While I like just about all of them, and love a few, there are a couple that I think are just "meh." The Crossroads did do much for me as a "classic BBQ rub." And, I have much better stuff to do Jamaican jerk than their rub. Haven't made up my mind yet on the Peruvian-ish, but I've only used it once so far. Jury is still out on that one. YMMV

Crack one open for men while you're at it!

The splitter for my 23" came with a half-moon grate that can be used to further split the basket into a quarter size. I have to admit that I've never used it to date.

I usually don't use mine except on rotisserie cooks, which are never more than a couple of hours, so not a big deal for me. The app runs in the background, so you can use the phone/tablet to do other things, it just anchors you physically to staying close to the probe. I can sit at my dining room table and use the phone while running Meater on the KK on the deck. YMMV

I hear yah! This was yesterday here! If we're lucky and the Weatherman is correct, we might see temps in the 70s in a few days. Just a teaser though, as we might get more snow on Sunday!

I can't resist a Sale, so a lot of what's stashed in there are duplicates. Even if I have a bottle of something already, if I can get another one for 25% off - SOLD!! The solution to my problem might have to be my next box of goodies to Aussie and You!

That's OK as long as he still has the "triplets."

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!
