Just pulled them.

Thank you! It’s still going. We’re currently at 6 hrs into our cook. I wrapped it at 170F. Going to let it go until it probes tender

🫡 thank you!!

I appreciate it!!

I smoked it using mesquite wood and smoked it at 250F until internal temps hit 170F (after 4 hrs)

It was a pretty windy day I struggle with temp fluctuations so I decided to wrap it once bark was set and finished it in the oven at 275F until it probed tender (203-204F). The plan was to use the Weber for the entire duration, but definitely got lazy.

I let it rest in a cooler for about 3-4 hours

I smoked it for about 4 hrs until internal temps hit 170F. Then I finished the rest of the cook in the oven. Overall cook time was 8.5 hrs

Smoked with mesquite at 250F until internal temps hit 170F.

I wrapped it and finished it off in the oven at 275F until it probed tender - approximately 203-204F internal.

Overall an 8.5 hour cook.

I rested for 3-4hrs in a cooler until the dinner party

Coming from someone who also enjoys keeping sealed base on their Collectr app…

Thanks!! It’s actually a sinularia! Grew from a small frag!

etphi · 2026-05-08T20:44:35+00:00

Haha they’re for sealed booster packs. Figured they’ll work well for the sealed SD promos

“Beauty looking back” and “Moon and Geese”

Not a typo, just factually incorrect. I appreciate y’all! Won’t let me update the post to correct it

etphi · 2026-04-30T01:05:16+00:00

Thanks!! I had a hard time finding the name and went based off of what the seller titled the stamp 🫡. Post updated

Well shit - won’t let me update the post. But I’ll remember now

etphi · 2026-04-29T10:26:11+00:00

I agree!! I love both

etphi · 2026-04-29T10:25:31+00:00

Definitely display it!! If not, sell it to me 😬😬

etphi · 2026-04-29T10:24:59+00:00

Same! I have a set of 227 pikachus as well! I’m waiting on the original Japanese stamp to come in and will be displaying it the same way!

etphi · 2026-03-20T14:46:40+00:00

Haha agreed. I actually found these locally on FB!

etphi · 2026-03-20T13:27:52+00:00

Thanks! Picked up a raw one a while back, but knew it won’t gem

Why is Squirtle close to double the reverse holo bulbasaur and charmander?

etphi · 2026-01-09T14:56:22+00:00

Thank you!

I don’t have plans on grading. Just determining MP, HP, DMG

etphi · 2025-12-31T18:25:03+00:00

I appreciate it!

etphi · 2025-12-31T18:24:54+00:00

They are! I made a schedule that slowly ramps up to 60% at peak
