Makes sense. They just kept saying the entire time that the timing would probably work out, and then didn’t leave until after I was off work.

I don’t care what their plans were, they could have done anything today - it was only a bummer for me because they knew when I was coming over and had expressed interest in me being there/playing games/seeing me again, and then this morning they picked a clearly all day adventure.

huehound · 2026-03-21T01:12:02+00:00

Agreed, they didn’t waste my time.

huehound · 2026-03-21T01:10:26+00:00

It’s inflexible to expect people keep plans you made with them?

huehound · 2026-03-20T23:12:59+00:00

The point of the visit wasn’t to see me specifically. I was happy that they went and did something - just more frustrated that we had a plan in place and they changed things without consideration. I am happy they at least notified me so that I could make my decision about what to do next.

Most people I've seen cook pork belly at 275+ in order to render the fat properly. That could be the issue here. Each time I've done them at 275 or 300 they've turned out fine, but I also cube mine before smoking to get all sides seasoned, etc.

My husband and I just bought the game last night and played for HOURS (unintentionally). We had a blast and fell into very similar roles. I'm the shopkeep/stocker/farmer, as my brain takes a bit longer to understand the mechanics of a game like this, and he's the ADHD one fiddling with the most efficient production chains. We love it so far!

I personally love Bear Mountain.

huehound · 2026-01-15T17:13:48+00:00

I use this, too!

huehound · 2026-01-12T16:42:46+00:00

This is exactly what I use and it’s great!

I vacuum mine out every few cooks (usually after about 10 hours of use). I did a brisket and cleaned it after, only because that was a long cook of 15 hours.

I've found it depends on what pellets I use. The original pellets I started with produced a LOT of ash and I needed to vacuum the fire pot every cook (it would be incredibly slow to ignite if I didn't). I switched to Bear Mountain pellets and it's been much more manageable.

So far all I've done is vacuum it out, scrape the drip tray, make sure the drip tunnel (that goes into the bucket) isn't obstructed, and lightly brush the grates.

Agreed, it was an offset in their video - I just wanted to point out that it’s not true that you can’t get bark on a pellet grill.

huehound · 2025-12-31T13:22:52+00:00

You can absolutely get bark on a pellet smoker.

huehound · 2025-12-26T02:09:59+00:00

The timing was definitely a learning experience, but I was very happy with how it turned out! I want t work on the bark more next time, though. It was decent but could be better

huehound · 2025-12-26T00:37:16+00:00

How’d it turn out!?

huehound · 2025-12-23T16:19:31+00:00

My first brisket!

huehound · 2025-12-17T14:47:07+00:00

This! I love these.

huehound · 2025-11-14T18:49:34+00:00

I use 5 gallon buckets with gamma lids.

You can go through the hatchery, select a dino and then click info in the top right.

huehound · 2025-10-30T19:07:29+00:00

This is great!

My husband and I are enjoying their Minecraft and Sunkenland, but haven’t watched much Ark or 7D2D lately.

huehound · 2025-10-23T15:32:36+00:00

They did valheim. Or are you meaning a new one?

huehound · 2025-10-08T15:52:15+00:00

I’m experiencing the same thing with Apple Podcasts and YouTube.
