    T-Bones n’ fireflies

    OK..................this is starting to sound like an old country song; "T-Bones n' Fireflies, and wild wild women, they'll drive you crazy, they'll drive you insane" :emoji_laughing: :emoji_laughing:

    For a propane smoker the PID uses solenoid valves to control the flow of propane. Here's a thread where OldSmoke discusses it and posted pictures of his propane PID: https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/variable-wifi-bluetooth-propane-regulator.324585/#post-2479479 Propane is not...

    Wiki The User Ladder Explained

    It may not be a sign of skill, but it is a sign of participation, which is important. Participation is the lifeblood of a forum. Skill level gets weeded out based on their input. Most folks can recognize the knowledgeable members. So overall I think it hits the target.

    Hanger Steak, Fresh Corn, Rice-A-Roni

    When I saw the T-Bone steaks on WaterRat’s post I responded that I was going for that tonight. Having said that, my local Safeway offers crud for beef, and being retired and lazy, before heading into the car and driving 10 miles, I thought I’d check the freezer. Did I mention I was lazy? There...

    T-Bones n’ fireflies

    Nice looking steaks! I like your idea. I think tonight is T-bone night. It'll go nicely with the fresh corn we just picked up. Maybe a pilaf to go with it. Now where did I put that box of Rice-A-Roni? :emoji_wink:

    I would like to give a shout out to @JC in GB.

    I'm glad to hear you have you PID issues sorted out, although, if I won first place without my primary weapon, I might toss it and go back to the old-school ways. :emoji_laughing: I have read some of Jeff's posts on PID's and had considered making one for my Smoke Vault propane smoker. I do...

    Thanks……..this is what I was looking for. Can we add this to the place where the acronym definitions are kept so folks can find it in the future?

    Analog gauge vrs digital gauge ?

    The analog on the Smoke Vault I have consistently reads 30 degrees higher. It was worse when it arrived and they sent a new analog. I ignore the analog altogether now. I have a digital probe mounted under the rack where the meat is. If I'm going low and slow I set the alarm range between 210...

    Smoker Chimney height

    So what are the thoughts on better managing a consistent temperature inside the chamber......lower flame and lower airflow.......or.......higher flame and higher airflow?

    Smoker Chimney height

    This is an interesting subject. I asked a similar question awhile back and did not receive a lot of feedback. Perhaps because few people are nerdy enough to get into air flow. I also agree with the premise made in the video that a properly maintained fire will make up for deficiencies in the...

    Hot Dogs: Side by side comparison

    Nice............I don't think either one is available on the west coast. The Hoffman's look like a white sausage. Are they along the style of a banger?

    Breakfast sausage rolls

    Those look like they would be addictive. Reminds me of the Lays potato chip commercial where they said "I bet you can't eat just one". :emoji_laughing: Now you have me wanting to make them, albeit with a lot less sausage. Note to self; need to research breakfast sausage spice mixes. 💬

    Brisket point end and Baby backs .

    What an amazing meal. The brisket looks fantastic. Nice and moist. We have also been on a corn binge, while it's fresh and in season. We are fortunate to have a seasonal vendor who brings their corn to the farmers market. It's $1.75 and ear vs. 3 for $1 at Safeway, but it's great corn, freshly...

    4th of July tri tip

    Great looking tri-tip. I have been itching to do a tri-tip, but they are $12 pound at Safeway, and closer to $17 a pound at the stores with a butcher. But it's your birthday......splurge.............Happy B'day.

    Ribeye Hamburgers??? Finally tried 'em!

    I to tend to stay away from preformed patties. Now you have me thinking. I may need to check out the meat section at the local Safeway to see if they carry them. Thanks for the insight.

    Fourth of July Baby Back Ribs

    After reading another thread by duffman on smoking ribs today I thought I’d join the party. Normally I stick to salt and pepper, but after reading so many threads where folks used SPOG, I thought I’d give it a try. Grilled some zucchini, and roasted potatoes in foil on the grill. Dinner...

    Independence Day Ribs

    I do not sauce the ribs. Salt and pepper and onto the smoker. I believe this is referred to as Texas style rub. It’s my goto for pretty much everything I put on the smoker or the grill. It lets the meat shine through. I eat my ribs “naked”, meaning no sauce. The wife likes to have some sauce...
