Could use some tips on that one! Here's the rack on the back of the pantry door. And the rest of the pantry. I can't even walk into it any more!

Seeing as Riverside didn't have them all. Of the ones that they have - Dizzy Dust is a must (either regular grind or coarse), Swamp Venon since you like spicy (unless you want crazy spicy and go with the Ghost pepper one!), either Shaking the Tree or Red Eye Express for steaks, and either Raging River or Pineapple Head if you want one on the sweeter side.

Ding, ding, ding - we have a winner!! At least, at my house. I am stymied on buying new cooking toys, as I've run out of storage space for anything of size in the kitchen! I've even gone so far as to put some stuff in my beer brewing room in the basement, but now it's practically full, too! So, no new brewing toys either!!

Speaking of, Where has Bosco been? He hasn't posted here in eons??? At least Doc, Wilbur and Ken pop in at least every few months.

Going to be fun watching from the sidelines!

Soooo freaking jealous! This was us yesterday! Spring, my Ass!!

Well, that's not much of a concession; most anyone would take ANYTHING over Vegemite!

Can't wait to hear how it finally turns out!

Per their website: Ingredients: maple sugar, sugar, garlic powder, onion powder, thyme, salt, black pepper. When the first 2 ingredients are sugar - yeah, it's gonna be sweet!

You're welcome. They've only been on the open market for a short time. They were over 2 years in development on Kickstarter/IndieGoGo.

I know that it's too late for you Bruce, but for others that want to try Dizzy Pig rubs, they do sell sampler packs! https://dizzypigbbq.com/product/complete-sampler/ I just checked the Works line up - good news is that you get the IPA rub - quickly becoming one of my favs from them!

Dah-ham! And I thought that I had a spice/rub addiction!!

Which is??? Coq au vin, Cassoulet, Bouillabaisse, Pot au Feu, Boeuf Bourguignon??

I've done these several times and they are outstanding, if you can't score any locally. http://www.dartagnan.com/veal-milanese-chops/product/FVEFR002-1.html?cgid=veal&dwvar_FVEFR002-1_freshFrozenWeight=fresh-FVEFR002#start=2 Looks like they do tomahawks, too. http://www.dartagnan.com/veal-long-bone-rib-chops/product/VEAABF021-1.html?cgid=veal&dwvar_VEAABF021-1_freshFrozenWeight=fresh-VEAABF021#start=5

Welcome to the Obsession! You're in good company! Can't wait to see the great reveal and those all important pics of the virgin cook!

As others have attested, the MEATER works well and is the only way to constantly monitor a rotisserie cook, which is why I jumped on it as a Kickstarter (crowd funding). I have intermittent problems with the signal dropping out, but it kicks back in right away without any significant loss of data. Worst case of this was actually cooking a prime rib roast for Christmas dinner at my SIL's house in her regular oven. It just struggled to stay connected and my phone was only 6 ft away. I've never had that bad of a problem with using it in the KK. Go figure?? They've had several setbacks in getting the Block version into production, but hopefully they have most of those sorted out and will be beta testing shortly and going into actual production this summer.

NOPE. I would have been disappointed in you Bruce, if you hadn't gone in whole hog!!

He's got it all figured out - gets the girl, gets to eat FIL's tasty food, and one day gets the KK, too! WINNER!

Yeah, given them a second try and if you still aren't happy, go to CostCo. I just scored 2 more packs of rib caps. They are already trimmed and tied up. And, at $17/lb, a better deal than you got by far!

Used to be a standard in most Pale Ales and IPAs (note: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - a classic!), but with the advent of all the new wacky strains coming from New Zealand and elsewhere, they've kinda gotten shoved to the back of the shelf in recent years. Cascade does well here. I tried growing Willamette, too, but they died after the 2nd winter and I didn't try again. We actually have a startup hop farm about 30 miles from here. They are growing a decent variety - a dozen or so.

Never heard of them, but if Amazing Ribs (Meathead) gives them a Gold Medal, then it must be good stuff. I was a bit shocked at the price, given that the blower and connection are "add ons" to the basic controller. I have a Guru Digi-Q-II that I've owned for almost a decade. Also have the MEATER wireless probe and a couple of standard dual-probe Mavericks.
