BOOM, BOOM...

Out goes the fire!

This is a first for me. 

I smoked some baby backs last week. They we not my best effort. Undercooked? Overcooked? Bad protein? 

Whatever. I wanted redemption.

Cleaned out the egg this am. Loaded up with Rockwood and peach chunks. 

Prepped the slab with mustard and a combo of Dizzy Pig and Swamp Venom for a little heat.

Put them on at 2:30. Fire about 250, which is where my Egg likes to settle. 

Got busy with some work stuff, ran a few errands.

Just checked my Egg and the needle is riding at 180. Rut-Roh!

Opened the vents to full and waited 5 minutes. No movement.

Removed the ribs, grate and plate setter. Fire was out. 

So, looks like it's a turbo cook now.

Any concerns that the ribs were sitting on the Egg for an hour and a half with very little heat?

Pat Travers for the win!

You caught the flame out at 180, pulled ribs, relit, and put back on.  You are fine.

Yep, no need to poop your pants over this one, Dennis.  But if you did you know what to do!

Funny thing is after the early days of free pooping whenever you feel it, in whatever you are wearing, you move on. You don't even think about it.

Then you get older...

Same with office work.  Years of working in an office you get used to pooping during specific times of the day.

Now, with remote work, you just poop whenever.  You can even work from the can.

Going back to office work will be hell on the bowels.  Will have to retrain them to pinch it off till specifix times of the day.  Nothing worse than rolling into the office and realizing you forgot the morning poo.  Now you are irritable and uncomfortable till pooping time rolls around.  Nowadays with back to back meetings, that could be 6 hours away.

Office life sucks.

Not what I expected based on the title. But damn are you right. Remote work has ruined the poop routine. Ruined it I tell ya ruined. 

dmchicago

What? The remote work revolution is like a endless flowering meadow of poop opportunities.

Poop Patrol was never really an issue, but when my bladder started struggling with 60-minute meetings, I knew it was getting close to retirement.

While we are on the topic, it feels weird to pee inside.

I think it feels weird to pee outside, but it is a good liberating weird and I never miss an opportunity to.

Pooping outside is not a good weird feeling.  Neither is pooping in the shower or a pool.

I pee outside 9 times out of 10.  Always have.

I am hesitant around pools, especially in a resort setting where a party has drank all day and never got out of the water… I can’t I just can’t

@dmchicago I ruined in separate cooks at least 2 racks of ribs and two batches of wings before I realized my dome thermometer was off by 100 degrees.

Way to bring it home, I guess.

This thread reads more like “PLOP, PLOP” than “BOOM, BOOM.” Stay on task you miscreants!

Just remember that pooping for 10 minutes per day @ the office gives you about a week of leave every year.

There's a word I wasn't expecting, given the turn this thread has taken.

Probably nice to see corn on the actual cobb sometimes.

My buddy is head maintenance for a big hotel here in the Twin Cities. He has made it clear several times to never get into a hotel hot tub or pool. He says he almost pukes when he sees people put foam from the hot tub across their face. (Most of that "foam" is peoples dead skin.)

Ooooph.... we were up early at a resort pool one morning and the maintenance guys took off a small lid and took a sample, they exchanged a look that told me they might as well be pulling a sewer cap.
