KJ, or even the BGE, has the capacity to do a long smoke without tending once you get the temp dialed in. Also, rain will not impact the temps as much as a Weber, due to the thick ceramic that creates such a thermal sink. Something to think about if you really love charcoal.

Today was Lynx (plumbed NG) and the pellet pooper. Just took three minutes to put everything back where it belongs.

Bought this 2 lb bone in ribeye on Saturday.

Smoked it in the Traeger until it hit 130 internal and then reverse seared it in a cast iron each side 1 min. Delicious

Someday when I'm settled into a house, I'll upgrade. But I figure if you can dial things in on a Weber kettle, you can do it with anything nicer.

My next BBQ purchase is going to be a Kamado, almost entirely because of Pio's proselytizing.

Chicken/country-fried steak is so damn good. What I love most about it is it's so unhealthy you can only eat like once a year. Some thin-sliced and fried pork chops are great, too.

That zuc was delicious. We're really enjoying the grill topper and just tossing fresh sliced veg in some olive oil and letting them get some smoke the pellet pooper. I had some fresh pesto I made and we smeared the hoagie rolls with that then filled with sliced belly and the veggies. So effing good. Best news is plenty of left overs for tomorrow night's dinner.

I’ve been using that product to age meats for several years and I knew his experiment was not going to yield a positive outcome. Works great for charcuterie. Duck breast prosciutto for instance.

They loved the dry aging on Australian wagyu. I guess it shouldn't be surprising it doesn't work well on **** meat!

It was the 45 days too. I mean, I get prosciutto (a dried meat) in about 28 days. Also, while I like his enthusiasm, his experiments and product tends to leave me meh. Some stuff looks great but mostly it's meh.

I tend to agree. The only thing I have copied form Guga is tenderizing methods.
