    Foil or butcher paper?

    I have tried butcher paper and it's too much hassle for not that much benefit in my experience.

    Anyone using Inkbird or any other wireless thermometers?

    I purchased my very first wireless in October of 2024 and it was a ThermoPro TempSpike XR. I used it once and when I tried it a second time the base unit was dead. Nothing. No numbers and wouldn't take a charge. Contacted Amazon and they sent me a replacement. The second unit lased about three...

    New to smoking

    When I first started smoking I tried to do to many different things at once. Do some simple smokes at first until you get familiar with the smoker. Smoked brats are pretty tasty and easy to smoke.

    New to smoking

    If you are new to smoking it might be best to use what the manufacturer recommends. If there is a problem with the way your food comes out you won't know if it is because you substituted the pellets.

    Strong coffee

    My coffee went up too supposedly due to tariffs also. Retailers can be rascals and will take any opportunity to raise prices if they can blame the raise on someone besides themselves. I remember when unleaded gas first came it. They quit adding the lead to gasoline and charged more money for it.

    Strong coffee

    Tried the Caribou Coffee, Obsidian Blend dark roast this morning. Not man enough to handle it. Not bitter but just too strong. On the other hand I really like the Caribou Coffee, Caribou blend. I really like it.

    Strong coffee

    The strongest I have tried (and I haven't tried many) is Caribou Coffee, Caribou Blend. It's a medium roast and it's the best flavor I have tried so far. It's pretty strong. Got some Caribou Coffee, Obsidian Blend coming tomorrow. It's a dark roast.

    Strong coffee

    Our Kuerig is only about three weeks old. Purchased when our Cuisinart K-Cup bit the dust after less than a year. I checked out the EZ-CUP but unfortunately our Kuerig requires a filter with (5) holes in the lid and the EZ-CUP only has one hole.

    Strong coffee

    We have a Kuerig K-Cup. Wife really likes the K-Cups. Filter cups for ground coffee are available and that's what I use. I use 6 oz water per filter cup. I am grinding whole bean coffee now which I much prefer.

    Strong coffee

    I quit drinking regular Folgers for a little while because it started tasting bitter to me and it didn't seem to have any flavor going for it other than the bitterness. I have tried a few stronger higher quality coffees since then and am getting much more flavor without the bitterness. I would...

    Strong coffee

    So I retired a while back and after drinking Folgers made in a Mr. Coffee drip coffee maker for 50 years went on a quest for something better. Bought a Kuerig (K-Cups and/or ground coffee.) Big improvement. Wife loves the K-Cups. Been buying whole beans and grinding them at home. Tried a few...
