    Interested in Opinions/Reviews from Meater Owners

    I've owned both the Meater+ and the Block since the Kickstarter units shipped. Years later, all still working like a charm. I use them about every couple of weeks for smoking or sometimes bread baking. I'm sure they will die sometime since nothing lasts forever. I know the # of imitators...

    Hello from the Lake of the Oarks - New guy

    Great looking ribs! Thumbs up on the butcher shop in Camdenton, we like to stop there when we need meat. Hope you get some time to go snagging while you're at the lake.

    Making Apple Butter

    Brings back memories of many years over the copper kettles, looks great! I cheated and used the stovetop then the oven this fall...am hoping to get a copper kettle someday! Would love to hear your other ingredient ratios if you're willing to share. Enjoy the time around the fire!

    Finally it's chili weather

    Finally good with the how thick it is, ready to feast. Just some simple cheddar on top for me. Dang good stuff! Oh, and my oldest found a use for the rest of the jalepenos... Enjoy the rest of your weekend folks!

    Finally it's chili weather

    Ha, yeah, what can I say, I do love me some kidney beans! Smaller tritip sliced, I could eat this whole bowl! But it's almost time for a bowl of red.

    Finally it's chili weather

    Started with 3 arbols and as I was sautéing the onion I added one fresh red jalapeno from the garden. Need to figure out what I'm doing with the other dozen or so that are ready to be harvested... I will probably roast on the grill, peel, and freeze for future hamburger toppings. All of the...

    Finally it's chili weather

    JJ, that sounds like a great negotiation brokered over many years of quarreling :emoji_wink: Growing up for me chili was browned ground beef and a can of chili beans... things have evolved some since then!

    Finally it's chili weather

    At least according to most of my family... On the other hand, I could eat a bowl of red or green anytime! I've done this process a few times now but don't worry too much about the exact ingredients/ratios. The two stars of the show are the peppers and the meat. For peppers, I seeded, tore...

    Meater Block Buyer Beware ***UPDATE***

    I'm another one of the lucky ones. My block and Meater+ both work perfectly. I did have to move my big smoker closer to the Wifi router, which was fine for the summer. Hope you guys get things worked out!

    Tri-tip blues

    JC, I buy my tri tip by the case from Gordon Food Service. Looks like there is one in GB. $4.99 per pound untrimmed is what I paid a few weeks ago. Ordered online and picked up at the store a few days later. A case is a lot, so have your freezer ready and if you can a vac sealer. I break...

    Cyberq Cloud and Pitmaker Safe....is it worth the upgrade?

    How important is it to you that you leave your smoker unattended for a long time? I have stopped trying to use the snake or minion method in my insulated vertical cabinet in favor of small hot fires that I start in a chimney about every hour (about 2/3 of a chimney of briquettes and chunks...

    Every pizza needs bacon

    Thanks all! Hopefully I won't go 2 months before the next time I make them again now that the weather is finally improving.

    Every pizza needs bacon

    I'd planned to make pizza with some of my Pop's brine bacon a few weeks ago after his birthday, so I was even more committed in light of his recent health problems. The dough is an overnight no knead variety that couldn't be easier. The sauces usually include a homemade roasted garlic-based...

    Meater

    I usually cook closer to 250, and have found it underestimates the stall time, but then does well. How did it go?
