    Question on Stand Mixers

    Sounds like you have the Professional 600 like myself... I like that one far better than the Artisan tilt head. Though both are great. I used to be a sous chef for a Kitchen Aid "Experience" shop in Atlanta. We used to bring high end retail sales people there and demo Kitchen Aid family of...

    Question on Stand Mixers

    I couldnt live with out my KA 600... The amount of bread I make alone would have other mixers replaced many times over. This was a gift to me in 2009... It is 9 years old and I have never had one problem and use it AT LEAST once a week.

    Yet another quick question.

    I concur with the two previous posts... Remember pork loin is lean, be careful not to dry it out. I like to brine my loins mostly.

    Reapers new to me

    These are the seeds I mentioned. I am starting 3 or 4 of each of these this weekend. How is the heat on your Reapers? I have some dried one's I bought that are insane.

    Questions - New to Spare Ribs

    I personally go 225* until done. Testing using the bend test as well and visually when the pull back is nice. I have found sometimes the ribs do not show pull back as much but still pass the bend test.

    Congrats on the new addition... Even with my OKJ RF OS, I still want a big Weber Kettle.

    Pit Controller Battery

    Nice! You finally got it. They sell a batter for $15 on their website. But I imagine any large capacity battery could work from any of the big box electronic stores. I prefer to keep my set up plugged in at the FireBoard Control Cable. This keeps the fan running without worry, and keep the FB...

    Sorry for the delay guys! I meant to get these recipes posted no later than Saturday; but, I have been moving into my new place. I am sure most (if not, all) of you know this, but ill say it just in case. The order in which the ingredients are listed are how they should go into the bowl...

    To All the Breads I Loved Before = Focaccia...

    Thanks @Bearcarver! It does make a pretty good pizza dough. Just cut the portion in half and roll it to your desired thickness. Thanks @GATOR240!

    What my lady did with her portion she took to work today... Split it in half and placed some of my Jamaican Jerk Beer Can Chix on it... though Im not sure of the flavor profile with the Olive Oil and Balsamic.

    To All the Breads I Loved Before = Focaccia...

    Thank you @oldsmokerdude! If you would like, I could give you one or both of the recipes I use. This one came almost directly from an old culinary text book I have from 2009, the other recipe is from a chef I once worked for. You can compare the two to the one you use. Let me know... X

    To All the Breads I Loved Before = Focaccia...

    A fairly simple bread... That I enjoy making because of the boundless things that can be done to it. I love to make it and use it for sandwiches. Last night's Focaccia I topped with olive oil, garlic, rosemary, kalamata olives, sun-dried tomatoes, and feta cheese. (All from the farmers market)...

    Not in this group, but....

    It was funny, and my lady does a ton to help when I am on the smoking or at the stove. But I do most everything up until preparing the table. Bless her heart, and I am the luckiest man in the world, as she doesnt want me doing any clean up around the house. She loves cleaning and does it...
