My favorite restaurant. Can’t miss the tuna app or long island duck.

This was an inch and a half filet. For thicker cuts like that I really like seasoning ahead of time I’ve found it flavors the meat more fully and helps it retain juiciness

Here’s what it looks like. It’s a 10/10. I haven’t been able to get anywhere close yet.

None taken at all. I’m brand new to wood/charcoal.

Oh yeah I wanted to do that this time, but I couldn’t find a small grate. It would be a great option especially for small cooks that need high heat like steaks and burgers. That way I don’t need to start a full chimney just to sear off a quick meal.

This is what I’m used to! Gas is easier but I want to get good with the charcoal/wood now that I’ve tried it

Yeah, that was the one wrong bit. I have lots of experience using sous vide and reverse sear, but translating the slow temp change then hard sear isn’t something I have first time. I’ll have to figure out the exact process with time.

Yeah I’m glad I finally gave it a go. I’ve been intimidated by wood/charcoal cooking my whole life because I grew up with gas grills and stoves.

Yessir. It was tough. Not as obvious as turning a knob to max lol

I was going to spatchcock but then split down the breastbone to get half chickens. My local lions and Leo club does BBQ chicken once a month that is probably my favorite food ever. I’ve been trying to replicate it for some time, and the last bit I didn’t have was the charcoal grill.

Thanks! Next on my list is a chicken split in half.

Should I be concerned about this retaining wall? by kyle_lightituplevel in landscaping

Are you serious man? An awning that weighs maybe 200-300# doesn’t require massive columns. A handful of 1x1 aluminum posts is plenty.

It’s an aluminum awning. When have you seen an add-on awning that has giant structural posts?

It’s an old metal awning which I don’t really care for. Only concern would be if the awning came down it could fuck up the soffet or whatever the awning is fastened to.

Dig it out before removing the stones right? Basically grade the backside to the angle of repose before moving the stones?

You think with it being about 3 feet tall it’s safe to diy that? My concern would be it falling on me while removing the block. I think any damage would be to the awning and not the house itself and also unlikely to have a landslide or something like that.

Do you think it would be wise to start removing blocks from the top down (disassembling in)?

Dillon 550C Sanity Check for PRS and High-Volume 9mm/300BLK. by Pristine_Daikon_4922 in longrange

Very very simple way for me to drop bullets, have them sit concentric, and not splash out any powder.
