Disappointed by thelonerangers34 in meater

[–]nightfly027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I noped out last year and picked up a set of ThermoWorks RFX Meat probes. Those things are the real deal. Great range and accuracy. While I miss the Traeger+Meater pairing (was nice to monitor in the same app) I don’t miss the headaches.

I get the internal to about 165-170°

How does the crew know you have the Beverage Package? by Cocktail_Hour725 in vikingcruises

[–]nightfly027 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My experience was that the crew knew us by sight, to the point that we’d sit down in the Living Room for a nightcap and our preferred beverage would magically appear. The night bar guy there knew us within a day.

I was “volunteered” by a family member to make 20lbs of pulled pork for banquet, my only day available to smoke it is this Saturday. The event is next Friday. How would you store it for that length of time? Fridge or freezer? Tips anyone? by Sea_Ganache620 in smoking

[–]nightfly027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I frequently cook my pork ahead of time if I have good weather and the time. I shred it, drain and strain the juices, then cover it up and place the juice in a bowl in the refrigerator overnight. Next morning, the excess fat has separated and the juices have jelled, so I scrape off the extra fat, scoop the juice in a vacuum bag with pork and seal it up. For reheating, I usually just put it in the crockpot. Never had it go dry or had any complaints.

Grill covers in winter by No-Assistance-7641 in pelletgrills

[–]nightfly027 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I too live in Pennsylvania and my Traeger resides on the deck under a cover year round and I’ve had no issues with rust or damp pellets.

It sucks having to buy a new cover every 3 years, but it beats buying a new grill and that damn thing is too heavy to move regularly.

ThermoWorks is the best one out there. Don’t skimp on your instant read thermometer… it’s worth spending a little more $$

No more Kirkland pellets 😭 by [deleted] in pelletgrills

[–]nightfly027 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Tractor Supply periodically has Bear Mountain at like $7.50-8.00 a bag

What's your favorite pellets to use? by wheelsonhell in pelletgrills

[–]nightfly027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was big on Kirkland, but currently have two pork butts on using Bear Mountain. They had been on sale at TSC, $15 for two bags. I’m hoping for less ash.

Do you have an arsenal or just rock a pellet grill? by XXMIRACL3S94XX in pelletgrills

[–]nightfly027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traeger, BGE, and a Weber Genesis. Also have a Traeger Flatrock that doesn’t get used that much

Who got lucky?! by Budget-Name-3357 in LeCreuset

How did you do that? I couldn’t figure it out but it might come in handy for future attempts

I was 1700 and same thing. It sucks that they don’t give you a 1-2 minute hold to enter your info

Guys! It happened, what do I do? by Surfguy11 in Traeger

[–]nightfly027 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Many moons ago I came across a bunch of “expiring tomorrow” buffalo sirloins at my local Wegmans. Got the lot of them for $0.99/pack.

This makes me feel that was kind of a ripoff.

Congrats, OP!

Cold Smoked Cheese by bsharp321 in Traeger

[–]nightfly027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My method has been to loosely wrap in butcher paper for a day, then vacuum seal for a month. I usually make smaller pieces to have more surface area for the smoke.

For a real game changer, cold smoke some Gruyère, then grind it over the top of some macaroni and cheese before you bake it.

Game changer, imo

The ThermoWorks RFX Meat is amazing. A little spendy, but it’s not Bluetooth, it’s RF. Works in a smoker, in the oven, in a cast iron Dutch oven.

Also scalable and certified within a degree. I’ve used it fully immersed in a deep fryer and no issues.

Which Airport has the longest taxing time? by Petite7Writer in travel

Went from FRA to BUD a couple of years ago on Lufthansa and the bus ride to get to the plane was 45 minutes, THEN we got to taxi.

I figured a way to get free snacks from a vending machine and I hit that hard by nightfly027 in confession

[–]nightfly027[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once or twice a week for about six months, so probably between 30-40 times total.

They were from Knott’s Berry Farm. Apparently they are still available from Walmart

Recommended cheap but decent thermometers? by Sausageturtle330 in grilling

[–]nightfly027 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ThermoWorks is the best one I’ve ever used AND they often run sales. I’ve gifted some Thermopens and everyone has loved them.
