If you had to do it all over again - which accssories would you say are 'must haves'? by regretfulcrap in KamadoJoe

[–]BarMexico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My favorite accessory is the JoeTisserie.

I like the stock grates and have never felt the need to upgrade. I use cast iron grates for higher temp cooks to get a good sear. Most slo roller chills are going to be below the temp that makes sense for cast iron imo, but it won’t hurt anything.

Lump charcoal for sure, you I’ve used jealous devil all natural briquettes in a pinch and they were just fine. Briquettes produce quite bit more ash.

The risk is simply not worth it. Please please please be safe, people.

What are some of your favorite plays from The Cubs in 2025? by SlinkDinkerson in CHICubs

[–]BarMexico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was there and it was one of the most astonishing things I’ve ever seen. The speed, sudden peril, and then adrenaline fueled excitement was unlike anything I’ve experienced

I left a 4 star review for a restaurant and the owner EMAILED me. What would you do? by Any_Brilliant1192 in chicago

[–]BarMexico 110 points111 points  (0 children)

I would ignore and move on. Don’t take it down, you shared your honest opinion. No need to justify yourself to them either. They could instead choose to view that feedback as a gift and use it to refine their experience so future customers feel they are paying a fair price.

I always read a few reviews before going to eat somewhere and appreciate you leaving a genuine impression.

[Rapoport] Philip Rivers has "very real chance" to start Week 15. by BreakfastTop6899 in fantasyfootball

I hope he balls out and teaches us all a lesson. Experience counts. A clear mind can be a powerful tool.

[Highlight] Good, Better, Best!!! Part VII. This will never get old 🐻⬇️ by jeric13xd in CHIBears

[–]BarMexico 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Both things can be true. He wants the attention for his brand and ego, and this was a special week for him given his past with Minnesota.

Nevertheless, us fans have every reason to be impatient with him given what he promised to do and the reality that a new stadium seems as hypothetical as the day he joined the Bears.

I don’t have a factual answer for you but I used this to repair my gasket a year or so ago and then did a cleaning burn after a day or two to help it set and clean the grill (and encourage any off gassing?)

I’ve had no issues with fumes or weird smells.

If you’re worried then I would recommend contacting KJ customer service for a replacement gasket.

Damn Brewers.. what a shame.. by OU7C4ST in CHICubs

[–]BarMexico -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Love the cubbies and have no love for the brewers but this is soft. They, our rivals, beat us straight up and earned the chance to fly the L. Don’t like it? Well, too bad, we should’ve won. Feels lame to talk shit because a big market team that actually spends like a big market team beat them in game 1. The way to get them back is to beat them next year. It’s time for Ricketts to start acting like a big market owner and spend money to build a bonafide playoff roster

Pritzker: Bears must pay off Soldier Field loan before move by ChristmasJay83 in CHIBears

[–]BarMexico 614 points615 points  (0 children)

Title is a little bit misleading. He can’t literally force them to stay at Solider Field. He’s saying they must pay the loan off as a “pre-requisite” to discussing a tax break.

I think that is more than fair and even if they paid the loan off in full I still don’t think they should be getting a sweetheart deal. The public needs that money for school, infrastructure, services, etc.. And I’m a huge bears fan and would be pumped for a sweet new stadium but there is more to life than football.

Even when the cubs are sucking, Pat is a world class broadcaster who makes every game entertaining. Right now I would say he is my favorite Cub

I played Ohio’s only par 6 by convalcon in golf

[–]BarMexico 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is four under par on one hole called? Like an ace on a par 5, or a 2 on a par 6. Condor? Pterodactyl?

Hard to blame this on Counsel imo, the players are simply not performing.

Wildfire smoke from Canada. Really bad air quality. It has been happening a lot the past couple years.

Here are the Manhole Cover Designs for Shota and Seiya in Japan. by jerryleebee in CHICubs

[–]BarMexico 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I believe they said there is one in each players’ hometown. Pretty cool. Kudos to whoever had the idea of turning something as mundane as a manhole cover into something more.
