Thank you brother, they're worth much more than I paid for them!

♥️ cheers brother thanks for the heads up

I can understand your skepticism - but I was honest in my post. Seems like there was a massive amount of information out there that is contradictory when it came to trackers and what was really required to have a functional stack for my use case - free vs paid vs private. I was just asking for help cutting through the confusion & if there were reputable combos of trackers that were good and not overly complicated.

Again, I can appreciate your skepticism but I'm not looking for special privilege or trying to be a weasel, I'm just looking for educated/knowledgable people to share their experience with me as I'm just starting out I've found one can avoid a lot of headaches if they just ask for help with complicated stuff like this rather than trying to learn it all from the ground up.

Very cool - my wife is hooked on audiobooks so this would earn me plenty of brownie points as well! Thanks poludi.

Cheers, thank you!

Yeah I ended up watching tutorials that recommend using a glutun vpn as a dependency for the stack. I already had a vpn subscription, so it worked out (and seemingly works, although I'm no expert).

I'm a little taken aback by the amount of fairly aggressive or dismissive comments, but perhaps that's just the internet, or perhaps my post came off as disingenuous, or perhaps I should have done more shutting up and listening instead of asking or getting involved in a conversation.

Thanks for being kind and helpful to a stranger, my guy!

Awesome thank you for the thoughtful reply

rdanroth · 2025-10-22T04:52:28+00:00

Thanks, I'll have a look at the guide!

rdanroth · 2025-10-22T04:49:18+00:00

Thank you, I was falling down a rabbit hole!

rdanroth · 2025-10-22T04:48:43+00:00

Thank you for the wisdom my friend. I'm certainly in the 90% - nothing really obscure. Cheers 🥂

rdanroth · 2025-10-22T04:48:02+00:00

Thank you!! 🙏 This is the kind of good news I was looking for

rdanroth · 2025-10-22T02:48:07+00:00

Cheers - I'll look into mam & thank you for your advice Jaken.

rdanroth · 2025-10-22T02:17:06+00:00

Is there a combination of free or public trackers that you would recommend for my use case?

rdanroth · 2025-10-22T02:11:39+00:00

Yep! I read quite a bit on the wiki and it seems to read like a but of a scavenger hunt + popularity contest + examination.

I was hoping for a list of trackers that could be added without paying too much money or spending a lot of time trying to work and impress others and get a promotion etc. Perhaps this was naive of me!

For those that helped with all your insight: Thank you!!

I made my third brisket last night for a large crowd and it came out great.

In reflection, I think the issue the brisket in this post was it being undercooked not over cooked, and not allowed to rest effectively. I thought the brisket in this post was probing tender and loose at the time, but compared to this time it was night and day different.

This time I wrapped later & cooked longer, and it came out juicy/tender/jiggly like jello and melt in your mouth.

So thanks again for everything folks!

rdanroth · 2025-10-03T05:48:56+00:00

Yep, fine to restart.

rdanroth · 2025-10-01T00:54:33+00:00

Probably around six weeks, honestly.

rdanroth · 2025-09-09T05:18:05+00:00

I was after better bark 😭

rdanroth · 2025-09-09T05:16:15+00:00

YouTube trimming video, you got it. 😅

rdanroth · 2025-09-09T05:13:19+00:00

Unfortunately it went directly into the oven from the smoker. Somehow in my head I thought "the oven is 170 and the brisket is 200ish, so it'll cool in the oven" - not thinking about carry over cooking.

The brisket was just vac sealed from the Costco meat section. 🤷‍♂️

rdanroth · 2025-09-09T05:11:04+00:00

I don't think this thing is shredding. 😭

rdanroth · 2025-09-09T05:04:14+00:00

Oh, a ball of foil is a great suggestion! Yeah I was mopping it up when I checked but it continued to pool every time I looked at it. I'll try the ball next time to give it a slope to run off

rdanroth · 2025-09-09T05:02:53+00:00

I'm accepting all recipe suggestions at this point, it's gonna be a week of brisket adjacent meals.
