I had one of those for a while. I think it eventually just died, but it was really handy for lighting more coals in a chimney to add to a long-burning fire.

The short version is: brine it, build the fire on one half of the grill, put the bird on the other side with a foil shield in the way. Create smoke-bombs with wood chips in foil and drop those, one at a time, onto the fire. The bird is done in 2-4 hours. It's an Alton Brown recipe that I adapted to a charcoal grill.

Yeah, Trader Joe's has some good hardwood briquettes with all natural binders. I haven't used them yet, but if I need briquettes, that's what I'll get.

And here's the product of a Weber-smoked turkey.

This is the Weber prepping for smoked turkey at Thanksgiving.

This is when I used the Weber to provide the smoke for a cold-smoked bacon cure. Yum!

The Weber is great for grilling, smoking, and even some stir fry. I love it.

One key is using hardwood lump charcoal and a chimney starter to avoid the chemical flavor from lighter fluid and briquette binders.

I also see the needlessly long and specific hashtags #explainingthingstotryandsoundfunnybutfailing

I judge it on a case-by-case basis. I rarely call people, so I don't use that much, but texting, playing music, finding movie times and setting alarms are all awesome applications.

Oh, no doubt. There's good beer culture in several places around the country.

Portland, OR has the most breweries of any city in the world. http://oregonbeer.org/facts/

I highly recommend premarital counseling for all of the reasons already stated.

One of the better tools is called Prepare-Enrich (https://www.prepare-enrich.com/). It is not religiously based, but many religious people use it. Through the website you can find facilitators in your area (at the bottom of the For Couples…

I'm running the tabs for now to see if they get better. The machine learning component of the tabs should (in theory) cause them to improve over time while Multiple Inboxes will only do exactly what I ask them to.

The question is: Is the tradeoff worth the reward?

I've been using the Labs feature: Multiple Inboxes for . . . well, probably since Lifehacker told me about it. I loved how it would allow me to avoid being alerted to non-critical emails so I could keep them unread until I got back to my computer. I was hoping the tabbed inbox would just be Multiple Inboxes in a…

I've tried to go with just deodorant and I sweat too much. Without antiperspirant even an undershirt is not enough to keep me dry. Sometimes I wish that there was an antiperspirant with no deodorant instead of just the other way around.

As they've said, I signed up for the $30/month for unlimited texting/data and 100 minutes of talking. Since additional minutes are $0.10 I would have to talk for something like 1,000 minutes a month to make it worthwhile to go for a different plan. Since I rarely break 200 it's just not worth it.

The T-Mobile plan I'm…

It's probably a semantic disagreement. I would say that the equations belong in the classroom, not in the presentation room.

Sure, you can use PowerPoint to do both teaching and presenting, but I was interpreting the tone of the article (and the tone of Seth Godin's six-word principle) as referring to presentations…

VOTE: Nexus 4

Stock Android, blazing fast, contract free, and on par with a subsidized phone for price. I'm saving $100 a month after my wife and I switched to N4s on a prepaid plan. At this rate we'll self-subsidize in 7 months instead of 24.

If you're there to speak, you don't need more than 6 words on a slide. Even to explain physics principles.

Your PowerPoint presentation has one job: back up what you're saying.

The PowerPoint should not even be started until you know what you're going to say and you've rehearsed it several times over. Once you have the flow of your talk put together then you can start to think about visualizing it.

And that's all the…
