    Well, after all of these years, I finally did it.

    I put WeatherTech in my '16 Challenger about 5 years ago. They were fine at first, but now there's a 3/4" gap on the side. So it's shrinking, or something, I dunno.

    Damn dishwasher....

    Gotcha. Thanks, Steve.

    It did it again… smoker failed mid session. Throw in oven or throw in trash? (Internal 110°)

    I have had butts at 225° go between 8-14 hours. At 300°, I think the longest one was 5 hours, but it was pretty big.

    Damn dishwasher....

    This is the one I was looking at. I have limited space in my condo laundry room, and it seemed like a solution to replace the cheapo apartment w/d combo I have now. Not sure how ventless works, though...

    No, I don't wrap butts during the smoke. I meant you wrap in foil and rest on towels in a cooler for a few hours afterward. Never go by time. You can guesstimate, but always go by internal temperature (200°-205° or so) and how soft it feels when probed. Every piece of meat is different.

    New Recteq Smoker/Dry Brisket

    I think we've all had a dry brisket at one time or another, even following the same procedure with each. I just blame the cow. I know it sounds counter-intuitive, but the juiciest briskets I've ever done were after dry aging for 60 days. I don't know the alchemy of it, but it works. First one I...

    I was looking at that one at Costco. Would love to hear what you think of it. I think GE makes a similar model. You can IM me here.

    Damn dishwasher....

    The condo I bought came with a brand new Bosch dishwasher, similar to the one pictured on page 2. I love this thing! It's so big, it takes me a week to fill it. And I can barely hear it running.

    This time of year will never be the same again.

    So sorry this happened to your wife and you. I can truly sympathize, as a good neighbor whom I grew up next door to, and was like an uncle to me, did the same several years ago in a very violent manner. It's hard to wrap your head around, even when you knew they were in pain. Give yourselves the...

    Bread looks good from here!

    It did it again… smoker failed mid session. Throw in oven or throw in trash? (Internal 110°)

    Our website host, Jeff, turned me on to smoking butts at 300°. Takes about 4-5 hours that way, and no noticeable difference in texture or flavor.

    Well, after all of these years, I finally did it.

    They let you have something that big in California? Congrats, man! That's a beauty, for sure! You're going to have a lot of fun in that!

    Featured It's all fun and games until your kid decides she's coming for your crown.

    Love it!!! My (grown) kids aren't really interested in smoking, but they'll happily eat anything I make. My son decided to make a layer cake for Christmas, and used a full box of cake mix for each 9-in. round pan. Then panicked when he saw them overflowing. Geez, kid. Read the back of the box...

    Had fun watching the Falcons beat LA last night. Seahawks and 49'ers on Saturday!

    Bacon Pellicule Dillema

    I would have used a fan, but that's something that didn't make it in the move. I'll have to see about getting another one. I ultimately smoked them for 3 cycles, the final one getting the IT to 120°. Then wrapped in plastic, and into the freezer. I'll probably slice this weekend, as I already...

    Bacon Pellicule Dillema

    Yeah, there's no heat airflow w/o smoke in a Recteq. But things still seem to be progressing well. This is 3 hours in. The IT hit 100*, and I've shut it down. I'll let it cool with the lid open until the IT goes back down to 40*-ish or so, then start it up again. Shouldn't take long, it's still...

    Bacon Pellicule Dillema

    Surprise, surprise! Woke up to a little snow this morning. Got the bacon on the Recteq. Keeping the door cracked hasn't really been working, so just going to let it get to 100* IT, then let everything cool down and start again. Might try my smoke tube inside it, if I can find my lighter...

    I think Taylor just wears him out. Remember when your high school football coach would tell you to stay away from your girlfriend the night before the game?
