was cooking I also threw on a piece of pork loin I had been curing for 2 weeks for Canadian bacon. It just hit 145°. I was going to make this in my MES with the AMNPS but that was a casualty in the oil disaster. So I threw it on the kettle with chili. Smells great, sliced...

    The Biggest Mess?

    I am really leery of ever frying in this pot again. If this was hot oil, I'd be getting skin grafts, if I wasn't dead, and the house would have probably burned down. I have hated this handle design since I bought this Dutch oven years ago. I usually know better and make sure it's hooked. I...

    The Biggest Mess?

    Damn that had to be a mess! Misery loves company, I'm glad you got things cleaned up. The kitty litter seems to be working pretty well sucking up the oil. Hopefully I can get going with some Dawn and get this debacle behind me.

    The Biggest Mess?

    Beef and beans! 3# ground 93/7 and about 2# of cubed up London broil. Poblanos, bell peppers, a few jalapenoes, onions, garlic, spices, etc.... Smells great, been cooking on the Weber with cherry wood for about 3 hours. It's making the heartache of cleaning up the Exxon Valdez disaster in my...

    The Biggest Mess?

    What is the biggest mess you've ever made while cooking? I've outdone myself today. Was getting ready to make some chili and needed my big Dutch oven to hang over the fire. Last weekend I was frying wings in it so it had about 2+ gallons of oil in it yet. I picked up not realizing the handle...

    Cellaring your beer stash

    What does everyone have tucked away in their beer fridge crisper drawer for a rainy day? I just picked up a 2018 Founders Curmudgeon's Better Half that my local bottle shop has a barrel of that they aged since August of last year. My only comments are... Wow! This is incredibly smooth...

    Friday Night Simple Meal & Semi-Big Beers

    I wish I had some hot peppers. It's feast or famine around here. Two years ago I so many hot peppers I didn't know what to do. The last two years it's been nothing. Too wet and everything rots before it ripens.

    Friday Night Simple Meal & Semi-Big Beers

    I do have to confess, whenever we go to Philly for the Eagles-Phils-Flyers we always goto Pat's after the game and I definitely get one "wit" (with Cheese Whiz for the uninitiated). Guilty pleasure!

    How To Grow Great Tomato Plants (Without Soil) Re-Do

    I like that idea with the remesh and rebar. Have to remember that for next year. Every year I have at least one plant blow out the cage and fall over.

    Friday Night Simple Meal & Semi-Big Beers

    So the wife just dropped this present on me... A Solo Stove. A smokeless fire. Anyone use one? It's an interesting concept. They claim it's new technology but my old coal stove does the same thing, pump the gases from combustion back under the fire and re-burn them to clear any impurities...

    Friday Night Simple Meal & Semi-Big Beers

    Nothing better than a simple meal and cold drinks after a long day at work. Tonight it's cheesesteaks and "Semi-Big beers" (8-9% abv). Fired up some lump in the kettle and got to grilling up some peppers and onions in the Weber Wok. I'm really liking this grilling system! While they're...

    Favorite beer while smoking and/or eating BBQ?

    I'm always looking for new UnTapped contacts. Feel free to add me: TimmysTallTaleTavern I love drinking/talking beer and now that PA has finally relaxed its archaic bottle shop laws, I've been able to get some really great stuff. Also, there are tons on microbreweries popping up around me...
