    Smoker thermometer 50° F off

    Just another warning about equipment thermometers being inaccurate. I'm smoking two racks of ribs and it's taking six hours. Not too unusual except that at 275° F, I expected 3-4 hours. These are my first ribs on my new smoker so, you know, what do I know, right? It's coming up on 11:00 p.m...

    Nice 2 hours with 83 year-old man

    All of you folks are very kind. Thank you for sharing your own stories. I didn't mean it to come off as an act of mercy but as I thought back on my Saturday afternoon, that pleasant experience struck me as something that's worth sharing. Life comes at you pretty quick. Sometimes a reminder is...

    Nice 2 hours with 83 year-old man

    What was funny was that I had a young lady volunteer with me and as me and the guy got started, it began with just horsing around, gentle teasing and name calling, making fun of each other's screw-ups in life. You know... an adult verbal handshake between men. The young lady gasped a few times...

    Nice 2 hours with 83 year-old man

    Yeah.. I learned his wife died 14 years ago. She made some nice ceramic figurines that light up and everything. For Christmas decorations. Skaters, slender, walking people... a nice pond made out of mirrors. He's just now taking them down and wrapping them carefully before storing away for next...

    Word. That's exactly what I thought coming away from that. Murph

    Nice 2 hours with 83 year-old man

    :emoji_stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye: He only has 20 years on me but it was nice to just shoot the breeze, talking about nothing. What was really nice was to just stand there for a few minutes just looking around and not saying anything until something else came up.

    Who sharpens their knives on whetstones?

    Whoa! What a good idea!! I have one of those around here somewhere. $9-$10 bucks. Man, I gotta find that sucker. Thanks for the idea! Murph

    Nice 2 hours with 83 year-old man

    I was standing in a sunny 50° day collecting signatures for a couple of statewide politicians when up walks a sprightly gent to sign. After a few moments of obligatory teasing over the miserly free coffee and doughnuts, we spent the next couple of hours just chewing over whatever came to us...

    Bosch Dishwasher repairs…UGH!

    Yeah. And it was difficult to get. Nobody seemed to have it or could get it. I hit a Lowes just right. They had a couple but the guy said they'd be gone by the next day.

    The Big W having a sale on pellets

    Whoa! Thanks for the heads up! I've been paying ~$23 bucks at Ace for Weber brand. This should work in a SmokeFire, right? Murph

    Bosch Dishwasher repairs…UGH!

    Darn. And I just bought the mighty, mighty Bosch 800 as a bribe so my wife would let me buy a smoker. Ugh. New dishes, TOO?!? This smoking thing is getting $$$. Murph

    Fermented hot sauce

    Thank you for the reassurance. I hate knowing that fermenting = rotting. :emoji_astonished: I have the Jillmo covers and air locks. They're OK but the cap on the air lock is tough to snap on and off. They also have an inverted "thimble" covering the exhaust tube that doesn't seem trustworthy...

    Whole chicken - Pop's Brine - Only Fire Rotisserie .

    Wait, what? Inject with fruit extract? Never thought of THAT before! Hmmm... Yummy! I thought he was brining in that.

    Overnight pork shoulders

    Hmph. I can accept that. Neat! I came here for jerky recipes and learned about brining for safety's sake during a long dehydration. Thanks for helping me feel better about the long smoke times, TNJAKE! Murph
