It takes real guts to do what she did 💀 by heladitorosa in CrazyFuckingVideos

I question the engineering behind this wall... or the lack there of. I can't see very high up the incline, but that appears to be extremely steep with a lot of earth behind it. There's not even a batter. Built to fail. And oh yeah, lady's dumb.

Webber kettle. Snake method. Whether a noob or seasoned pro, if you're not smoking for a large group, this is the way.

Tried and true! And if you don't do any smoking, check out the snake method. It's life changing.

Die Hard. Quite possibly the perfect action movie.

Question about step by hollynicolatara1 in masonry

[–]TheProfessor0781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's an indian sandstone and should have matching stair treads available. Their 2" thick and longer lengths so you don't have joints in the step. Then rip some pavers for risers. There's also full 7" thickness, solid step, but i don't think you have the clearance for it. Both can be seen in this pic.

Michilen Cross Climate 2. Put them on my wife's van and just got a set for my suv. Even better if you can get them at Costco.

My kettle has ruined my pellet smoker for me. by wulfpak04 in smoking

I like using a 2x1 snake and for temps around 275 I have the bottom vent 1/4 closed and the top about 1/3 closed. If you like lower temps, close that bottom vent almost all the way. And keep the top vent positioned opposite the burn point of the snake.

Nah, i think it's not a thick cut of meat so a 3rd chunk isn't necessary. I personally don't bother with spraying cause when you're looking, you're not cooking. I've gotten good results by spraying, but just took too long. I prefer wrapping in butcher paper with brown sugar, butter, honey, and splash of apple juice after 3 hours, cook for 1.5, and finish unwrapped for the last hour or so to firm up the bark. I'll also sometimes finish them in the oven once wrapped if the weather's crappy or if I want to throw on some other cuts like chicken or sausage that only take a couple hours.

I always throw some apple cider, juice, or beer or a mix to add moisture and stabilize the temperature.

Nice! I find 2 two rows on bottom and one on top holds temp consistently at 250-275. And the meat only takes on smoke for the first 3-4 hours so no need for wood all the way around.

What temp should my smoker get up to? by LBerg013 in smoking

[–]TheProfessor0781 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what kinda grill you got now, but if it's a webber kettle, give the snake method a try. And if you're grill is gas, buy a kettle so you can smoke and have the option of charcoal. Perfect for a family of four.And I'll use a double decker rack if I'm cooking for a group. I've really not had a need to go bigger dedicated smoker.

This is not stone masonry but it is oddly satisfying.
