    Wireless WiFi Cams

    I use the Ring camera - Much like everyone else - Solar option, settable private zones to prevent false triggers, but I like it also merges with the smart setup in the house so I can get alerts and talk with people through the cameras via tablet or other devices throughout the house.

    Thanks @thirdeye , This is pretty much what I was looking for. Had the only perk really been the pass to RD, I was going to skip.

    KCBC - Worth the membership?

    Morning all, Like the title says, I've been looking into the KCBC and am contemplating joining. I am by far in no place to be competing yet - but hopefully one day. Is it more for those competing, or is it still a good value for the average backyard BBQ enthusiast?

    Newest addition to the arsenal

    Pork Fat Off of Boston Butt

    If it still has the skin on it, Season it up on both sides using your favorite rub, then place it in the over at 350 for about 45 - 60 min Skin side down. This will crisp it up really nicely - Cut it down into pieces and it makes a great side snack.
