    Chuck Eye Steak Dry Brine?

    I dry brine (or cure) pretty much everything a few days. Only thing I marinade and do wet is Baker chicken. Whatever you do, do NOT SV something marinaded as it will break down and denature a LOT.

    Burn back using charcoal pellets

    I've had burn back of sorts a few different ways with my Smokefire. For me it's accumulation of dust that gets ignited. A quick blast of compressed air clears it all fast. No need to remove anything either.

    Electric smoker recommendations (maybe open to pellet)

    Before buying a smoker I would first check out Owen Meats jerky mixes. FANTASTIC stuff. If you go down this rabbit hole you will find only a few guys man enough to admit that the dehydrator is better. I consider Hickory Farms elite level and none of their stuff is smoked/use liquid smoke...

    Better Grilled Cheese

    NICE. We rock this pretty much every week during fall/winter. Mayo trick is nice but best is to use better cheese. While my wife worked at our school kitchen she got some stuff to take home at end of year. One of which was gov't cheese. HOLY CRAP. It's 1000x better than Kraft slices. It's...

    300 for Pulled Pork?

    I tried lots of things when I ran a ton of butts for daughters grad party including 325F. Same results but a little faster. Current method is to cut the butt in half. Done in half the time (under 8 hrs) and 2x more bark. No idea why this has not caught on to the masses...

    Christmas Eve Lasagna , salad and sourdough

    I would say using veal is a pretty significant difference. I am pretty much DONE with using GB for things like that. So far using sausage is my go to but need to try ground chicken or turkey. I think ground turkey could get you pretty dang close to veal.

    Compressor issues

    Heads up yes like Steve said inflating a tire with these is doable but not fast like using 150psi. I like it still but say you got a flat car tire. Gonna take 10m and 2 batteries. Bike tire take like 30s. Inflate low pressure car tire is 2-3m. Still beats dragging out the hose etc... Also...

    Compressor issues

    I showed my Dad my cheap Ryobi battery inflator and he was blown away and asked Santa for one. Each line has one I bet. Some have a legit battery powered compressors. https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-ONE-18V-Cordless-High-Pressure-Inflator-Tool-Only-PCL001B/327406129

    Read a title about cold smoking with maple and lighter woods

    That is exactly how it was done back in the day. I did it a few times. You might be surprised with it. I personally was not impressed with it. There is not much info about it but I found cold smoking results MUCH lighter compared to warm smoking. For some reason I expected the opposite.

    Schweinbraten

    Mine is one of few things I think I have perfected. Super easy too just takes time. Take half a pork butt. Rub with: I do not measure and do by eye but would estimate for 4-5lb roast 2-3T dry mustard (yes that much) 2-3tsp salt 1-2tsp WP 1/2tsp your choice of spice like caraway, nutmeg...

    Pellets catching on fire in small smoke house

    My vote is too much air AND too close to heat. I have to admit I actually HATE the mailbox on my MES for a few reasons BUT it does work well. Main thing I liked was no temp drop on pellet refill. If that were me I would try a firebrick under the tray first.

    Lets See Your Garden

    Breeder bud on another forum. Hindu Kush. Out of 12 got 9 plants looking like 6 ladies. One male popped up crazy fast. Super late start and mostly for fun grow. I have friends that started plants on Mother's day and they have beasts like 12' tall.

    Didn't think anyone would notice that quick. :emoji_laughing: Dad mentioned wanting to grow in passing one time since we're legal here now so I surprised him.
