    Hearing aids?

    My hearing has been getting very bad for many years. About three years ago I went to an audiologist. Through testing we both agreed that I needed hearing aids. The ones she recommended were a little over 5K. I was to tight (stupid) to spend the money. A couple of years ago the FDA said it was OK...

    Cheapest place to buy smoking wood?

    FruitaWood is a good plan B if things don't work out. I will certainly vouch for their quality.

    Wi-Fi Thermometer Recommendation

    Last year I bought a Thermopro Spike XR. After using it one time the receiver died. Blank screen. Trying to charge didn't help. Amazon sent me a replacement. It lasted two months and the same thing happened. The base unit died. No screen. I called Thermopro and we did some troubleshooting over...

    I have tried several until I got my Thermoworks RFX. Couldn't be happier.

    Easiest way to clean porcelain coated grates?

    Cooking spray left a built up film on my porcelain grates that was harder to get off than the regular cooked on stuff. I quit using it because it was a pain to remove it after it built up on my grates.

    Easiest way to clean porcelain coated grates?

    If the steel in the SOS concerns you try these. The pure copper. I use these if scratching is a concern. Porcelain grates are pretty indestructible. At least the the ones that I have made by Weber are. https://choreboyscrubbers.com/chore-boy-products/copper-scouring-pads/

    Cooking corn on the cob in a vacuum bag

    Sweet corn is coming in now. I read about folks vacuum sealing corn on the cob with butter , freezing it, and later cooking it boiling water while still in the bag. Does anyone do this?

    Masterbuilt 560 tips

    Mine is about 4 years old now. No upgraded parts. It's stored in the garage. The 560 Masterbuilt size is not all that expensive. I'll save my money for a new one when the time comes rather than pay for any upgrades. Some build up in the firebox but it hasn't affected the performance or flavor. I...

    Masterbuilt 560 tips

    The 560's are great for pulled pork because they (mine anyway) holds consistent temperature.

    Pork Butt Method

    I smoke @ 275 to internal temp of 165, foil, and into a 275 oven for an internal temp of 205. It's interesting to see how others do this.

    Hearing aids?

    I'll be 73 next month. 60 years of shooting guns and 50 years working in noisy machine shops have finally taken their toll on my hearing that I needed to address. My first try were some ear buds for 1K I bought a month ago and that was a waste of money. Last week I received a set of over the ear...

    Crispy chicken skin?

    If you crank your smoker up to 700 degrees and wait until the chicken skin starts getting black the skin will definitely be crispy. Then I back the temperature down to 350 degees and smoke until my internal temp thermometer says it's done.

    No sauce

    Not fond of finishing sauces either. For pulled pork a good rub, in the fridge overnight, pull, vacuum seal, and freeze. A tablespoon of coleslaw. If I kill or mask the smoke flavor of the pulled pork I am not happy.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
