    Tower Business. (Danger)

    I hope that's still true. Unfortunately some of the islands do have snakes in them thanks to folks bringing them over and leaving them behind. since they weren't part of the natural habitat ecology they don't fit in well and it can be very disruptive. A lot like the non-native wild pigs. We...

    Tower Business. (Danger)

    Glad no one was hurt, that's a relief. Freaking beautiful animals, just love 'em, they are so perfectly designed. Don't want them near me, tho!!

    Pig Taters

    How did you just know I just smoked a butt a few days ago and was looking for a new ways to eat it?! This will be dinner one day this week. Excellent.

    First Tri-Tip, I'm almost embarrassed

    Thanks. Maybe I've been a little bit too concerned.

    MES 30 Gen1: Replace Control Panel and Heating Element

    since you just put a new parts from Masterbuilt, I think you definitely need to call them and ask them what they're going to do about it. at a minimum I think they should give you an exchange on your control panel so you can try another one to see if there's something wrong with the one they...

    Surf and Turf, Backstrap and Crab Cakes on the Griddle

    Looks great, seems like your fiance is a lucky woman. :) I'm not familiar with venison - what is "backstrap" and do you know why it's called that? I've got a good crab cake recipe (we like it, anyway). :) I haven't made it in quite a while I'm just realizing. Have to dig it out and take a...

    First Tri-Tip, I'm almost embarrassed

    I've used the Stubbs sauce before, as I remember it was pretty good. Never tried his marinade, but maybe I will now. So no issues w/the beef starting to go off w/such a long marinade? I start to feel uneasy when I have meat in the fridge for more than 3-4 days. That sounds like a great...

    First Tri-Tip, I'm almost embarrassed

    Luckily we have leftovers, so those will be cut against the grain and on the bias! :)

    First Tri-Tip, I'm almost embarrassed

    Thanks for the kind comments, all. I'm still kind of amazed this was the first. Thanks for that graphic, very useful. My wife's cuts were partly against the grain, but I had no idea there was a 90 degree turn in this cut, very intersting, and explains why the tenderness of the cuts were not...

    First Tri-Tip, I'm almost embarrassed

    Having lived in SoCal for the last, oh, 45 years in a row, I've eaten a lot of Tri-Tip. I snuck into Costco early a week or so ago to beat the crowds and pick up a few things we were low on, and was wandering down the meat isle when I saw a pile of Tri-Tips on display. I picked up a package of...

    Thanks!! I already misplaced my card w/the instructions, so I needed this info, appreciate it. :) I used the thermometer last night while cooking some italian sausages and it was very fast. I think this is going to be my go-to thermometer for hand-held instant read.

    SMOKING TODAY

    Geeze. If I did that much in six months I'd be proud. :emoji_thumbsup: :emoji_blush::emoji_thumbsup: It's good thing we don't know each others' addresses or there'll be a lot of raiding going on.

    A couple of packages showed up today

    What I got out of that ad is that I really want my own lemur. ;-)

    50% Coupon for Inkbird Waterproof Instant Read Thermometer-$12.50

    @mike243 - Thanks for the info, makes sense that they'd prioritize reading higher temps, hadn't thought about that. Tested w/my coffee today a couple of times and it was 4-5 seconds for the temp to settle. That was only going to 150 the first time, and 130 the second a little later in the...

    Best rub for ribs?

    I use something called Memphis Dust...found it on Amazingribs.com years ago. Family really likes it. I typically put the rub on overnight, and after cooking/smoking, eat w/sauce at the table. Info and recipe from the site below: Yield: Makes about 3 cups. I typically use about 1 tablespoon per...

    50% Coupon for Inkbird Waterproof Instant Read Thermometer-$12.50

    Arrived today. Love that it is chargeable and doesn't use batteries. Haven't had any time to check calibration or try it yet. It does look cool. EDIT: Did a quick check for freezing (usual crushed ice and water slurry), and it read 32.7, so pretty close out of the box. I didn't run the...
