@tazcrash: LOL! not something you want hanging around while you're cooking!

Here is an idea that seems to work well when out on the deck. A homemade mosquito trap. I thought about doing something similar for flies using sugar water or something. HOMEMADE MOSQUITO TRAP: Items needed: 1 cup of water 1/4 cup of brown suga…

Poly Science has an app for the iphone/ipad that I find is great. I don't know if there is one for android, or not, but take a look, I think the app is great. Let me know what you think.

I was always told from childhood that as long as it is still cool to the touch, when thawing, it's OK. I have never had a problem. If it's packed in cryovac, even better. But I'm no expert. Do what you feel comfortable with.

@mickey What are those? They look great. Damascus?

The old gasser looks like it's in Time-out. Really nice looking table!

Congratulations, way to represent! Great job!

I've found that lighting lump in more than one spot can cause the fire to get too large. On low cooks, I only light in the center and seem to have a more controllable burn.

+1 on brining, then season with your favorite rub, but I prefer lower and slower with a little apple or pecan smoke. (250 dome) Gives time for a relaxing cocktail. Pull around 155 IT and foil.

Personally, I prefer spare ribs cut STL style. Baby backs are too lean for my taste and sometimes are dry. (Just my humble opinion.)

Let's try again. I have to learn to do this right. Looks a little better.

Sorry, Pictures didn't post. I'll try again. Don't know why they're upside down. I'll play with it some more.

Would anyone care to share their most awesome pizza dough recipe? I have only done fresh, never frozen, store bought pizzas.

You might try Goodwill and re-sell shops for used pieces, but if you buy new, Lodge is all I would consider, and Amazon has good prices.

After more than 30 years of sleeping on a waterbed, we switched, a few years ago to Bragada. They are a memory foam company that sells factory direct. They have many choices in terms of firmness. They are much cheaper than Tempurpedic and have a …

For those that don't know and who are interested, PolyScience has a good app for iphone and ipad that works very well for timing sous vide. It's called PolyScience Sous Vide Tool box. I'm not sure if they have it for android or not. I've used it …

Mine is an Old Stone Oven round stone I bought off Amazon. Works well, no complaints.

Thanks for all of the info. I'm really looking forward to using this a lot. To answer the question, my first sears were not on the egg, but tomorrow's cook will be.. I have two large porterhouse steaks I plan to put in the water in the morning.
-
BTW, I did sear both upon removal from the water bath.

I burned my gasket off just as the weather was turning bad. I got a replacement, but due to temp. have not replaced it yet. It's been doing fine.

Just got a new grinder so I plan on grinding my own. I'll have the opportunity to try thing like this. I want to try grinding bacon, mushrooms, onions, etc. into the burger. Can't wait to play with my new toy.

The 5lber probably would have been big enough for me too. I went with the bigger one only because I could without spending money. I figure if I ever need the size, it will be there, but I doubt I'll ever make batches bigger the 5 lbs.
