    Pellet Grill Fires - Grill clean but still get flares

    You have it diagnosed, high heat runs will cause a fire especially with chicken, been there done that. I learned to throw on the gas grill after smoking if crisp skin is wanted, much easier to control it on the gasser.

    Water Filters with Chip

    The ge bypass filter has a volume limit also unless they changed something since November of 23. It wont do anything to peel a label off as it has a serial number , No way would I knowingly buy a unit like that. the good news is most of the water filters today will catch more contaminations than...

    Looking for a simple Homemade BBQ Sauce

    Using those listed ingredients try adding a good amount of Balsamic vinegar, It's often overlooked but is very rich in a sauce.

    Pastrami newbie.. Cold or hot smoke.

    I would do at least a 12-24 hr rinse with a couple water changes before you smoke, son did 1 without a soak, so salty it was trashed. Good luck lot of different ways to go and other than salt I would be good on any method.

    Kitchen/poultry sheers&knives

    I have a high dollar set that are really bad from the get go. Bought a set of OXO only for trimming skin/meat from poultry, about any will bust bones but have trouble with the skin, I don't use the OXO on big bones as it wasn't made for that but it will cruse through rib bones on chicken...

    Masterbuilt MES 40 still good?

    I have had 1 for a long time and suspect it was 1 of the first ones, I have generally been happy with the results, i learned to buy chunks and bust them up small enough to use in the chip holder, I also ran it wide open , honestly has better smoke flavor than my stock pellet smoker,

    After church breakfast…

    I love all biscuits, Frozen Grands are hard to beat, I am better off grilling or frying than trying to make them from scratch. My grandmother made the flattest biscuits I ever ate, tasty but there was no splitting them :emoji_laughing:. she had 13 kids so I suspect a thin 1 was better than none...

    ENABLING my turn

    We have been running a Cuisinart for 8-10 years or so, it makes good toast and a waffle once in awhile, only thing I don't like is the bread sets very low and I will have to lift on the lever to get it high enough to not tear the crust off. No more than what we use it I can't complain, it's a 4...
