I have fallen into enablement hole

[Florida Chris]

I just got the rolley eyes from the warden.

You're good. It's the combo of rolley eyes, huff, head shake, and off to the tub with a bath bomb that really will ruin your month.

Don't forget the forehead rubbing along with a dismayed or puzzled expression on the face ...............

clifish that's what we call a keeper!

Yep, we went to same HS but did not know each other (class of 680) I transferred after 2 years in a local college to one 8 hours away and she was on my floor. We met at 18 and have been together since...I am 56 now.

Yeah but those vortex ribs are so good!

 

[JckDanls 07]

I will say that I am lucky in a way... She tells me ... "DON'T YOU DARE" buy me anything for Christmas, Birthday (which is coming up on the 30th), or Valentines Day ... That's because she doesn't like anything I buy her... She goes out and gets what she wants... LOL

It's a sickness I tell ya! a sickness!

It never ends

 

[millerbuilds]

Yep, the warden here does a lot of eye rolling.... I see a Vortex in your future!

hahaha - Enabler!

Looked it up on Amazon - sent the link to my son with a message saying, "YOU NEED THIS!"

If anybody is still reading: if you feel a little clench in the backside at dropping a Benjamin on the original model, if you drill down, they have a combo unit. it's a little smaller, but two baskets and water trough, which back to back could serve as a "vortexy" type device. Support dude told me the smaller one would burn about 5-6 hours with blue briquettes plus you can add during the cook.. $52-ish delivered from Amazon. Steel seems sturdy. will find out Sunday.

Air fryer wings for me too . You'll get use out of the SnS . I bank the coals as well . I get everything done with the baskets , snake and banking coals to one side .
But ,,,
Don't forget the charcoal basket from your WSM . I have a 14 , so it works better for the 22 .
Your 18 could be used in the center , and whatever you're cooking goes around that . Works great . I've even elevated the 14" ring on some bricks to get it right up under the cooking grate .
Attach the WSM charcoal grate to the ring if you haven't already . When done cooking , shake the dust out and move to wherever you need it .

You guys got me interested in the air fryer wings. I have Bears Ninja. I usually only do flappers and been deep frying and using some dry jerk seasoning I like.

 

[Fueling Around]

A couple of years ago my wife looked at the (her) Amazon bill and told me I need to spend more money on myself.
OK that was after I got her a new off lease car.

When I plan a new project or buy, the wife brings up some product or project I got snookered on in the past and reminds how much money I lost and makes me assure her it won't happen this time.

Ninja 6+1 that You influenced me to buy , and I'm damn glad you did . Love that thing .
Seasoned up and used the grill plate . Air fry setting 390 .
I fill the grill plate , but don't crowd .

I also do the sheet pan on the gas grill . Non stick foil , 1 TBLS oil ,
and a light dusting of flour and baking powder mixed . Flip and remove as needed .

 

[texomakid]

I bought a Ninja slow cooker around 10 years ago. The LED indicator has a few lights out but this thing still rocks and is used weekly around here. One of the best purchased I've made. We have a good air fryer but I got my eyeballs on that Ninja 6+1

I have the same and love it for wings, need try the grill plate for air frying, I bet it lets more air circulate than the high sided pan.

 

[chopsaw]

need try the grill plate for air frying,

It's a combination of air frying and grilling I think . The heat from the plate sears and cooks from the bottom . The 390 temp is perfect , and use that on almost everything .

I use a Nashville hot seasoning I got at GFS or one of the Frank's redhot shakers seasonings .
I do 95% of wings in the ninja .

 

[Astralogics]

Haven't justified it YET I believe is what you meant to say.

Mmmm, surely he means "Haven't received it yet". Because you know, it came with it, but it's on back order so he didn't pay for it. Right? At least that's my justification when I "need" something LOL

I do as well, unless it is nice and I want the vortex.
just never thought to combine the grill plate and the air fry setting. I usually do a franks and butter combo to toss them in.

The vortex is only ~$35…. Lol, there’s my enabling
