    Plaster walls? Studs? Lathe? Sounds like my house. How about horse-hair plaster? You got that? And two by fours that measure two inches by four inches which are made of hardwood? Here are the Duroc St Louis ribs I threatened to smoke last weekend. Actually I did smoke them last weekend...

    Finally! The Lunch Thread!

    Boarman's in Highland got soft shell crabs - live - right now. They also have a used stand-up commercial grinder (not a meat grinder, more like a general steel grinder) with two grinding wheels for $400 obo if you're in the market.

    Weight maintainence strategies...

    Yes - my understanding is, you can exercise and work out until the cows come home, but when it's all said and done, it's 75% diet, 25% exercise.

    Best concert you've ever attended?

    Saw Bad Company in Mobile Alabama while I was going to A school in Pensacola. Had to buy the tickets from a scalper. Paid $50 for five tickets. Saw Frampton right after he put out the Comes Alive album. He was playing outside at American University in DC. AU is only a short drive from the...

    The Perfectly Elusive Perfect Burger

    Just got this in my email inbox. SnS is sending out an Ultimate Burger recipe just in time for the 4th of July. SnS got this "burger bits" technique from my post on the Smoking Meats forum which I posted in 2022. They put out a video illustrating the technique in 2024 and now they're sending...

    Boone is the Maki Magician of BGO. I think that's clear.

    Great idea! I've heard of a similar idea, doing it with chicken skin so that it crisps better. I would wonder if there would be more of a risk of the fish becoming dry during the smoke-cook that way, or perhaps becoming too smokey? Still, definitely worth trying out. If feeling brave...

    Yep. That's why I keep my probes in the SnS in position 24/7. Same with the probes in my offset. :D

    Yes, that notch deal seems to be a perfect solution for the probe cables. Lemme guess - you saw that notch idea on tvwbb.com - the virtual weber forum. :D Yeah, the grommet deal doesn't work well for a Weber kettle. It just burns up eventually. So then I went with the SnS cable hole. But...

    Yeah, I definitely think the fishies have an edge on the chips. But that doesn't stop me from buying the chips. ;) I'm not a cheese curl guy. But I'll get a bag just for fun on your recommendation. :D The skin was stuck to the paper bag, so yeah, I threw it away. I did have skin from the...

    So, besides the salmon I fried gently in a pan for dinner, I did some smoked salmon too - this is the salmon which has just become available in the DC area in select stores. The salmon is straight from Alaska via Alaskan Airlines. Wild and fresh Sockeye salmon. Currently available at...

    Best concert you've ever attended?

    Haha Yeah, so they were playing on stage and they had this huge screen with all these psychedelic colors and animations and stuff behind them. So we're watching the concert and they're playing every dreamy song on the Dark Side of the Moon album, of course. And then about 3/4 through the...

    Best concert you've ever attended?

    I was at that one! IIRC, I believe that was their first one on the mall and the best one. Nancy Reagan saved the day! The weather was perfect - clear blue sky, sunny, low humidity. It was a super nice day. We brought beer in - canned Budweiser on ice in coolers. Bottle rockets too...

    Show Yourselves!

    I keep getting these FB memory notifications. The irony is, I very rarely post on FB. Like zero. I just answer and leave messages when I get emails. So here is a memory pic from 2009. From the background, it appears to be a Pez & Huly organized summertime ES tailgate at a Montgomery...

    :LOL: SF1311 is 100% correct. I would say 110% correct but technically, in the real math world, 110% doesn't exist. Actually, I would say 1000% correct if we lived in a different universe. It's not even a conversation worthy of debate, unless we have a time machine. I loved the 1970s...
