    Did you ever know that you're my GYRO?

    Gyros are a wonderfl thing when you can find a good shop, but homemade?!?? I'd beall over what you made and I loved the story and process that went along with it! Nice work!

    Beautiful Sunday here

    We have dined sufficiently. Didn't get a plated shot, but I promise it had some potato salad and pintos on it along with the brisket. The InkBird worked great for me. Lasted the entire cook (just under 11 hours with rest) and the app showed that the probe still have a 67% charge. The signal...

    Show me your poor man's Cambro. What do you rest your meats in?

    This old thing has probably held well over 1000 pounds of meat over the years, won't hold ice, but rests meats well. What do you use?

    Those garlic bombs are great! An Australian friend turned me onto them and I love them. But, as the Aussie told me, you have to eat them with dead horse (ketchup).

    Dunno if I do or not. I usually eyeball it with the peppers and such, but give me a minute or 7 and I'll see what I have in written form.

    WiFi control for electric smoker

    I second the welcome and also the use of the Auber PIDs. I have 3 of them and they are VERY handy, and with the WiFi version, I can sleep peacefully know that it will alarm for hi temp, lo temp, or power loss. I don't do overnights often, but sometimes the summer sausage does get a mind of its...

    That does sound like a great way to spend the day Pozole is a really great soup/stew. Most people turn up their nose at hominy since they hated it as a kid. Well, more than likely mom didn't follow the 3 word guideline to hominy, RINSE, RINSE, RINSE! If you don't rinse it before adding it...

    Well, the pozole was a hit. The bride loved it and the neighbors devoured it. Garnished with cabbage, radishes, and white onion. Butt ugly picture, but then pozole isn't a real pretty dish.
