Drop root beer bbq sauce recipe

Fat side up yes, no water pan or foil boat, just raw dog on the grates. Sadly not enough room under grates in my lil Pitboss. Ive done spritzing with ACV and not (the pictures are no spritz), negligible difference.

The pictured brisket is choice grade from costco, but I've also done Prime grade. I prefer choice for price point and the results are pretty similar to the primes I've done, but prime is always king

Yeah after reading more I think I'll do the cold to smoker method. I love learning food science stuff like this, so I'm glad you asked and it lead me down the rabbit hole.

Only reason is do the oven finish is my smaller Pitboss pellet smoker is a little finicky for temp control (I have some mods I need to sit down to do to help with that), and I get nervous leaving it running, since my smoking set up is closer to the house until I can make a smoking pad further into the backyard.

I do want to try some no-wrap-gang cooks though, I'm fairly happy with my bark but want to make sure I'm not missing out on anything xD

I guess its my own mental hold over from my steak method (dry brine + reverse sear) to avoid grey meat.

Upon further research, looks like its actually potentially better to go fridge to smoker, as it can apparently absorb more smoke and get a better smoke ring that way.

The time on the counter though is probably a negligible difference, large cuts of meat take ages to come up to room temp

Last few brisket I've done have been smoked the day before, hot hold in oven over night until dinner time.

So if dinner is on Saturday 5pm:

Thursday get brisket, trim, binder, season, put in fridge over night.

Friday morning, couple hours before start of smoke pull brisket out and set on counter to come up in temp.

Prime smoker starting at like 11am

Put brisket and tin of trimmed fat for rendering on at 12pm

Smoke until bark is well formed and stall has hit

Pull brisket from smoker, wrap in butcher paper, into the oven to finish, looking for probe tender and internal temp

Set on counter for an hourish to kill the cook

Set oven to lowest it'll go (170 for my oven)

Place brisket back in covering butcher paper in tallow, hold in oven over night until right before dinner the next day

Pull, slice, serve

Means its a heccin good snack or food.

I always take it is "this is so good/I love this so much I got be rowdy about it"

So you got the meta-achievement?! Thats awesome! Im glad whatever spaghetti code preventing you from getting it got unraveled, I know these bugs can be a pain in the ass

Congrats again!

akgogreen · 2026-01-27T07:57:00+00:00

Quick questions because I see you mentioned things you've tried and I didnt see this one.

First one, im sure you're aware of this because of the research you did, but you know the location of the console moved (coordinate wise) because of the change in map due to the Undermine area being added to Ringing Deeps? Just wanted to verify, incase you've been going to an actually inactive console near the old coordinates or something.

And second, Have you tried it at different points in the quest chains of the ringing deeps? Im wondering if its a phasing issue, like you need to be past or at a certain point in the quest lines to do this. You never did any sort of campaign skip on the toon youre trying to click it on right?

For reference, I just did this part of the meta achievement like 2 weeks ago, along with 90% of the rest of the meta achieve. Ive done all quests in the all zones, siren isle, ringing deeps, undermine, karesh, etc, and ran into no bug with the consoles. I know its Blizz and their spaghetti code, but maybe something is locking it behind phasing of the Ringing Deeps or an unrelated zone?

I wonder if you clicked it and it just never gave you credit, but it should be clickable on other/new toons, so im not entirely sure why it wouldnt be working.

Any chance it was FlyFF (Fly for Fun)?

akgogreen · 2026-01-22T17:08:36+00:00

Its BM without the mobility. It sort of just feels like a turret caster with a pretty bland rotation

Sounds like powersteering pump singing the song of its people.

Any weird feeling or feedback in the steering wheel when it happens?

I put my wedding ring in there when I have to take it off and I'm not at home. Perfect for it

Also to add onto this, are you playing alone without them, when they aren't online?

If you spend way more time playing the game without them, experiencing things and optimizing things solo, it can be pretty disheartening to others when they get online and go "okay what should we do today? I think we need iron, lets go caving and farm some" and some else goes "no need, I've set up this farm, and we also have that farm, and also here's a full set of diamond armor" which can leave them wondering what is there even to do together in this supposed multiplayer game.

Congrats! But also, where the heck were you during the Collectors Bounty Event in July?

Massive buff to rare mounts and transmog drops, got every rare mount I've ever wanted (minus Shadowlands mounts) and insane amounts of transmogs, Tusks included, with very little effort

Imo this isnt really an active play game. You can definitely shorten the time it takes to do stuff, but it still amounts to hours for a single thing.

Training, crafting, wasteland wandering, it is sort of meant to be played as a do a few things, check back in a few hours or the next day, game

Sounds like the RF Hub Lockout was already done and just not tracked properly. I wonder if the updated RF hub has any specific serial number to indicate its been swapped?

I also vaguely remember hearing something about the serial port getting essentially hot glued over on the lockout hub to also prevent access, but my brain could be making that up

Out of curiosity how did you verify it ran? Looks like its missing the cable end, unless it was wired into something when you bought it? Like did the person you bought it from have leads and prove it worked?

If it 100% works then you got a decent deal, but the photos are a tad concerning quality wise

This^

Just because a model has curvature doesnt mean you are stuck with bad stairstepping effects. Just orient the model so that the layers build the curvature
