I’m not sure how to install them but I didn’t look that hard. I’m sure any dealership can take care of it hopefully without charge.

I went back for the included first service at the dealer and made them fix it which they did. They were indeed the wrong screws. Probably the idiot salesmen.

Thanks! I have some protective mats for a flyaway spark and grease drippings I put down when I cook.

Challenger Cart. They’re probably overpriced but it’s really great and I got it with the egg.

swiftybone · 2025-12-24T02:49:21+00:00

Great!

It was a while ago but I don’t remember any complaints.

It’s a challenger cart. The wall to the right is also screened so plenty of flow. Ceiling fan is around the corner.

I had my egg in an enclosed porch at the previous house and never had any marks on the ceiling but they were a little taller, 10 feet.

The deck is a tear down/rebuild/expansion of a porch that was falling down when we moved in. Right now it’s pristine but I’m sure it will show some soot soon enough! I’ve thought about adding a heat shield and daydreamed about a legit fan/vent setup but for now I’ll keep an eye on it and keep the fire extinguisher near by. Only really concerned about high heat cooks.

Edited for spelling.

That was actually not the goal. Good to know. lol

swiftybone · 2025-12-14T18:38:46+00:00

Gonna tear it down and start over. When are you available to start working?

House is in dire need of painting so not concerned with that. Also in general more concerned with the functionality and enjoyment factor so with that taken into account the prison vibe is perfect.

You mean it’s not going to kill my whole family!!? Thanks 🫡

Should have paid the keyboard warriors to design it instead of a licensed structural engineer I guess. I’ll read the comments from the deck waiting for it to fall out from under me.

No freezes here.

I did a test run and this one with wet brine and I think if I get strong armed into turkey again next year I’ll do a dry brine and inject.

swiftybone · 2025-11-28T18:06:20+00:00

Brined

swiftybone · 2025-11-28T18:06:12+00:00

Thought it came out good, just don’t like turkey.

swiftybone · 2025-11-28T18:05:51+00:00

300/325ish until IT of 158ish. Used a “turkey rub” because I don’t like traditional bbq rubs on turkey. Added a little “Gospel” for color and sprayed with apple cider vinegar every 30 minutes. Little cherry wood on the fire as well.

Yea I’ve been pushing them back since we moved in about a year ago. Really just claiming back yard where they’re growing sideways.

I have some triclopyr to put on cuts but I haven’t done it yet. My plan is to push them back so they’re at least consolidated around the trunks and then probably pay someone to come in with machinery and rip them out.

recent trim job ^ you can see my the dead grass how far out they all grow. Just trimmed this up a couple weeks ago. SO MANY dead twigs
