    Beef seasoning for spaghetti

    If you're looking for an Italian sausage taste, season with fennel and/or basil. They both have that sort of licorice flavor that's notable in Italian sausage. Oregano would be ok too.

    Advice for Beef Rub?

    I'd leave a little sugar in the rub to help with the bark, maybe cut yours in half if you find it too sweet, and add a lot of black pepper. Cumin is kind of subjective, so to taste, but I'd probably omit it, and I'd add onion powder. I'd also omit the salt and, instead, dry brine.

    One of our local beer distributers would drop off beer and pop, of course, you had to order a certain amount.

    Low-Carb Vegetable That Goes with Barbecue?

    Did Keto a year or so ago. Broccoli is a staple, green beans are fine, cauliflower is fine too. If you want something a little different, you can mash the cauliflower or mash it mixed with celery root. Carrots are a no go.

    CPAP users

    I've use the Resmed Quatro Air full face for several years after starting with nasal pillows. No complaints. It may be bigger than one might suppose, as I'm a big guy but only need a medium (or I'm just a big guy with a little pointy head).

    School me on why I need cast iron frying pans.

    Beyond just searing steaks, if you're making something like round steak or pork steak in gravy, you can sear the meat, develop some fond and deglaze the pan, which makes real good gravy. Same is true for sauces.

    Haluska

    I was thinking Czech. My grandmother made a dish that was similar, which she called Kapusta. Basically replace the noodles with potatoes, iirc. She would add flour to the bacon grease and cook it to a fairly dark roux. She'd also season with garlic and, I'm pretty sure, caraway. She'd also...

    What Beer Did You Drink in High School?

    Given a choice, I'd drink Stroh's, but also a lot of Miller Lite and Old Mil (aka Old McWally). When broke, we'd get those returnable hard, thick cardboard cases with the long-neck bottles--around $4 + a small deposit--which would usually be Red, White & Blue, Fox DeLuxe, or Rheinlander. And...

    grill smoke alternative

    I've used the Amazn tube on my gasser. Also have used those metal boxes that you put soaked wood chips in and put right down on the burner. Both work good. In fact, I've used both at the same time on a few occasions.

    Where can I buy wood chunks for a decent price?

    Just about any big box store, get most of mine at Meijer. Also, sporting goods stores (Cabelas) often have them

    Charcoal Pellets

    If I want a heavier smoke flavor, I'll throw a couple of chunks of wood on top of them.

    Ground pork rind breading. GF Option.

    We were doing a keto diet about a year ago, and these were a godsend. There's a lot of recipes using them on keto websites.

    Crossbows

    I picked up a Horton crossbow on Ebay after the original company went out of business. It works fine, though I've recently upgraded to a Ten Point. There are plenty out there in your price range. I've heard many times that guns don't kill people, people do. I guess that doesn't work with...

    Weber Charcoal Grill For A Rookie?

    Weber kettle is an excellent choice. They can do just about anything, and because they've been around so long, there are a ton of accessories for them (check out the slow & sear and the vortex) and a lot of online guidance (Youtube, etc.). Regarding deluxe or premium, you just have to decide...

    Just a guess here, untrimmed eye of round?? Not sure they get up to 10 or 11 pounds though.

    Never done that, but I have left a frozen pizza in the oven until the smoke alarm woke me.
