Learning the Language -Urban Dictionary not helping-

IslandPilot

I'm new to the Egg world. We are having fun. Four cooks so far, Pizza, Steak, Ribs, and wings all with great success (There was a speed bump with the Pizza but we recovered well) and I'm learning a ton from this forum. Although, it is a little confusing at times trying to catch up with the language. I can guess at a few terms but there are some that I'm missing. "Spatch," Yeah, don't urban dictionary that one. SRFS, FOGO, OT, I'm guessing these are acronyms. I'm not hopeless though. I figured out reverse sear. The definition, not the art.

Welcome. Lots of acronyms used here.

SRF = Snake River Farms - great source for Wagyu beef, especially brisket
OT = Off Topic - not Egg related but interesting
IT = Internal temp of meat
FTC = Foil, Towel, Cooler - If your roast is done early, wrap in foil, wrap in towels and put it in a cooler to keep hot for hours
Spatchcock = cut the back bone out of a chicken and flatten it on the Egg.  Cooks in about 90 minutes.

As you come across others just ask.  Lots of folks here to help.

RO = Royal Oak Lump Charcoal
OO = Ozark Oak Lump Charcoal

EVOO = Extra Virgin Olive Oil.

When I first came here I read a few posts about cooks where the guys were using evoo in their cooks. I asked my wife if she knew where I could buy evoo! It took a little reading to figure that one out! 

Welcome and feel free to ask any questions you may have.

Even acronyms get mispelled.  TJ meant to write SWMBO.
I always pronounce it swim-bo in my mind, but I know it means my significant other aka Wife of almost 27 years.
