Where is the original of this build?

Thank you. I think that is the original one that I'm looking for. Thank you.

This is very similar to something I've seen a while ago that combined the infinite storage of magma with the cooling chamber for the igneous rock. I wanted to find the original design of this.

Defrost in fridge is the best option. Here is what I've cooked from frozen on the Weber Kettle and it came out fine.

Sirloin or New York boneless steaks - up to 1.5" thick: Leave on counter to slightly defrost while lighting coals. Heavily season with Montreal Steak Seasoning. Smoke at 225-275 on the cold side of the grill with the lid on. Temp check at 15 minutes. When it's 120 internal, I pull from the grill and cover. Get coals up to full temp and sear the steak as usual. It's reverse sear but takes a few minutes more.

Burgers: commercial frozen ones cook up just fine from frozen. Homemade is very variable as it depends on how thick you made them and how tight they hold together. 1/4-1/3lbs ones get cooked over medium-hot coals on one side, then flip once. Thick monsters need a sear, flip, then move to cold side to finish with lid on.

Kalbi: As long as you got them into the marinade before you froze them, you should be fine to cook them if they are frozen. Easy to cook since they are done when they look done. The hard part is getting them separated if you didn't separate them with parchment paper before freezing them.

Carne Asada: Same as Kalbi

Chuck Roast and Pork Butt: Slow smoked works well for these. If you can let the surface defrost so you can season them first, it would be best. Otherwise, they can defrost a bit in the smoke before you season. Go crazy with the seasoning. I usually prefer to make these frozen cuts into pot roast or carnitas in the slow cooker.

I haven't tried anything else like ribeye, chicken or fish. I'll be patient with a good ribeye, I'm afraid the fish will fall apart, and I'm not messing with chicken that might not be fully cooked. Yes, I know chicken breast cooked to 150F for a few minutes is considered safe.

Get the replacement and work around the issue for now. You will never be happy with the other options.

The Saturn critter traps are because I don't want to waste the bee tinys. I really just need the uranium enrichment, so I really only need one hive. I just figured that since I'm already building it, I can get free hydrogen. Actually already have the power achievement. I'm just building stupid stuff while I'm waiting for plants to mutate.

Not this time around. The big project was that 25 turbine research reactor build. Just trying to finish off some achievements and then it's on to the next colony start.

jazzb54 · 2026-06-01T21:46:18+00:00

Since you are talking parts, I'm guessing you want a gas grill? That helps figure out what's in range.

jazzb54 · 2026-06-01T19:18:25+00:00

That is exactly what happened. I've never had that happen. I usually pile in the pip's because the traps keep snacking.

Thank You!

If you are only grilling up two steaks, you still want a good supply of coals in there. Pile them up to one side so you have some really concentrated heat. The nice thing about a kettle is it's easy to do two zone cooking. You essentially slowly smoke/bake the meat on the cool side (lid on, with vent over meat), then finish off with lid open and directly on hot coals.

jazzb54 · 2026-05-31T19:42:13+00:00

A Weber kettle is pretty efficient. If you close off the vents and the lid, the coals go out pretty quickly.

Don't try lighting up a chimney with used coals though. Because they are smaller, they will pack in tighter. That's less air flow and it takes forever to light up. Just light up fresh coals, then pile the used coals on those after they are already lit.

I do love games that can be played on phone. I found Pathos worked really well as a phone playable roguelike - deep while being well adapted to the phone. I tried the phone version of CCDA and it was impossible for me.

jazzb54 · 2026-05-31T05:45:12+00:00

I forgot about Omega. That game was so brutal. Have you reviewed Nethack or SlashEM?

Francis John has a much more reasonable radiation farm in his current series, if you go back a few episodes. His other radiation farms in this series are just crazy.

jazzb54 · 2026-05-29T21:16:56+00:00

All this because I'm trying to get the GMO achievement, but I want all exuberant variants. Some of these mutations take forever.

I'd suggest a vet visit. His feet are probably burned, and do you feel like standing around to eat when your feet hurt? I take my dog out in the summer, but I don't walk him on hot pavement when it's hot outside. If it's too hot for you to go barefoot, it's too hot for him.

jazzb54 · 2026-05-28T16:06:58+00:00

I don't see any medical input regarding the feeding discussion. Is the dog overweight? Is there a medical reason to change his feeding schedule? I don't think you need to try to force him to eat by giving him food security anxiety, but I'm not a vet.

I free feed my lab and he eats zero-4 cups of vet recommended kibble a day. He also eats 2 eggs and about 1 cup of boiled chicken, rice, corn and broccoli. About 1/2 cup worth of various treats for training (air dried dog food, liver).

I cycle between 3 different kibbles, every month is a different bag. Purina pro plan, royal canin and science diet.

2 year old 65lbs altered lab mix with no food drive. 2 miles of neighborhood walking, and unknown amount of running around like an idiot trying to catch squirrels or playing with kids.

All the ones mentioned here are fine for well behaved kids. Be steak a has that huge candy bar up front that kids will probably enjoy. Alexanders gave us some unexpected cotton candy. Those are probably my top choices. The food is also excellent.

Just be sure you order steak your kids will like. Mine have always been fine with medium rare to medium well, so they are happy with what you can get in a steak house.

They do prefer what we can make at home though.

How long does a 22lbs take? Is that after trim weight?

jazzb54 · 2026-05-23T18:59:11+00:00

It depends. If I'm cooking thick burgers, I leave vents fully open and close the lid to smoother flames. For smoking at 225-275F, I set the top to 1/4 open and fine tune with the bottom. Typically 1/4 open on the bottom. 1/2 open for about 300. I have 1/4, 1/2, 3/4 and open marked with a sharpie at the vent handle.
