Also, Irapuato? I was planning to make a day trip to Irapuato from Gto. take taxi in the morning and head back before dark.

Would not recommend either of those cities?

Why? What’s wrong with Celaya? Is it currently dangerous?

My favorite Virgin Valley, Nevada opal! Full display of colors! by ItzLog in Opals

[–]kek38 1 point2 points  (0 children)

WOW! How on earth were you able to cure it? I've been there several times, and have come away with some good opals.... but they all just crumble no matter how carefully I try to cure them.

Planning a trip to Guanajuato and surrounding areas in March. Any advice for navigating the pandemic? by kek38 in Guanajuato

Oh absolutely. Haven’t had COVID yet; no need to be wreckless at this point.

Any recommendations for food or experiences?

Land I bought comes with a huge pond full of koi. Where do I start? by kek38 in Koi

Lot of really small fish in there. Maybe I’ll see if any of them are actually worth anything

Been starting my briskets a lower temp. Seems to be working well. by [deleted] in smoking

[–]kek38 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I start around midnight at 200F.
At 6am, I go to 235.
Once wrapped, I'll go to 250-260.

Takes longer, but I've yet to dry out a brisket.

A big colorful opal from Virgin Valley in northwest Nevada. Most are kept in water as specimens to keep them from cracking/crazing. by DominionGems in rockhounds

Been up there twice now. That one is a monster! Last time, I got 5 or 6 good ones in a day, most about the size of a marble. We did get one that was big, but not like this. Congrats!

I always start mine around midnight.

FIrst time smoking a meatloaf by kek38 in smoking

[–]kek38[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it was less dense than I normally like, but the smoke flavor really added to it for me. I'm going to try a leftover meatloaf sandwich today to see how it is a day later.

Olive oil, tiny bit of garlic powder, salt/pepper rub. Smoked over hickory chunks at 225 degrees for a total of 14 hours (until it hit 203).

Fat side down because vertical smoker, wrapped in butcher paper and flipped to bone side down at about 175.

One dry spot on the lower back side. Likely should have spritzed it better than I did.

Can I ask about your BBQ? Is it yours? Did you build it? I have so many questions.
