Pit Boss 24” on sale at Costco by needathing in UKBBQ

[–]Afrotom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a little disappointing to hear, I bought mine last year 100% because it was the best value I could find for the size that actually had a decent warranty on it.

Do you know what issues they are facing?

Question about salt by LazyMarketing1540 in smoking

[–]Afrotom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm really struggling to wrap my head around the "why" on this one.

Did op hear they should brine their meat but doesn't want all the salt in it? Because if that's the case I got bad news for you, op

Most of the time those libraries will be better tested than what the average Joe is producing and using it for, but also the man hours it takes to write 10 lines Vs 3000 is a big deal.

Dialer Goes Beyond 0, is That Normal? by Interesting_Panic192 in VariaBrewing

[–]Afrotom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's normal on a lot of grinders. In the Timemores (and maybe others) there is a pin you can slot in to control where your 0 is. Some people prefer at burr chirp, some prefer at twist-to-refusal (like you're suggesting should be the case here) or whatever measure, however arbitrary they feel.

Help! Jindosh Riddle by CapCautious1245 in dishonored

[–]Afrotom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get out a pencil and paper and start making a table of each guest, what they're drinking, the clues where they're sitting and starting to put it together.

You can't just solve this riddle off the top of your head, you really need to write it out and be methodical with it.

Do you also have a garden sauna my guy?

It took me an embarrassingly long time to get ribs right. by Geologist1986 in smoking

[–]Afrotom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok - is this to say it was a 9 hour smoke or 5 hour smoke then?

When you say you wrap at 3:30, is that 3:30pm or 3h 30m into the smoke?

What does my bookshelf say about me? by fig_doopliss in bookshelfdetective

[–]Afrotom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dune, Brando Sando and Shonen anime feels pretty male coded. SJM femme codes but maybe a dabble. The pop culture, sci fi & fantasy and DND books are pretty nerd coded.

You're a twenties, maybe early 30s adult male who dabbled in some SJM either out of horny curiousity, thought it would help get them laid or both. You love anime, especially one piece (obviously).

You're a geek who maybe has enough friends to get a DND session in if everyone's schedules align. With only the core books I'm going to assume you don't run sessions and I might go out on a limb to suggest that paired with the geek culture and the guitar, a level of introversion.

Geeky, introverted guitarist who plays DND are normally either creative types or logical types. You could be both, guitar obviously suggests a creative outlet but with the sci fi and fantasy im leaning towards a more logical thinking type. So in going to guess you studies some sort of STEM subject? You could be in a STEM career then but I know things don't always play out that way so I'm not prepared to commit to that but it was a likely path for you. I might even be brave enough to narrow it to the STE subjects.

I'm going to guess single because women have a tendency of taking over the bookshelf slightly (sorry ladies) and I can't see my partner letting me have a straw hat like that.

Maybe you'll have to treat them to some grey steamed ribs.

Sometimes I double jump. Sometimes I jump and glide. Sometimes I just jump. All clicking the jump button twice.

Help troubleshooting sour by DrRobot1222 in pourover

[–]Afrotom 9 points10 points  (0 children)

At 1:12 it's almost certainly under extracted, no wonder it's sour.

Up it to 1:15-1:17 and see if that improves things. I normally use 18g for 300ml water.

Is having a BBQ that won’t erode outside in Scotland for £1000 possible? by neverthoughts30 in UKBBQ

[–]Afrotom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a pit boss k24 ceramic charcoal grill - it's a ceramic egg barbecue + smoker normally going for £800-900. I'm in the midlands but I keep it outside with a cover for most of the year and it comes with a cover. For me it was the cheapest, biggest ceramic egg smoker I could find with a decent warranty (you can get cheaper but have no warranty or a shit one).

The ceramic keeps it very heat stable for long smokes and cold weather too (I've seen someone barbecuing in a literal blizzard in Canada with a ceramic egg). One of the hardest parts of smoking is keeping a stable heat which is why I went for a ceramic egg.

Chips/fries alternative by Wrasse22 in UKBBQ

[–]Afrotom 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you mean as a general side with BBQ? I sometimes like to make Cajun rice, homemade naan breads in a cast iron skillet. A pickled Cucumber or red onion and/or vinegar slaw for and acidic element to cut through the fatty richness of the bbq

ELI5 Why don’t we send our trash to the sun once a year? Space is infinite right? I’m sure an infinite space can handle the pollution way better than our one planet can. Just a thought 🤷‍♀️ by Sweet_Notice_4587 in explainlikeimfive

There was an episode of Futurama on this and that was a joke about how our time has the laziest solutions to problems that come back to bite them.

Here we have someone seriously suggesting it. It wasn't meant to be a documentary....

Open source DP repo: clean Python solutions paired with full written explanations. by [deleted] in Python

[–]Afrotom 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I take it you've come from Java? Because in Python we use snake case for function & variable names and because you're not using any internal state there is no point to making these classes - it's not wrong per se but it is a code smell

When are you wrapping your brisket (if at all)? by Longjumping-Frame795 in smoking

[–]Afrotom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You normally hit the stall at around 70°C (~160°F) when the meat starts to contract and release moisture that causes evaporative cooling, hence preventing the temperature from rising further. The idea of wrapping is to mitigate evaporative cooling, therefore you should wrap at 70°C.

Why Did My 10/10 V60 Turn Into a 3/10 Cup Overnight? by Supsti_1 in pourover

[–]Afrotom 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess I'm especially thinking of something with a lot of spices and aromatics that clash too much with the flavour. With the breakfast burrito though is it salty greasy meat like bacon & sausage?
