A two inch thick porkchop
Agree with the 24 hour brine. It can really help the final moisture level. World's your oyster on what to put in the brine. Most likely after the brine I would season with garlic and some pepper, no salt since the brine did that part then on the grill and baste with a bit of Italian dressing...- schlotz

15 year old Generac not running...replace?
David, how old this the electric water heater? If it's more than 15 years maybe worth checking into the possibility to replace it with a gas version?- schlotz

15 year old Generac not running...replace?
Given what I've read, it comes down to finding a different and competent source for maintenance/repair and that appears to be the crux of the problem given your location. Then there is the lingering concern of just how well they could keep a newer generac running for the next 15 years. If there...- schlotz

What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.
No question it's a lot of work not to mention the requirements including land to sustain a herd large enough to provide an acceptable income plus the additional acreage to provide enough hay. There does appear to be a workable niche though, at least in this area. The daughter & husband plus...- schlotz

What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.
Beef prices are definitely continuing to soar and have been for some time. Getting into the business also takes time in order to establish a sustainable supply of ready to market product (approx 30 months old) throughout the year. Gestation period is approx 9.5 months. Don't see anything to...- schlotz

So you want to try smoking your first Pork Butt
It really comes down to preference. I started with this Alton Brown recipe many years ago when I was just starting my smoking experience. Loved the results and as I mentioned, it has never failed to please those the pulled pork has been served to. Additional things can be added to the brine but... -

Maiden brisket voyage has started 🔥
Oops, yeah the probe needs to be in the thickest part of the flat. I basically smoke whole packers and the point just goes along for the ride, that is all attention is based upon the flat and when it probes tender. Another point: if you pull the packer when the flat probes tender, remember to...- schlotz

Maiden brisket voyage has started 🔥
We've all been there. Agree, looks like it need a bit more time. BTW: if over cooked, brisket will fall apart (crumble) when slicing. Your next one will be even better. Don't give up.- schlotz

Anyone Know Anything about Surge Protectors?
Well, a strike can fry a multitude of plugged in equipment including micros, and other appliances. Get them each plugged into an incorrectly spec'd protector and the equipment replacement price tag will jump way into the 4 figure range. Go the inexpensive route if that's your choice. For me the...- schlotz
