    Kitchen/poultry sheers&knives

    I wasn't going to tell the brand but HENCKEL is the culprit, my OXO doesn't have a spring and separates to wash.

    Temperature Gauge recommendations

    Are you sure they are not adjustable? is there a nut on the back at the base of the stem? put a wrench on it and turn the outer part.

    Least-Messy Way to Drop Hush Puppies?

    I like my puppy's round, a bag works ok but you get cigar shapes, a ice-cream scoop with the flipper on it works well, give it a swipe in the oil some as you go along so the batter doesn't stick.

    MES40 Tripping GFCI But Previously Didn't

    At 1 time all fridges and freezers stated in the owners manual to not run them on a gfi, you won't believe the little amount of feedback on a ground wire to trip it. Any appliance or tool with some age on it might gain some feedback and never anything dangerous. They set rules for reasons but I...

    Water Filters with Chip

    Amazing the crap that comes in with the water, filter protects the water valves on some of them and not on others, it sure slowed down the water valves replacements when they all come out with them.

    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,
