    Poor man's Vortex - Ribeyes

    Any tips on best way to cut out the bottom? It'd look like a beaver knawed it out, but I'll probably try a angle grinder.

    Poor man's Vortex - Ribeyes

    Thanks for the measurements. Very helpful. The bricks are much more robust. These 4 have been used in several applications, dropped, gotten wet. Still solid. Only key is if they get wet, they have to be DRY before using again

    Poor man's Vortex - Ribeyes

    Thanks for all the kind comments! Neat idea with the bowl. I need a stainless disk to make something for my wife, so I could get a Vortex and a happy wife at the same time! That would be $11 well spent!

    Poor man's Vortex - Ribeyes

    Hadn't bought a grill /smoker accessory in over a year, so had an itch. Was at Walmart for "after Christmas" sales to replace some lights and happened to see a Vortex for almost half off. Snagged it. But after we left realized the total was higher than expected. It rang up full price... So...

    Is my brisket safe?

    Are you positive the smoker was still at temperature when you wrapped? If so, your wrap created a pasteurized environment, and it want below 140 for much more than 4 hours, and you are going to cook the snot out of it (from a safety perspective). Personally I'd eat it, but I do have a high risk...

    Dirty dozen /clean 15..

    We got the affected carrots from Costco and had been letting our 6 month old use them as teething toys (in addition to our other kids eating then raw constantly). Got the call from Costco after about 5 days of that... Thanks to God, so far so good here.

    Seasoning Cast Iron - So it doesn't stink up the house

    I hadn't tried the grill, I should do that. I use grape seed oil, smoke point is above the polymerization temp. I do it at 400. You can smell it, but it's pretty faint and no smoke.

    Dirty dozen /clean 15..

    Totally with you. But even buying organic isn't a sure win. If I buy organic kale at the store, there isn't but 1 or 2 bug bites in the bunch. If I grow it in the garden, there isn't a leaf WITHOUT a bug bite. There are pesticides allowed in organic farming too! We try to eat a variety of...

    Food Grade Buckets

    They are a bit expensive, but for anything you use regularly, look into Gamma Seal lids if you haven't already. They seal well and are SOOOO much easier to open (especially for your wife).

    Plans changed. Stacked then in a tray, basted with butter and sprinkled with rough chopped parsley, sage, oregano, garlic and fennel.

    Help cutting/cooking pork steaks

    For a late start so they are on the gas grill. My wife is making lasagna, so decided to go " "Italian" with them. Salt and pepper for the sear. Going to start basting with Italian herb butter. Cutting went just like @thirdeye described. Thanks! Took 3 steaks from each butt. Rest cubes for...

    Help cutting/cooking pork steaks

    Thanks for all the info! I think I'll go the traditional cut. Send like there is a lot of variability in cooking approach. Seems like you can't really go wrong... But I bet I can. 🤠

    Help cutting/cooking pork steaks

    I have 2 boneless pork butts defrosting. I want to do 3/4" -1" thick pork steaks. Planning to smoke at 300 for around 2 hours. In not sure how to cut the steaks though. In this picture (not mine, borrowed from the interwebs), should my cuts be horizontal, or vertical? Also what probe feel or...

    One for the hot pepper pro's

    We cut down the whole plant before first frost and hang then upside down inside. They will continue to ripen for a few weeks.

    Diy pellet conversions

    Thanks for sharing your experience. Yeah, I'd probably never run it higher than 325. I have too many grills to want to try to use it as a grill.

    What am i doing wrong with seasoning this pan?!?

    What are you cooking on it? Are you oiling after every use/clean? I like grape seed oil. Doesn't smoke when you season and fiend a pretty strong bond. I typically do 400 for 30 minutes, turn the oven off and leave till cool.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
