    0-400 Wings

    It took me a while to get the crispy wings both my wife and I like. Seems like brining would be working against that.

    ThermoPro TempSpike XR after one week.

    Used it for baking potatoes a couple of times, smoked thighs last night, and baked a pork loin with sauerkraut in cast iron Dutch Oven tonight. Pros: Probe temps matches my Thermapen almost exactly. The probe signal can penetrate a cast iron Dutch Oven with the lid on, inside an oven, and...

    My Foodsaver went kaput

    That's a good price for a chamber sealer.

    possible replacement for MES 30 .

    I use my Masterbuilt 860 for 1-2 hour cooks all the time. If charcoal management becomes a problem for me I'll use an oven instead.

    0-400 Wings

    When I do wings except I go 350 degrees. I preheat the smoker first.

    possible replacement for MES 30 .

    I went from a MES 30 to a Masterbuilt 860. It was the right decision for me

    Thinking about buying a Meater

    Replacement TempsPike XR was delivered today and tried it out on a couple of baked potatoes tonight. Works perfectly. I like the way it's set up. For some reason phone apps don't work well where we live and this is exactly what I was hoping for. Alarms are loud and it seems to be easier (for me)...

    What am i doing wrong with seasoning this pan?!?

    Years ago I tried to get back into cast iron pans. I got so aggravated with the seasoning and special cleaning it was more trouble than it was worth and I gave the skillet away. Bout five years ago I bought another Lodge skillet and a Lodge Dutch oven. The only seasoning they get is from what's...

    Butterflying a pork butt.

    Getting ready to do a couple of butts to vacuum seal and freeze. Was looking around and came across some articles about butterflying pork butts and was wondering if anyone had tried this.

    Thinking about buying a Meater

    Amazon is pretty easy to deal with as far as returns go. I had it out of the box again today to see if the bad probe was working and now neither probe works. Both are dead. Things happen.

    Thinking about buying a Meater

    The ThermoPro TempSpike XR came today. I like everything about it and it's a nice unit. I made some loaded potato skins tonight and decided to test it. Unfortunately (1) of the (2) probes quit working after thirty minutes. No amount of resetting or re-syncing will get it to work. The other probe...

    What am i doing wrong with seasoning this pan?!?

    An off the shelf Lodge works without smoothing. It's the seasoning and care of cleaning in order not to remove the seasoning that makes them non-stick.

    What am i doing wrong with seasoning this pan?!?

    Cooking will season it. I have tried using Crisbee to season but found cooking over time seasoned it just as well. No mine doesn't look like a finely polished race car but does the job and is easy to clean. I found that cleaning it wrong made it very difficult to clean the next time I used it.

    Chicken searing temp

    I have been searing chicken at 700 degrees then backing the heat down to 400 degrees to cook to temp. Nice char on the skin that we like. 700 degrees is death on temperature probes (except Masterbuilts). What's the lowest temp I can go and still get a good sear?

    Thinking about buying a Meater

    Watched some Youtube and read some reviews and ordered the ThermoPro Tempspike tonight. Looks like a nice setup. Appreciate the good advice I was given here.

    Thinking about buying a Meater

    If it's anywhere close in quality to my ThermoPen it should be good to go!
