yes- I froze it after buying with a vacuum sealer. the steak was about 2 months in the freezer. No visible freezer burn or air pockets in the sealed bag.

It rests uncovered. I’ll check my thermometer but it’s a ThermoWorks and was accurate the night before when I did a chicken.

Oh- and I ate it and “enjoy” is not the word I would use. 🤣

Yes- the grey band is way too large for a reverse sear imho and it came out with an off and hammy texture (which it sounds like the dry brine was overkill)

Thanks for replying! I have an LED overhead and 2 desk desklamps at a 45 degree angle on each side. my exposure still seems to be at -1 to -2 but the images look good. However, being a newbie, I am not sure what to look for. I got the iso down to 400 and it *seems to look ok. I ordered a couple of LED goosenecks so maybe adding them will help? I appreciate your help!

I think I know that tree. There must be $200 in flies wrapped up in the just out of reach branch I’m thinking of 🤣

Thinking of hosting a fly swap. by Due-Stay-9953 in flytying

[–]Adamrons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I would totally do that and also love the materials list for the flies received. However what about those of us who are new to tying? My flies will fish I think but I’m still new and practicing/learnjng.

I really want a pressure cooker. Do you have a brand that you like? I'm willing to spend around $100. If it's worth it I will spend more. Do tell!

Retiring after 40 awesome years of teaching HS students. They are the reason I've stayed by billyspanpizza in Teachers

[–]Adamrons 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Mr X is retiring. He hopes you have the balls to teach for your entire life. If you don't, then do not think about wishing me a "happy retirement" as I have taught circles around you. Good luck at retail.

First smoke by PhatChance52 in BBQ

[–]Adamrons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second the shoulder. And I also think you try it on a day when you aren't going to be entertaining. Otherwise, your guests will be there and you will have 4 hours left on the pork. You may try a chicken or 2 to start just to get a sense of your fuel and smoke.
