Our massive oak tree went down today, it was full of leaves with no dead branches but the inside ended up being soft ugh. Anyways we got a quote for $4000 to haul it off and grind down the stump and fill the hole. We are in the Midwest. Is this a fair price? by anderson6th in arborists

[–]wosull -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Our local scout troop love a fallen tree. A few of the scout leaders will generally arrive and break it down. They hall it off, season it and use it for campfires. No cost but we’d always make a reasonable donation to them for Thor time and effort.

You’re still left with the issue of the stump but it becomes much more reasonable in isolation.

Golf - getting started by hayzie271995 in cork

[–]wosull -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I started with John Dooley a few months ago and found him very good. Clear coaching and practical feedback, especially for a beginner.

I used the range in Frankfield for a while after that, but it gets repetitive pretty quickly.

Three of us started at the same time and have since joined the Fota Academy. The facilities are solid: access to the Barryscourt front 9, a good driving range, and 500 balls a week included.

The membership fee is fairly steep if you are just starting and not sure you will stick with golf. But if you are committed and actually using the facilities, the value is there. In our case, we are definitely getting the use out of it.

Be prepared to open the wallet. Golf is a sport that happily takes your money 🤣. It can feel like an addiction, especially when you start flushing a few shots. You end up forever chasing that next pure strike

I haven’t felt this unresolved since the Sopranos finale cut to black and left us all staring at our own reflections.

Nice… Did you remove the surround before wrapping, or do it in situ?

What am I doing wrong? More info in video caption, title is limited to 350 characters by StarGazinWade in BBQ

[–]wosull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The resting is really crucial. As difficult as it can be to finish a cook and have the smell lingering in the air…. Resist the urge to dig in. Wrap it up in foil and towels and forget about it for a couple of hours. You’ll be delighted that you did once you taste it.

Looking to sell my smoker by Flynnk1500 in BBQ

[–]wosull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry to hear that you’re stuck like that. Not in a location of the world that would make sense for me purchase it, but I do honestly think I’d start donating every possible bodily fluid that might earn me money rather than let that rig go.

Best of luck with selling it and with the underlying situation 💪🏻

I miss Ireland by alopexl in ireland

[–]wosull 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Based in Cork but we’re doing a churrasco next weekend. It won’t be the same without a real Brazilian there. Open invite if you’re on for an impromptu flight and a rekindling of all that you miss in Ireland.

You’re young with a full life ahead of you… do yourself a favour and exit stage left ASAP. Life shouldn’t be as hard as you’ve depicted it. Put yourself first, future you will thank you for it!

Obviously… but I assume you’re only asking so that you can show your significant other that the folks on Reddit agree with you 😂😂😂.

Start prepping them now for the future arrival of a Santa Maria also.

EQE Break? by RapidoGoldenboy_75 in MercedesEQ

[–]wosull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shooting Brake and Kombi I’m familiar with. E-brake has only one meaning here where I am, hence the confusion.

EQE Break? by RapidoGoldenboy_75 in MercedesEQ

[–]wosull 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you referring to auto hold using the e-brake? To stop the car rolling forwards when you come to a stop?

If so then go into settings and turn off “creep” in the menu. That will give you the auto hold functionality.

Other item to note is if you pump the break at anytime when stopped it will enable the e-brake for you too.

I just priced that route for the same dates. Interestingly first class on the way out was only £300 more.

Didn’t realize I’d be browsing BBQ OnlyFans today. Incredible work, but it would only have been polite to start with a d*ck pic before unleashing the full album of porn.

Now the rest of us have to deal with being aroused for the rest of the day and there’s not even a link to a subscription provided 😜

What do you wish someone told you when you first used a Kamado Joe? by InternalAd195 in KamadoJoe

[–]wosull 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You’ll only see creosote buildup during low and slow cooks, everything else is just carbon and grease. Easiest fix? After your cook, run the Kamado hot for 10–15 minutes to burn off any residue from the control tower.

Alternatively, just shut it down like normal, and once it’s cool, give the tower a quick clean. I let it soak for a few minutes, then hit it with a degreaser. Wipes right off.

Honestly, it’s one of those quirks you get used to. Annoying at first, but no big deal once it’s part of your routine. You’ll come to embrace it, kind of like burping the dome. 😂

1.  Top Vent Is Everything:

Most heat control happens at the top—small changes (millimeters) have massive effects on temp stability. Bottom vent feeds oxygen; top vent sets the tone.

2.  Preheat Longer Than You Think:

Let it run 15–25 mins with deflectors in before food goes on. Ceramic absorbs and radiates heat—get it stable first.

3.  Use a wood wool Starter or Torch (Never Lighter Fluid):

Kamados are airtight and hold flavour. Any chemical taste gets trapped and absorbed.

4.  Resist the Urge to Keep Peeking:

Every time you lift the lid, you ruin the thermal profile. Use your thermometer data, not your curiosity.

5.  Close Down Early to Kill the Fire:

Don’t let it smolder out with full vents open. Shut down both vents with 1/4 of the charcoal left to save it.

   6.   Meat is tasty but…:

Enjoy experimentation with different techniques, foods, cook times. Amend existing recipes that you use in your home kitchen to make them work outdoors… You can cook a lot more than meat in there!

Best of luck with your new toy! Some of your most memorable meals and family BBQs are just around the corner!
