I ran the smoker at 300 and pulled it at 135°.  Then let rest for 30 minutes untented in the oven (off).  All done on smoker.

Smoked a 6lb pork loin today and a 9lb brisket.  Brisket is wrapped and resting.  Went ahead and sampled the pork loin. Best one I have made, fantastic.  This stuff is getting portioned and then vac sealed and into the freezer.

I been on a solid one for about the past 10 months.  Think I am about to pull out of it though.

I was asked to cook for a HS Volleyball team dinner at our house this evening.  Smoked 30 lbs of butts over the weekend and will be putting the beans and hot links on this afternoon.  Thought about homemade hush puppies for the group, but they are going to have to settle for Texas Toast and slaw.

How did it go?

Just buy a couple massive bags of ice and dump them in imo

Have done 100lbs before and only dropped it 2°.  Not really worth it unless I had a commercial ice maker at home.  Which I don’t.

Idk why I made them for breakfast but I did.  Made some chopped cheese but put them in split-top hotdog buns so I guess I made chopped burger-dogs.  After the first 2 I decided all toppings should go under the gooey cheeseburger concoction less they go overboard.

Yes I had 3 for breakfast.  Beers were had yesterday and I will neither apologize or explain myself anymore on the matter.

Was 87° at 8:30 this morning.  Swore I was done with outdoors for the day at that point when finishing up Cake & Coffee with the boy then.  But he wanted to swim.  Set up the canopy over the redneck hot-tub when he when down for a nap at lunch.

So was able to keep pool temp at 90° even though it is 103° with a 113° heat index.  That 3’6” monster is my pride and joy that is almost exactly 3 years old.  Also, Scout says ‘sup.

i used a blackstone yesterday for the first time cooking sausage, eggs, pancakes. in this case it was pretty easy to clean. just scrape everything off with a flat metal scraper which gets you 95% of the way there then wipe down with paper towl. then throw a little oil on it, wipe with paper towel all over, and you're done.

Do you find that you need to do that immediately after you pull the food off? I think they look great, but I’d hate to be stuck cleaning while everyone eats.

The best time to do it is when it is hot.  If the surface is seasoned well and kept clean it literally takes 1 minute to do.  I always hand someone the final plate of food coming off to take inside/wherever and immediately clean.  It is not really a time consumer of any consequence unless he griddle is pourly cared fir from the get go.

I have only had a gun pointed at me 2 times in 20 years in a yard.  Once by a cop and once by a homeowner.  I never returned to either property and told my boss at the time to send someone else or pound sand. 

I do have companies quite frequently ask me why a job is not done yet and I asked them why their customer has not returned my call to schedule yet and they say the visit is approved just go dk it and I have to remind them that I never go into a yard until I personally speak with the customer for reasons such as this.

People have gone crazy about what is considered a shootable offense by the homeowner and unfortunately I think our current judicial system support it.

30 hour sous vide at 125 on a beef strip loin roast.  Then 5 minutes fat side down on a gas grill.  The ensuing grease fire from the fat dripping was the perfect amount of sear all the way around.  Did not even have to flip.  When you are at someone else’s lake house 9 hours from home you make do.  This actually came out perfect.

What do you call that kind of fish

We grew up calling them perch.  Have also heard sunfish, bluegill, and bream.  I am sure there is a distinct difference in all of them but they are all perch to me.  I ain’t no marine biologist.
