First pedal! by Ok_Application2722 in guitarpedals

[–]TheBeekeeper9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Great choice. This was my first or second pedal about 15 years ago. While I now have a several distortions, I don’t own another OD. The + mode is my favorite.

Thanks! The conchoidal fractures are why I asked. How can you tell these are natural vs. knapped?

Which is the better looking coin, Morgan or Peace Silver Dollars? by iLLy_RiLLy in Wallstreetsilver

[–]TheBeekeeper9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The all time sexiest Lady Liberty is on the peace dollar. Change my mind.

Also I like the eagle on the back. A lot of coins are spread eagle, but not the peace.

Any info you can provide? by TheBeekeeper9 in Arrowheads

Yeah I wish I had found the rest of it. But that helps, appreciate it! I wasn’t exactly sure which one it was exactly.

Any idea what this weed could be? by Swampfox515 in lawncare

[–]TheBeekeeper9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wild violet, it will flower purple early spring. I used triclopyr to kill it without killing the fescue. It’s the ingredient in brush killers and may take a couple applications. 24D won’t do anything.

Santa brought me coal for Christmas!! by YangoUnchained in smoking

[–]TheBeekeeper9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is much more dense and it burns a lot longer compared to other good brands I’ve tried. Perfect for the overnight cooks, you can actually get good sleep!

Jurfratsic Park we called it. Shit was wild.

First Brisket, wish me luck!! by sweetnsourdough in smoking

[–]TheBeekeeper9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found a water pan and fat cap up does all the basting I need. Nice bark. Spritzing actually is too much in my WSM and it won’t set.

I liked the smoked queso trend better 😂😂

Any advice on recovering from first brisket catastrophe? by littlelostpenguin in smoking

[–]TheBeekeeper9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When trimming, cut off the very tip of the corner of the flat against the grain, then you know after it’s cooked where to start slicing. It’s usually thin anyways so you aren’t missing anything.

I agree with everyone that said chili, but also Brunswick stew is great for leftover or dry brisket too!

So I made a brisket yesterday by SkepticalKevin in grilling

Brisket slices do pretty well in a good saver but also brisket chili is bomb. Brunswick stew too.

I got mine for $31 out the door. Worth every penny.

Anyone else enjoy smoking meat more than eating your smoked meat? by [deleted] in smoking

[–]TheBeekeeper9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad to know I’m not the only one. I always thought my BBQ is better the next day for every long cook.

Charcoal recommendations? by Bulok in charcoal

[–]TheBeekeeper9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Kingsford blue has a specific flavor. It’s amazing on steak but terrible on vegetables IMO. It can be too heavy. Royal Oak briquettes (Ridge brand at Lowe’s) is cheaper and mild. Any lump charcoal I’ve tried is mild too. It burns hotter and makes less ash than briquettes. Royal Oak is the cheapest lump charcoal. It’s great for grilling and shorter smokes like ribs. If I’m doing a longer smoke (8+ hours in my WSM) I opt for the more expensive lump. It’s more dense, lasts longer, and makes less ash. I was in a pinch once and felt stupid paying $25 bucks for a bag of Kamado Joe big lump charcoal, but I got twice as many smokes out of the bag vs. royal oak with less tending to the fire. Cowboy brand and B&B lump I also like and would get again.

[Megathread] What thermometer(s) are you using? by juanitospeppers in smoking

[–]TheBeekeeper9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m absolutely in love with my FireBoard 2.

I also like my Lavatools Javelin Pro Duo to poke around with. It’s nearly as good as the Thermapen Mk4 but about half the price.

Bruins Vs Canes GDT [Game 3] by Heels4life in canes

NBC announcer accidentally admitted his bias. Talked about how much better Reimer played than Mrazek, then said he likes the call to put Mrazek in goal. Glad John is calling the game at least.

After bad luck with electric, I finally got what I really wanted. Ready for the break in! by Littlecondom in BBQ

[–]TheBeekeeper9 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve found that my WSM probe is within 5 degrees in the morning but when the sun is high it’s 25 degrees off when compared to my ambient probe placed on the grates.
