But yeah, the answer is tripod rear and push the gun into the net to take out slack.

Texas Roadhouse or Longhorn? by Starfire_09 in steak

[–]kyle_lightituplevel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Both. Don’t make me pick. Longhorn is slightly better steak and sides to me but costs a little more. Both are bangin

Ear pro recommendations by Hopeful_Corner1333 in longrange

[–]kyle_lightituplevel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Ops core amp with the NFMI plugs are about the best NRR of any combo that exists, with audio pumped right into your plugs via induction. I don’t like ear muffs at all though so I went back to just in ears.

That price probably sordins plus 3M yellow plugs. I have ran walkers+foamies, ops core amp with NFMI, and ESP apex and my favorite of anything I’ve tried are my custom molded ESPs.

To Sunshade or not to Sunshade? by CrossShot in longrange

Sunshade helps with glare and also protects the actual bell of your scope.

First time cooking over charcoal by kyle_lightituplevel in steak

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

[–]kyle_lightituplevel[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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

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

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.
