I see what you guys are doing here. Return of the @Pequod has triggered some competitive KK Shopping Channel activity. RFX, Combustion Predictive Thermometer. Get thee away from me, I will continue to guess and hope for the best until.... P.S. Pigs with wings seem like a cheaper option!

It's sunny and about 7C so what better time than to start up the KK. Chicken thighs will be the first cook of the season. Just had this to get me in the mood- Chicken cook coming... Here come the thighs. This was my first time using the 2nd generation of the Combustion Predictive Thermometer. It's slick, it connects to my Wi-Fi so I can see the readings on my phone. I believe it is a little thinner than the RFX and it worked like a charm.:)

That piggy has been with me for at least 71 years. I have an old photo of me in a diaper on a kitchen counter, having apparently climbed up there to get the piggy.

Woo, Hoo! We hit 74F yesterday (this is after 4" of snow last Friday!), so off to the grill we go! Tonight it's Pork Wings. Done @ 250F (w/Guru - I went out to the brewery for a cold one to celebrate while the wings smoked), indirect, hickory & apple chunks in the smoker pot, smoked for 4 hours. Plated with yellow rice (Sazon Tropical) and sauteed green beans.

Very happy with the RFX. Meaters on the shelf.

First tri-tip of the season. Also the first run of my fancy new Thermoworks RFX. Always knew Thermoworks would produce a Meater™️ alternative, and when they did it would blow everything else away. RFX can be used during sear, frying, etc. Keeping the probe in during sear is sweeeeet. Smoke indirect over low (225) heat until 110 internal, then sear to about 120. Perfect medium rare. Oh and…the tri-tip was awesome too.

Simple dinner last night: pork tenderloin with jerk spice, roasted carrots with brown sugar & honey glaze, mashed potatoes, and a 2012 DuMOL pinot noir.
