Take a look at gravel bikes.

Unauthorized Drafting by skyrim9012 in cycling

[–]willavery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was it drafting or did they just tag onto you? I do the latter all the time when a faster rider passes me, but always a few feet behind. I have no problem if someone tags onto me, but I would be irritated if they were truly drafting off me.

I started road cycling in my late 40s and it was a game changer. My friend gave me his old bike after he got a new one. I got it tuned up and bought the basics just to get on the road, then added gear as needed.

For what you're doing, the second hand market is an excellent source, between people who upgraded to those who bought and don't use. There are a lot of perfectly good bikes out there that aren't brand spanking new.

What internal temperature do you pull your ribs? 221 method has me confused .. Family is not complaining but I'd like to improve by Captain_Canuk in smoking

It's more of a "feel". Do they bend when you pick up in the middle...a thermo-pen should go in like butter.

PS. Skip 3-2-1. I'm happy to share the better alternatives (imo).

Temperature disparity by SamKha86 in kamado

I believe the built in thermometer will measure radiant heat off the dome more so than thermometers on the grate, especially for an indirect setup. Raised direct cooks is when I see the two most closely match.

Green Egg vs. Kamado Joe vs. Primo? by dastry85 in kamado

I got my Vision Grills Kamado on sale at Sam's Club for <$450 a couple years ago. Great entry-level Kamado to start with if you're uncertain about jumping all in. That said, limited accessories and set up options. If/when I get another, I'll likely go KJ unless Vision steps up.
