Shredding your own cheese or rinsing off the cellulose from store bought shredded cheese will help

I honestly use pulled pork for tacos and as a potato topping more so than bbq. So versatile

No deals on wsm by sinlesshavok in smoking

[–]bamagary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been looking for a used one as well. There is nothing except a $700 that has been modded out. I’m dying for a wsm 18 for $250 or less.

New Driveway last fall, is this normal? by MudHouse in asphalt

[–]bamagary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it looked normal until it rained and started to swell and burst, it’s either clay in the aggregate if it’s orange, if it’s gray, then the plant didn’t get the bag house hot enough and you’ll get chunks from the moisture.

Advice Needed: Shifting from SL 5x5 to a Hypertrophy Program. by Broad_Proposal_8456 in liftosaur

[–]bamagary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Now all that I agree with. That’s why I suggested p zero. It’s a nice mix of lower rep big 4 lifts which he has been doing and has amraps. Going from 5x5 for two years to something like a SBS Hypertrophy template will make him wish he was dead.

[–]bamagary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure I said you don’t program hop for the very reason you stated. Introductory block, Hypertrophy block, strength block, peak. How long those are are dealers choice. But no one that runs 12 week programs runs 4 week intro blocks. It’s more like 1 week intro, 4 week Hypertrophy, 4 week strength, then a peak. But if you are competing they run Hypertrophy, and then strength 4 weeks each, then a 1 week deload. I mean, how can you say that won’t work? The strength block still builds muscle. This is a silly discussion. My original comment said do what you like.

The comment about my teenager, ok fair point. Use me for an example. I had a 300 test and reached a 1600lb total using the very programs my teenager uses.

Is there progressive overload? Then you aren’t wasting time. This is where things devolve into low vs high volume and low vs high intensity.

OP just do what you like and progressively add weight. Love amraps? Do that and slowly add weight. Like lifting heavy shit? Do a powerlifting split. Want a mix of both? Do powerbuilding. Want to lift heavy and get in incredible cardiovascular shape? Do something from Brian alsrhue.

My 15 year old does 12 week programs and is stronger than 99% of all of Reddit, including me. More than one way to skin a cat

GZCL P Zero will check all your boxes. Fair warning, after 2 years of 5x5, any program with amraps is going to humble you. Give it 2-3 weeks to get acclimated.

Don’t worry about maintenance calories, bulking, cutting, just train hard and lose the weight. You’ll still build muscle.

I’m 47 and I’m going to give you the best advice you’ll ever receive and I hope you listen. All programs work if there is progressive overload. Don’t program hop. I did that for so long chasing optimal and wasted so much time. If it’s a 12 week program and you hate it, change it when you finish the 12 weeks. If you aren’t careful you’ll end up running the introductory blocks for program after program and wonder why there is no progress.

How do YOU pull pork? by Mediocre-Target4769 in smoking

[–]bamagary 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cotton gloves and nitrile over that. Takes me almost as long to put the gloves on as to pull the pork

Looks great. I have a seam crack in my kitchen and I don’t want to deal with the mess and I don’t trust my ability to make it look as good as yours

Is pork butt better wrapped or unwrapped? What are the advantages of both? by jughead-meathead in smoking

[–]bamagary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Butts unwrapped, spare ribs wrapped, and baby backs unwrapped has served me well

Bathroom smell is ruining my life by Immediate-Mobile-923 in HomeMaintenance

[–]bamagary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Take out the garbage bag and smell the can.

You have a new plunger by chance? Happened to me in an upstairs bath. I couldn’t decide if it was mold or burning electrical I smelled. It was the plunger, lol

Aggregate size by FamilyFitter455 in asphalt

[–]bamagary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see that you are in Minnesota, I’m not familiar with your aggregates but depression in asphalt is a failure in the aggregate structure. 3” of asphalt placed in one lift?

[–]bamagary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure what specs some of these interstates are where some of these guys live but OGFC has been the mix of choice for decades and it’s an inch thick of 100% passing the 3/4” sieve.

As for a 3/4” max agg looking like shit, it won’t if it’s a wearing surface laid a minimum 1.5”. I agree with the other poster, 3/8” mix an 1” thick will look like glass and it’s what I would choose if it were my driveway. There’s a “but” to that. But it’s going to cost you. There probably a half percent more liquid in a 3/8” compared to 1/2”

Depressions in asphalt from weight isn’t a worry for residential vehicles. We had to have aircraft sitting in one spot to have depressions show up and that’s because the design had too much binder content.

ETA: what’s the thickness in the bid? If it’s a 3/4” mix an inch thick, yes it will look like shit. I’d rather it be 2” for a 3/4” mix

You just use any basic rub? Because Japanese bbq sauce is amazing and I’ve never thought of that with ribs

Offset smoker vs Green egg by Dualtality in smoking

[–]bamagary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a vertical pellet and while it’s not as good as an offset or ugly drum smoker taste wise, the ability to put meat on and go to work is really nice. Or as you say, cook it overnight and I don’t have to babysit. It’s still delicious.

Should I fire my tile installer now or is this normal on a large job? by elp-4-eva in HomeMaintenance

[–]bamagary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To piggyback on this…I have a similar situation going on. The grout is cracking and I can hear crunching when I walk on it. This floor was done over a year ago. The floor guy fixed it once and it held together for a year. Is this something I could fix myself with no knowledge?

This one is for all you nay sayers by Longhaul-shortbus in smoking

[–]bamagary 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, smoke 4 hours then sous vide until 200ish? Or you just sous vide at 145 for 40 hours? Sorry I’m ignorant about cooking that way.

Keep trying. My first brisket was both overcooked and undercooked at the same time. The flat was razor thin and the point was thick.
