    Bucket alternative

    You CAN cook with the lid off, but the defeats the purpose of insulation as well as allow for rapid evaporation. I would seal the container as well as possible (without overdoing it). The one I have at work will run 8 to 10 hours and not need a refill. Plus there is little temperature change due...

    Rib Steak On My Mind (Or was it an echo?)

    Terrific cook Bear. I love multi-day recipes like this. Sounds like you could use an elevator in your house. Down here we "Key west lifts" that work on the outside of the house so there is no structural change except the entrances. I've notice almost all your pan shots look like a copper clad...

    Dr. Pepper Brined and Smoked Pork Loin

    Mouth watering job right there! Looks super juicy. Since I've never added soda to anything I've cooked I'm curious to know if it has sweet finish or does it mellow out? Don

    Coffee anyone

    Thanks Dave, It was a one time experiment with a 1/2 pound of grounds.....just because.... I really didn't make an ernest effort into doting on the science of. But now that you bring it up...? I'll try again. Sorry @bradger didn't mean to hijack your post. But you have "stirred" (coffee pun...
