    How easily should pellets burn in AMNPS?

    I had issues until I started lighting from the bottom instead of the end/side.  I even tried drying the pellets in the oven because I thought they had too much moisture and that didn't work.  I also remove the chip loader.

    Steak Preferences

    I only eat rib eye.  I have it once a week.  I can't recall the last time I had any other cut.  Only salt and pepper for me then on the grill cooked to a nice medium rare, rare if I am the only one eating.

    Food processor recommendation

    Whatever you get I suggest you go big.  I have a 16 cup and I love the size.  I don't use it much but when I do the size is great.  I can't recommend mine simply because I don't use it enough.

    Brisket for a wedding - Pull or Slice?

    I didn't know people pulled brisket.  If I want pulled beef I go with a chuck roast.  I am partial to the bone-in.  I'll have to try the brisket and chuck together to compare.

    List All The WSM Modifications/Accessories Available?

    I don't see the point in the mods except for the water pan and extra grate.  I have a guru but don't use it much.  On my 18" I do have holes for probes but not on my 22.  Casters are pointless for me so latches are as well.  To me the upgraded door is silly.  I have one that I didn't like...

    MES 40" w/Bluetooth Questions

    I would do ribs/butt, brisket, then chicken (starting from the top).  You should always have the chicken at the bottom.   In my opinion, the brisket and ribs are interchangeable and your placement will depend on the rubs you are using.  For instance,  you probably wouldn't want your pork rub to...

    Restoring cast iron pans

    This is what the anodes looked like after I removed the pan from the bucket.

    Restoring cast iron pans

    One reason it is getting hard to find is that it is used in drug manufacturing, meth I believe.  I grew up with an out house.  That was not fun.  We used it until the township forced us to install a septic.  They also outlawed cisterns although we continued to use it.

    Restoring cast iron pans

    Yeah, that's a common way to go, but it won't remove the rust so you would need a second step, usually vinegar.  I like to go chemical free as much as possible.  Some people use lye to remove or loosen the crud then electrolysis to remove the rust.  Lye can be dangerous but you can reuse the...

    Restoring cast iron pans

    I use chain mail several times a week.  You shouldn't have issues with it hurting your cast iron seasoning.  I don't know about carbon steel, but I still use it on them.  In fact, I just did this morning.  Usually, with my CS pans, I just simmer water or use a good stiff brush to get stuff off...

    Restoring cast iron pans

    They do and some swear by it.  Maybe it is too temperamental and needs to be treated right during the seasoning process.  I used to reseason a lot but now I just cook on them.  I make sure to rotate pans so they all get used and don't sit to rust.  People overthink the care and use of carbon...

    Restoring cast iron pans

    I'm not t I simply heated it so the pores opened.  I smoke the pan on the stovetop before placing it in the oven.  This time I did not because I will work on the seasoning later.  At this point, the goal is to keep it from rusting.  Flaxseed is hokey to me.  I tried using it and it just flakes...

    Restoring cast iron pans

    At this point, I dried the pan, spread vegetable oil on it, heated so Crisco would melt, put Crisco on the pan (all surfaces and in the hole of the handle, and heated it for two hours at 350.  After the picture was taken I put another layer of Crisco on and put it back in the oven with the oven...
