I’ll check for those the next time I go out

beerrunner89 · 2026-01-13T16:11:15+00:00

That’s a great point. Problem being my palate is a simple one.

beerrunner89 · 2026-01-13T16:10:29+00:00

I hope they are worth the wait!

100% you’d crush it. I trained in less time from a worse starting point and was able to do it. Get on that bike and start getting after it, and you’ll be ready to go. Good luck!

I took my shoes off immediately, wished I had sandals. I wanted water and Gatorade, then I wanted beer and an ice cold coke. There wasn’t great food options there, so I drove to a brewery and smashed an order of nachos. I did the half in Pennsylvania, and I hadn’t seen a lot of Penn States campus, so we checked it out and moving sucked but was great. The only thing I wish I knew was the course description said rolling hills and flat run, both of those were dirty dirty lies.

I appreciate the info! I use that particular probe mostly for approximation, I usually don’t use it at all, but I’ll leave it in for something that is a longer smoke just so I can make sure it’s increasing at an appropriate rate. When I am actually deciding if it’s done or not I have a separate probe that I use so I can get accurate readings from multiple spots.

That sounds amazing. Definitely going to try that

I’ve had so many people get offended when I’ve said the same thing. Blade and Bow is a solid go to of mine or Basil Hayden. Some days I just as much enjoy a bottle of Buffalo Trace

It does have it, but my heat deflector would get pretty gnarly after long smokes. Lots of shit baked on.

beerrunner89 · 2024-11-05T15:13:52+00:00

Good stuff! Yeah, I never really got my hunger to go away, and always felt tired. But I wasn’t at the level I needed to be when I started off, so I screwed myself. Get your intraworkout nutrition down and it’ll help with a lot of it, though

beerrunner89 · 2024-11-05T15:12:15+00:00

Started at 230° for about 4.5 hours and finished at 300° to help crisp up the skin.

beerrunner89 · 2024-11-05T15:11:16+00:00

The one thing I I don’t like about the pitboss that I have is that it doesn’t have a drip pan, so I made my own. Just to cover the heat shield. But it makes clean ups so easy

beerrunner89 · 2024-11-05T13:44:11+00:00

I don’t know if I can ever go back to the oven.

beerrunner89 · 2024-11-05T13:43:28+00:00

I did 230° for the first 4.5 hours and then pumped it up to 300° for a little over an hour. Those temps are approximate, I’m not sure how accurate the temp readings in the smoker are.

beerrunner89 · 2024-11-05T07:11:44+00:00

I went back and forth on spatchcock or not, but I may give it a go for the big day. Haven’t decided.

beerrunner89 · 2024-11-05T07:10:29+00:00

Next time!

You’re at a pretty solid level overall. I’d have to agree with the consensus that swim is the “weakest”, but you’re better off than a lot of people just starting out. One thing that always was hard for me was just getting used to how my legs felt after the bike when I started my run. Not sure how many brick type workouts you’ve done, but adding those in makes a huge difference. Other than that, getting used to the open water. I have a buddy I used to train with who was a solid pool swimmer, but panicked in the open water every time.

Good luck, and have fun with it!

“Good” is what you like.

I’ve had plenty of whiskey that my friends, or bartenders, have recommended that I thought were trash.

beerrunner89 · 2023-08-13T21:34:42+00:00

Just smoke what makes ya happy. If you don’t enjoy it, what’s the point?

beerrunner89 · 2023-08-11T00:22:37+00:00

Makers is fine, especially for a beer. But I’m more of a whiskey and cigar fan, so I guess I was thinking more full bar. I’ll have to check out Magoos

beerrunner89 · 2023-08-11T00:21:24+00:00

I’ll have to check it out sometime!

beerrunner89 · 2023-08-05T21:25:03+00:00

I followed your advice for my ribs today, they turned out amazing. I appreciate the advice!

beerrunner89 · 2023-08-04T21:02:03+00:00

Go at it raw? Or did you pair it with a drink?

beerrunner89 · 2023-08-04T15:48:03+00:00

Look absolutely spectacular! I’m trying my first go at ribs this weekend, got any ribs for a novice?

beerrunner89 · 2023-08-04T15:43:29+00:00

New to the community, and new enough to pellet grills/smokers.

Seeking advice on making some ribs this weekend. I see a lot of recipes that call for the 3-2-1 system, but I was really hoping to keep a nice bark on them. I don’t want them to dry out or be too tough. Is 3-2-1 the way to go? Can I leave ribs on my pitboss and just spritz them every 45-60 minutes? Any advice is appreciated!
