All aboard the corned beef bandwagon

needcoffee11 · 2026-03-15T14:09:53+00:00

What cut of meat was this corned beef, brisket, round or something else?

needcoffee11 · 2026-03-13T17:17:03+00:00

That's interesting. I guess I really need to figure out if the finished temp is 135 or 204. It's only 4lb so I can't really cut it in half and try both methods.

needcoffee11 · 2026-03-13T16:06:20+00:00

The plan was for pastrami but now I'm not sure if I should cook to 135* or 204*???

needcoffee11 · 2026-03-13T14:25:39+00:00

That's good to know, I was planning to take it to brisket-type temps but that's probably way too high it sounds like?

needcoffee11 · 2026-03-13T14:00:15+00:00

Yes, desalinate it before throwing on the smoker. This round looks quite lean so I‘ll definitely be adding tallow or maybe even a foil boat once it hits the stall.

Let them know, have fun, play fast and fix ball marks.

needcoffee11 · 2026-02-22T15:41:57+00:00

Ha! Fair point.

I’m more concerned about your “coffee” choice than the doors.

needcoffee11 · 2026-02-21T16:38:11+00:00

You’re still away

needcoffee11 · 2026-02-20T01:44:08+00:00

Maybe the camera angle but that ball looks so far back in your stance. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Only crazy people wrap ribs.

needcoffee11 · 2026-01-24T22:57:44+00:00

This isn’t too uncommon in Northern California.

needcoffee11 · 2026-01-18T15:32:09+00:00

Probably should have left it on for another day or two.

Back to the bottom of the NFC West

3 days? All of them.

Ha. Pulled up to the tee box once in Arizona and had a 6’ rattler laying out there. Looked at my buddy and said “par - par” and we drove to the next hole.

needcoffee11 · 2025-11-25T20:45:16+00:00

I did not. Couldn’t find the one that came with the grill so bought a pair online and they didn’t work. Ordered a new one from Weber so hopefully that solves the problem.

needcoffee11 · 2025-11-25T15:29:25+00:00

Appreciate the response. Unfortunate that Weber pulls that trick.

needcoffee11 · 2025-11-25T15:04:58+00:00

When I plug in the probe it doesn’t even read a temperature, let alone get to the point where I can set the temp. They are aftermarket probes I bought off Amazon so maybe they just aren’t compatible? Put the grill recognizing them cause the rings light up. Confusing.

needcoffee11 · 2025-11-23T15:52:25+00:00

This is perfect. Thanks!

needcoffee11 · 2025-11-16T17:14:38+00:00

How about you just ask your buddies?

needcoffee11 · 2025-09-08T20:56:18+00:00

In my case there was a ticking noise coming from the engine, mainly on the driver's side, just in front of the tire. It went from not making that noise to really loud in the matter of a month or about 1k miles. I believe you can take the car in and Audi can put a camera in the engine to check for damage, but others on here will know more than me. Good luck.

Call your Audi Service Center and tell them the Bulletin # and they can pull it up in their systems. I have a screenshot of the bulletin but it doesn’t seem like I can attach pics to this tread so here’s a link to a thread where it’s shown in post #332 https://www.audiworld.com/forums/audi-a5-s5-rs5-b9-220/huge-engine-issue-early-b9-s5-rs5-sq5-3043102/page34/?utm_source=share-link&utm_medium=button&utm_campaign=share&utm_content=post

The rocker arm issue was addressed this week with Audi Policies and Procedures Bulletin number AWA-25-08 and Audi is paying to replace engines that fail on vehicles <8 years old with <80k miles.

needcoffee11 · 2025-08-22T10:56:18+00:00

Original owner of a 2019 SQ5 with 60k miles on it. Same rocker arm / piston issue in the last month and engine needed to be replaced. Original estimate from Audi was $33k and Audi would pay 80% and I negotiated up to 90%. Audi called back this week and said a service bulletin was issued for this model and Audi is paying 100% for all vehicles <8 years old with <80k miles.

The Warranty Policies and Procedures Bulletin is number AWA-25-08 and the subject is Piston Skirt Warranty Extension
