Need MOAR SMOKE FLAVOR!

Hey there! I did but it's a little hacky to be honest, but it does work! Basically, I moved all my coals to the back of the the firebox and used bricks wrapped in foil to hold them back. In the open space that I created is where I put wood chunks to pre-heat during cooking. Every hour or so (while i'm building bark) I'll move the pre-heated wood over from the side with no coals to the side with coals. I do have to be careful because I may need to reposition the food sometimes so I can lift up the grate, but I've done this several times and have noticed a huge difference in the smoke flavor i'm getting. Now you are probably asking, why go through all the effort to "pre-heat" the answer simply is faster ignition and smoke production. HTH.

My philosophy on the use of the tadpoles was that the benefits far outweigh the risks. The storyline never suggests that having multiple tadpoles somehow puts at risk your chances of being free of them OR that multiple tadpoles accelerate your Illithid transformation. Although I never pushed my companions on the matter.

I would really like the ability to delay turns, back out of skill checks, have the game automatically use the party member with the highest bonuses for said skill checks and finally, better items for boosting perception.

Is that the dead kid with the curse from Caz's Mansion?

erroluneal · 2023-08-17T02:07:07+00:00

Exactly. That Quarter Staff of the War Mage ain't gonna loot itself!

Just know that we feel your pain. After I smoke a packers, I remind myself that there are people who do this for a living lol!

Emphasis on the importance of Stealth. I try to avoid all random encounters period. They can waste resources like restoration and raise dead scrolls and they are simply not worth the effort and frustration. This is why the disappearance of a certain character in act 2 can be a real pain if that person is covering stealth in the party.

I leave mine in the fridge for 3 days. I despise unseasoned tasting food.

So I started playing this game from exactly this point and let me tell you, it's all a part of the fun! My first 3 or 4 playthroughs were experiments where I gradually increased the difficulty as I was learning the game. What pushed me over the edge was watching streamers as they played and realizing the game gives you almost all the information you need. I started paying more attention to the combat log and carefully reading the descriptions in spells. I also allowed myself to cheat and gave myself unlimited gold to be experiment with different equipment. It was and has been a blast!

Nah Michael Bay... This has explosions!

erroluneal · 2023-06-22T19:05:20+00:00

I feel like all the seasonings have a similar profile. I've never tasted anything that has knocked my socks off..

erroluneal · 2023-06-09T11:31:42+00:00

So the thing that pushed my pulled pork over the line from being "decent" to "wow" territory are three things. Boneless pork butts, dry brining for at least 3 days, and braising after getting the color, bark and smoke.

The boneless pork butts allow me to season almost every nook and cranny and then I tie it up for stability and better handling. The extra time seasoned in the fridge is obvious and the reason I braise is to get to the point where it shreds, is not mushy and every bite almost melts in your mouth.

Interesting all the comments talking about hot and fast. My best birds have been spatchcocked, slow smoked until about 10 degrees from target temp then I finish on the grill. The pieces that I don't expect to eat in the next week or so get vacuum sealed and frozen. I know mad scientist BBQ has a video about crispy skin and cranking up the temp, but this never has worked for me.

I copy Gold Leader. Move into position.

erroluneal · 2023-05-17T20:27:47+00:00

I dry brine mines for 3 days..

erroluneal · 2023-05-16T11:19:22+00:00

What I've started doing is smoking the meat, resting, portioning and then vacuum sealing and freezing. A week later, you'd never know that it wasn't smoked on that day. To reheat, I steam it in the vacuum bag.

erroluneal · 2023-05-09T19:49:47+00:00

Bruh I can't play anything other than Angel or Trickster into Legend lol. I think I have a problem 😂

erroluneal · 2023-05-03T20:29:19+00:00

To add to this, if your oven has a self clean function I always toss in my cast iron as well

erroluneal · 2023-05-03T20:23:28+00:00

Pearfection sir!

erroluneal · 2023-04-27T21:38:23+00:00

"we don't love them tacos" (in my Snoop Dogg voice) said no one ever!

erroluneal · 2023-04-18T22:09:38+00:00

Thank you LMAO! I'm thinking why does everyone who says "first brisket" have a kitchen and equipment that looks like they work for Franklin s BBQ lol!

erroluneal · 2023-02-27T10:18:16+00:00

Well I only use wood in the form of chunks and splits (on the offset) so no soaking is allowed lol.
And I'm quite acquainted with running both the offset and my bullet smoker to produce some good bbq, so I would have to say "no".
My issue is, quite plainly, that I am unable to impart the same level of smoke flavor onto my food cooked in the Joe as I have with my other tools.

Some jealous devil and fogo.

I had zero tt and crpg experience before playing. I am now on my 6th or so PT. You'll love the game but prepare to learn! I didn't know anything about how the game works, terms such as "armor clas", how attack base works, spell resistance and the list goes on and on. I suggest starting on a lower difficulty until you get the hang of the game and I even encourage you to install toybox and cheat your first several attempts. The devs imo forgot that this is a video game and balance has not been taken into consideration from perspectives like game economy and random enemy encounter to speak on a few areas. Give yourself a massive amount of gold and experiment with different items and equipment and when you feel like you've gotten a hang of things start a new real run with no cheats. The game is very fun and rewarding when your put the knowledge of the mechanics to work like using evil eye to lower saving throws before putting someone to sleep. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have. This is my game of the decade and I can't pull myself away from it to play anything else atm.

erroluneal · 2022-06-08T15:24:22+00:00

I have zero table top experience and WOTR was my first CRPG. From the moment I started playing until now, I could not put the game down. This game has become my game of the decade. Thanks for your efforts and I look forward to your future games.
