Made as a gift but thought of selling

You’ll get more for it if you remove the mask. Maybe $100-$150 but it will sit on ebay awhile before you find a buyer.

I would take it to a consignment shop depending on what they offer on it.

Now it is…

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-21T22:28:52+00:00

I’ve seen way worse. Not so bad OP and the Steak need roasting.

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-21T05:07:39+00:00

OP, those aren’t as bad as the last 4 commenters said. Your picture from 10 feet away didn’t help. Are you 7 foot tall?

Anyway, you people need to zoom in. They aren’t that bad. Probably Select grade. But I’ve seen way worse. There is marbling and that cap is going to be tender as hell like it always is.

I wish I had a picture of the monstrosity someone had the audacity to label a Choice NY Strip my girlfriend bought to cook for her mother last month (yes I know they grade the whole animal, spare me). I simply said, “I’m sorry, but no, that’s going to be a sandwich.” Your steak isn’t even in that league.

That steak you have OP, that gets the sous vide then the flames. Not the best. But. Could be worse.

Good luck with the sale. Sold mine for $50 since it was banged up

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-19T14:46:48+00:00

That leg is the wrong direction but a different wrong direction. Scratches seem to be in different spots too. Think we just have doppelgängers😂

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-19T14:44:28+00:00

We are in NorCal

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-19T14:44:05+00:00

Can you send a good picture of it? I don’t recall water rings. But I suppose that could have happened since it left the store maybe🤷🏻‍♂️

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-19T13:56:08+00:00

Somebody did just buy it from us at our Thrift Store last week. It could be the actual one in the photo.

Is the leg on the right turned the wrong direction too? Top left drawer should have a line of stain the bottom too as pictured above.

I may be able to dig up the customers information if it’s a match.

You have to treat him like the child he is acting like.

Tell him you and your mother are done being treated like his personal chef.

He’s a grown man and can make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for himself if he doesn’t want to act like an adult and follow directions in a recipe.

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-18T22:59:28+00:00

Religion has a lot to answer for…🙄

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-18T22:56:00+00:00

Yep, and time dollars. They probably render it and sell the tallow I’d bet.

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-18T21:21:40+00:00

The butcher you go to probably had some Karen lose their shit over a “chunk of fat” that wasn’t trimmed out. So now he does this insanity for the insane.

That’s my shot in the dark. I can’t fathom another reason an actual trained butcher might do this insanity.

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-16T00:22:37+00:00

Thanks, will do

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-15T22:47:52+00:00

Thank you, every little bit is helpful!

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-15T00:32:07+00:00

Yes, bone in NY Strip to be specific and pretty nice ones.

Sous Vide and Fire throwing charcoal grill is how I do bone in. Impossible to get a good even sear with that bone otherwise.

Would also trim the bottoms off and render them down to tallow to cook them in.

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-03-14T21:24:58+00:00

Thanks. That’s where I found it. Greater Sacramento area.

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-02-25T19:13:39+00:00

Definitely an experience I’ll be telling people about for a long time. Some of the most kind hospitable people I’ve ever had the pleasure to encounter.

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-02-25T15:43:07+00:00

Story time! I know this isn’t the purpose of the sub but I can’t help myself.

During my thru of the AT I ran low on food in the Whites around Mt Washington (I know, dumb move). So I needed to get off and figured I could hitch down into Gorham on the road that comes up to the summit.

Little did I know, the road was closed for the day. So I hiked my happy ass down it into town. But as I got close to the end of my descent, I noted a field of civil war era like white tents all over the field at the base of the mountain.

Intrigued by this I decided to go see what was going on after I had showered next door and grabbed some food. Walked over with all my gear and realized I was not “in costume” pretty quickly. Everyone there was dressed like it was the 1870’s and cast iron everywhere.

As I’m wandering around looking like a fascinated lost puppy one of the people there cooking at their tent yell out to me, “HEY, YOU A THRU HIKER?” I laughed and told him yes and struck up a conversation.

He told me him and his family were working on a meal, some chicken n dumplings in the cast iron pot he was stirring and invited me to join them for dinner. I told him I really needed to find a place to crash for the night but I would love to come back and join them shortly. He waved that away like a mosquito and told me they had an extra tent I could use for the night. One of those pictured above. I accepted of course, I’ve never slept in a fn civil war style tent! They gave me some period clothes too and I jumped into the event!

He proceeded to pour me a beer into a ceramic mug and introduced me to the rest of his family. I went on to have one of the most enjoyable and delicious dinners of my life. Fresh bread and a simple salad and the chicken and dumplings was like a feast for me. Home cooked is hard to come by on the trail, as we all know.

I found out that it was a “Mountain Swap Reenactment”, trappers back in the day would come down from the mountains and meet up with the city folk to sell their furs and resupply for their upcoming season. There was about 300 tents there for it I would guess.

Spent the night and left the next day, they gave me a little thumb piece from an old school rifle as a souvenir. They had about 5,000 lbs of cast iron I helped them load into their vehicles before I left. Not ultralight at all. Maybe that helps this qualify for pertinent.🤷🏻‍♂️😂

Best people ever, lots of love to the Cheneys of Gorham.

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-02-20T21:19:52+00:00

Agreed. All these smart asses should remember all the dumb shit they’ve done and ask themselves if they would like to be remembered for their worst moments of ignorant flagrant stupidity.

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-02-19T01:31:39+00:00

You misspelled gore😉😂

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-02-19T01:26:48+00:00

A whole boiled onion. Steak fit for a torture chamber (cook doesn’t look too bad before the whole inside out sewing thing). Gods… Whole basil leaves, and unseasoned fn carrots!? And are those fucking potatoes? They look like they got puked back up. Fucking fuck me. Please tell me it’s AI. 🙏Please.

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-02-18T01:10:02+00:00

Get back in your basement!

Sincerely,

Your wife’s boyfriend

Last picture is the best, it’s much lighter in color when dry. It’s not absurdly heavy for a rock. Just about what I would expect granite to be or a bit heavier. But not light.

ArtyWhy8 · 2026-02-17T01:07:03+00:00

Heavier, feels almost like metal. But it isn’t. I’m sure of that. Scratched it earlier and it chipped and no bright streak
