    New Pit barrel cooker

    You PBC should have came with a stand that will put it up off the ground by roughly 3 inches.

    If you could choose one smoker....

    My gravity fed hands down. Space for days, runs forever on a single bag of charcoal, with the fireboard/fan it heats up fast, recovers quickly, and maintains like an over. Price tag hurts, but so worth it. After my GF, I'd probably say the WSM. It's highly modable, has a good amount of space...

    Cooking gloves

    I use a combination of different handling methods. For prep I use nitrile gloves, makes cleanup a breeze and I'm not stopping to rewash if I have to do something else real quick. For handling charcoal, hot grates/racks, hot pans, or wrapped meats I have a pair of welding gloves. For moving...

    Something strange is happening.

    You're gonna have a problem...space. Space is always an issue as you get more toys lol. I actually picked up a 26" Weber Kettle for dirt cheap a couple weeks ago, and I'm not entirely sure where to put it on my porch. I might have to...*sob*...*sniffle* sell one of my other cookers!

    Need a spicy cajun seasoning recommendation

    I'll give a second vote for Slap Your Mama, it's a lot less salty than Tony's. I would also recommend Konriko Chipotle. It's another all purpose that has a nice heat and flavor from the chipotle.

    Advice for a date stamp

    You could always buy blank mailing labels at Walmart and print/stamp/write on them as needed. Little more clean looking than masking tape. If you wanted you could print up a bunch with whatever info, and then leave space to hand write the dates. I know you can find those labels in a variety of...

    Tough meat!

    I have to agree with Bear here. 10 hours on a tougher cut of meat isn't really going to give you results I believe you're looking for. Also, I'm not entirely sure it's scientifically possible to dry out a piece of meat using sous vide unless it was super dehydrated jerky going into the bath...

    Embers Charcoal Deal $6 40LBS

    I'm good with that then. Especially since at this price it's a little less than half the cost of RO when I get it on sale. Guess I'm making a trip to a HD this weekend to stock up for the rest of this year/start of next year. I think I'll spend $100 after taxes. That'll give me 600lbs to have on...

    Embers Charcoal Deal $6 40LBS

    Wow that's a really great price. My only question is, did we determine if Embers was the same product just rebranded from like RO or KBB? I've been using RO pretty exclusively for the last two years and prefer it over KBB because of it's consistency and longevity.

    Reverse flow plate thickness

    Well if the 3/8 is cheaper than the 1/4 I'd say why not? It'll be a little better of a heat sync, probably not much but I'm definitely not an expert.

    Can't get the membrane off of BBR

    I have probably pulled the membrane on two slabs my entire life. I just see no real reason in doing it.

    UDS Air Intake Size

    Bigger is always better. You can always choke the air down with a cap or valve, but with a smaller sized air inlet you can only flow so much air at once eve full bore.

    WSM Hanging Racks

    Outside links aren't allowed, but I did a quick search and found a website named barbecueworld, that offers an expandable smoking rack. For $45 it might be worth a look.

    Chicken Brine Question

    Oh that's cool, so where does one find this? I googled it but all I'm finding is non-food grade. I probably won't have the STPP but I think this weekend I'm going to test out this brine on some thighs to cook next weekend, as well as start brining a pork butt to try and make pulled porkstrami...

    Chicken Brine Question

    Conversions to more precise units, I like it! STPP wasn't mentioned in your original reply to this thread. I'm not familiar with it. What exactly is it, and what does it do for a brine? I'll admit I haven't done much research on brining, but I can't remember seeing it before.

    BLTs on “Mini-Flat-top” (Indoor Grill Accessory)

    Looks great, but I will say that is not nearly enough bacon per sandwich.

    Amazon Flash/Lightning Deal for INKBIRD Bluetooth BBQ Thermometer IBT-4XS

    I have one of these already, and so far it's working great. My question is, if I get a second will the app be able to show all 8 probes if I run both together?

    Chicken Brine Question

    Chicken Brine Question

    So I found @pops6927 thread on brining whole chickens. I've never done any brining, and more often than not I do thighs, but occasionally I do breasts and halves. I like the idea of this brine because I'm currently keto so CARBS-R-BAD! But not having any brining experience I'm curious about the...
