    De-mousing a kettle?

    The original grate was very well used and not very well taken care of. It gave me a good excuse to upgrade to a hinged grate.

    De-mousing a kettle?

    They're not very meaty. I'll have catch a bunch of them.

    De-mousing a kettle?

    They were actually so good that I did it on purpose the next weekend for the super bowl.

    Help me pic a cut, please??

    I've never had wagyu, but I'm definitely thinking a more acidic route with a side. Maybe just a tossed salad with a nice vinaigrette or brussels sprouts with a balsamic glaze. No need to get to fancy when you're already working with a meat like this.

    De-mousing a kettle?

    So I acquired a Weber 22" kettle almost 13 years ago. My girlfriend (now wife) had just graduated from college the day before and we were moving her out of her apartment. Her neighbor was also moving out and was about to throw out his grill. I'm a hoarder, so I grabbed it and threw it in the...

    Another Greek Marvel. . .Avgolemono!

    I just told my wife about this post. She responded with a very enthusiastic "SAVE IT!" She is from the Detroit suburbs, where they have a huge Mediterranean population. Authentic food like this just doesn't exist like this where we live. She'll be very thankful.

    Pulled Pork Cheesesteak

    I gotta know. How did the cheesecake turn out? And I'm in Queensbury, between Saratoga and Lake George.

    Advanced griller transitioning to smoking

    Welcome from upstate NY. Any chance that's Orlando area? A former coach/teammate of mine was the original football coach at Freedom HS.

    1st time smoke went bad.

    Sound exactly like a cook I had this fall. I bought 3 picnic roasts to stock up for the winter and it went bad. Still no idea why. Instead of a bark, they had a black shell instead of a bark. And was dry and stringy on the inside. The flavor was ok, but it was mostly inedible. It could...

    Newbie here, q's about popup adds.

    That's exactly what I was thinking when I decided to go with a paid membership. Getting rid of ads was only a bonus. I'm sure I'll go for the whole thing next year. I've been learning so much here that I was starting to feel like a mooch. Still very much a rookie, so I don't have much to add to...

    Pulled Pork Cheesesteak

    🤣 I'm sure someone here has tried this. I hope they're brave enough to step forward and admit it. 🤣

    Newbie here, q's about popup adds.

    It is very annoying. Much more on a phone than on a computer. I finally smartened up and fixed the problem yesterday. Become a premier member and the ads go away. For $15/year, you'll never see an ad again. Not only are you giving back to the forum, but it will pay for itself eventually. You...

    Pulled Pork Cheesesteak

    Thanks. The suffering is over. They were family from out of town and wanted to treat everyone. They're finally going home today. We bought my brother a pellet smoker for his birthday last year. So now there are two people in the family learning how to cook food the way it was meant to be.

    CI Deep Dish Pizza

    That's one pretty pizza. I bet it tasted as good as it looks.

    Pulled Pork Cheesesteak

    The climate is great. Currently -4 with a fresh 8" of snow on the ground. But I don't think I've ever had properly cooked pulled pork until I came to this site and started making it myself. We have a few good barbecue places within driving distance, but I always go for the brisket. And sorry...

    Pulled Pork Cheesesteak

    It was awful! There isn't much of a barbecue culture here in upstate NY, so pulled pork in a crock pot is considered socially acceptable by most. But this was bad. My aunt cooked it in plain water. No seasoning. No other liquid. And then instead of removing it and pulling it on a cutting board...

    Pulled Pork Cheesesteak

    Last weekend, we went to a family gathering and had the worst crock pot pulled pork ever made. I know a crock pot can be acceptable in some situations, but this was bad. So I had to pull a package of the good stuff out of the freezer to remind myself what its supposed to taste like. I've been...

    OT--Why No Processing Sub-Forum?

    Not even just whole animals. Cutting up a store bought subprimal can be intimidating for a lot of people.

    Canned corned beef hash

    I think I've got a can of hash kicking around the pantry somewhere. Now its destined for breakfast sandwiches this weekend. Never even thought about it.
