    Teach me how to bbq ribs over charcoal!!!

    Closing the top vents or closing them part of the way will also slow down the fire. If you're going to get serious about it, you'd do well to get yourself a cheap K-type wire thermocouple and an LCD reader. You can leave the wire in the grill near the food, snake it outside the grill cover and...

    Teach me how to bbq ribs over charcoal!!!

    1. Agree with the above advice re removing the membrane, temp, leaving a water pan with the ribs. 2. Brine 'em. Soak them for several hours or overnight in a salt water solution, maybe put some molasses in the brine. Then leave the salt out of whatever rub you're doing, the meat is plenty salty...

    Adventures in Home Cobbling

    Worn 'em twice so far, once in wet sloppy conditions. No delamination issues so far, but you might be right that they will delaminate after a bit. Only time will tell, I'll keep y'all posted if there's interest.

    Salad Dressing

    Quick tip: If you crave the thick, unctuous texture of a creamy dressing but want to step up to the upscale flavor of a classic vinaigrette, make it in a tall glass or cup with a stick blender. Start with the mustard, vinegar and any herbs, shallots or whatever. Drizzle in the oil while...

    Adventures in Home Cobbling

    The only question I have is if you can line it up first and trim in advance, then glue it. I considered that. But that method would give me zero margin for error when applying the topy to the shoe; if the alignment was off even a little bit, game over. Since I hadn't worked with Barge cement...

    Adventures in Home Cobbling

    It is interesting you are so concerned with the sole of the shoe and not the upper in the rain. You even said that they are one of your favorite pairs. I am almost non-concerned with the bottom of my shoes as they get re-soled again and again and if you let them dry naturally for a few days they...

    Adventures in Home Cobbling

    Are the rubber sole covering supposed to look that thick? They look really off. The Topys that I have on my shoes are extremely thin. These are 4 Iron, which is 1/12 of an inch. I'm pretty sure you can get them thinner, at least you can get Vibram sheets thinner that you can apply in the same...

    It took about an hour to do 2 pairs, so in the neighborhood of 15 minutes of actual work per shoe. I was working on another shoe while the cement was setting up.

    Adventures in Home Cobbling

    Episode 1: The Topy Like many of you, I have several pairs of shoes. But my foul weather shoe collection isn't comprehensive, and recently I've grown frustrated by the weather dictating my shoe choice. So I decided to put topys on several pairs of my leather soled shoes. Being a DIY sort of...

    Red Wing Gentleman's Traveler

    I understand that GT's run about a half size big, some say more. Does anyone know whether this is specific to GT's, or is it also true of other Red Wing offerings? Thanks.

    Quick, Healthy Breakfasts

    Overnight oatmeal. Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a pot, add 1 cup steel cut oats. Turn heat down, cover, and simmer 15 minutes. Stir in 1/4 cup ground flaxseed if you want. Turn heat off, cover, and let cool on the stove. When cool, transfer to a sealed container and into the fridge...

    Bodum French press

    I like the Aeropress a bit better than a french press. No overextracted nastiness in the finish.

    The Excel Questions Thread
