We’ve never cared for a “picture perfect bird”. We have grilled, roasted, spatchcocked, and this year we are smoking our birds. In the end, we carve them then serve out of slow cookers because of the size of our group.

What matters is the company and the food. Sometimes not in that order.

It’ll likely be a fine CUV, but damn that name is terrible.

How have these been in terms of reliability/new model teething issues?

Bonus: That MAPP torch makes a great fire starter grilling.

I grab mine because it’s so much more reliable than stick lighters or fumbling with matches - starts easy, intense heat. I have a MAPP tank that I am just starting to get to the end of after a couple years on grill duty.

Just remember to store the torch/tank

I use my coolers when I’m letting my BBQ rest after pulling off the smoker. GIve them 30-45min, and life is pretty good. Juices redistribute, the temps are likely still rising internally, etc.

If I’m working with something very juicy, I have used a large trash bag to act as a line inside my cooler as well. That way I

Have there been any deals on projectors lately? I’d like to get one for occasional use in the garage for parties to watch movies (thinking for the kiddos to watch Thomas the Tank Engine wall-sized), so not trying to break the bank but want something with decent resolution/brightness for when the adults can

Yes, I know USB-C is the future for everything not Apple, but still...

Not a terrible idea - they’re put together in TN right?
Though that might not be agreeable because then Nissan would have to update the Frontier (which I’m surprised is still being sold as is from what, early or mid 2000's?), I wonder if Merc would agree to it with a platform-mate cheap version (in the Nissan) running

Mercedes has invested a lot into production in the Southern United States, I wonder how much of a stretch it would be to build (or assemble) these in NA to avoid the tax.

Call it a brother from another mother?

The 1600cc VW Beetle I had did have an oil cooler under the fan shroud (I think they all did?).

Am I the only one looking at that thinking, “hey, is that an aircooled VW motor”?

I like where you’re heading. I’ll admit my knife skills (lack there of) has made me wary of cutting up a loin like that, but no better time than now to challenge myself.

Good point. I’ve done pork chops as you describe in a cast iron skillet with onions, and that turned out great.
Maybe I should look towards an apple based injection or BBQ sauce. I’m lucky that we have a great BBQ place down the road that does a great apple BBQ sauce, but I’m trying to learn my own too.

Bonus: Pork shoulder is on sale at the local megamart.

I really want to experiment a little with a pork shoulder. Thinking use my normal rub, but then layer on top some apple slices and some bacon on top (using toothpicks/skewers to hold it together). Wonder how that would turn out in the smoker...

For lighter snowfalls, this should be OK, but it will not replace a bigger machine for heavier snowfalls (depth and weight).

Last year we had a 7in total snowfall that may not be a ton, but the first few inches were slush that turned to some nasty heavy gunk. My gas powered unit did fine (even if I had to take it

Kyle said this Sebring was his friend Gary’s car, and that the last time he worked on Gary’s car, he was swapping out an alternator on a Dodge Caravan when “some how it rolled back an broke 3 of my ribs.”

I went to two different high schools, and couldn’t have been more different.

My first high school was in a smaller community, largely blue collar/farming. The gear heads I would hang out with scraped their money together working in the fields or whatever odd jobs. There were a couple kids with nice cars, but nothing

The rest of us fools with electric stove tops are left out in the pizza-less cold on this :(
