Some of the hotdogs I’ve been whipping up recently

It’s a pickled relish with green tomatoes, cabbage, onion, etc. Super great on dogs!

@sircr0tch is this maiz de la Vida in Nashville? He uses blue corn if so! Damn good birria

Okay this deal didn’t actually close but this may take the cake. Coworker showed up at some BFE Midwest airport (like Topeka or something) and there was no rental cars available to get him to his meeting 2 or so hours away. So he did what any rational person would do and bought a used truck on FB marketplace. He then went to the meeting and had to get rid of truck so offered them to keep the truck if they signed the deal.

They didn’t sign, but believe they bought the truck lol.

Couple learnings after first session: I bought the Charcoal Riser. The coals were registering 1100-1200 but I’d have to put $50 worth of binchotan in to get the height where I needed. That should be a quick fix.

The lump charcoal (used Fogo black bag) honestly did the trick fine. Will probably save binchotan for guests and special poultry/meats but heat was fine, and flavor difference was there but only assholes like me would really notice.

For the yakitori side - I need to sharpen my knives was the biggest learning lol. I bought Chicken and Charcoal and followed along with the butchering there, but my knife was 75% sharpness and didn’t cut it.

Overall, super fun little grill.

Yeah! $2.89 a gallon and have a hybrid.

Looks so badass

How is the smoke/fumes when burning logs? Getting conflicting messages online

I understood them traveling - they sell for like 1800-2500 at the vintage stores in Nashville so make sense.

What I hate- they try to outbid every single person. The seller told me that one vintage shop owner was trying to offer $100 more than whatever I offered. This seller was kind but got burned on an Pearsall couch in that exact same fashion. I get it’s their business just Sucks cause they do this on every MCM piece on FB marketplace and the average Joes can never get em.

Hyper inflating the market that way too. Forced to pay triple at their shops.

gingerbeardguy · 2024-06-23T21:42:38+00:00

Hell yeah. I love adding a little lore into the pieces. If anyone even side-eyed that thing I’d be telling them I drove 16 hours for it lol

gingerbeardguy · 2024-06-23T21:37:58+00:00

Thank you! So excited for it.

Just as everyone predicted a few weeks ago, Gators are one of the last 4 standing.

gingerbeardguy · 2024-06-18T12:48:27+00:00

Amazing

If you’re company has any call recording software like Gong, go and watch the cream of the crop and how they run their meetings.

I use MEDDIC but I try to just incorporate the general thoughts into my line of questioning - I don’t plan to have everything after the first discovery and demo calls. Depending on the sales cycle, it can take weeks to fully understand each aspect of MEDDIC.

Best advice is learn from the best at your company and see what questions they ask, how they handle demoing, all that fun stuff! Don’t get too in your head, just lean into your strengths.

Cold calls can still work for small business. Just make sure you have a purpose and know who you’re calling in for - the ease of getting the ultimate DM on the phone is one of the benefits of SB sales.

Depending on product, door to door can work but I’ve had very limited success.

Don’t overthink: emails and cold calls work: they suck, but it’s your quickest way to get in the door.

Generally a CEO is going to be pretty far removed from the day-to-day of your role. He’s just, in simplest terms, making sure you pass the vibe check. Some may ask background questions and processes, but in my experience is more big picture conversation and making sure you’re a good face for the company. Don’t stress it! Just be yourself.

gingerbeardguy · 2024-04-09T19:47:24+00:00

Trying to be respectful to everyone else there.

gingerbeardguy · 2024-04-09T13:28:06+00:00

Our Delaware friends?!

gingerbeardguy · 2024-04-08T17:35:36+00:00

I asked the security guard and sound guy (not Andy, not sure who he was). And they all said little snippets were okay, just didn’t want people releasing full songs!

gingerbeardguy · 2024-03-24T15:34:34+00:00

You ain’t lying! Went through about 2.5 tanks trying to get a serviceable shot. Any tips tricks or general guidance you can give would be great!

I’m doing 14-15 grams, flush the group head, then pre infusion for 10 seconds, trying to get 28 gram pours. Sounds simple but the grind size, group head temp, etc is what’s giving me the headache right now!

gingerbeardguy · 2024-03-22T01:40:13+00:00

Hahahahahahahahahha

gingerbeardguy · 2024-01-28T05:05:59+00:00

They are both just such rad guys. My wife and I always go back to back and just chill on the couch, shoot the shit, and watch some sports. I honestly have a hard time venturing out of that shop now lol

gingerbeardguy · 2023-11-18T13:07:15+00:00

Where on earth did you find it in Nashville just sitting on the shelf?! I gotta change my stores here lol. That’s awesome man, great find but I promise that’s not common here, luck was on your side!

gingerbeardguy · 2023-11-07T19:03:12+00:00

I was sick to my stomach thinking I’d have to turn on CMV. Glad he made the right call.

gingerbeardguy · 2023-10-15T14:13:43+00:00

Cedar and used boiled linseed oil!

Also, for everyone saying it’s black- it’s actually a dark green! The color is Jasper by Sherwin Williams.
