    Newbie Smoked First Pork Shoulders Disappointed!!

    Once you shred the pork, adding some more of your rub always helps boost the flavor if you don’t want to inject.

    The Gift of Grits

    This big question is are they regular or al dente? I joke I joke.. I always get these at my local HEB and they are awesome. https://www.bobsredmill.com/corn-grits-polenta-organic.html

    Needing a 250-500 gallon offset built on trailer. Any idea!?

    You could also contact the fellas out of Onalaska. I don’t remember their company name, but they always have pits on Craigslist for sale and they look decent. https://houston.craigslist.org/for/d/onalaska-bbq-smoker-30x-60w-24x2432vs/6997239952.html

    SV Why are the 'die hards' so afraid of Sous Vide?

    Agreed, it’s another tool in the tool box. My mother has one and we cooked steaks on it once. The meat was tender but we didn’t season it enough I think. Next time around we will probably put it on the Q after, or try a sear in a CI. I think we just need to practice with it just like...

    Is a small propane grill worth it?

    Sorry, I read the OP but missed this.

    Is a small propane grill worth it?

    I’m not sure what your price range is but my coworker has a pellet grill (rec tec) that is just big (or small enough???) enough to cook two racks of ribs on. He has brought it to work and we have made some dang good chicken. He says it will go up to around 500 deg. F so you can definitely get...

    My wife sent me a link to it and said she though it would be a good gift for Father’s Day but we didn’t pull the trigger on it. How are the workbooks and the community?

    Need advice on purchasing a pellet smoker!

    A friend from work got a Rec Tec and it checks all those boxes (depending on size). He really loves it but he got the smaller portable one. I know it will go up to 500 degrees also, I have another buddy and his trager only goes up to 350.

    Maiden voyage with the CI pizza pan

    Is that the one made by Bayou Classic? I have a pizza stone but it is very fragile and I always forget to put cornmeal down. I have used my 10” cast iron skillet but it is a little small (on the plus side, no cornmeal needed!). Something like that might be worth a try.

    DIY PID controller: Beta version

    Very cool. I have a spare SLC 500 with analog in/ out, digital in/ out, and a thermocouple card at work that will never be used because we upgraded to a compact Logix system. I have thought about using it to do something similar for fun.

    Rotisserie Babybacks!! Adam made me do it!!

    If you don’t mind me asking, is your Santa Maria attachment and rotisserie by Gabby’s? Looking around on the web, Gabby’s is the only one I could find that resembles yours.
