  1. Me, too! @Poochie - make my own cocktail sauce as well. You can find decent stuff in a jar (Jon gave me some nice stuff in a gift box - sadly not available online), but it still doesn't compare to homemade.

    Searing a steak

    To avoid any confusion, he meant "upper grate" turned upside down, that's what we refer to as the "sear grate."

    Searing a steak

    One trick is to make sure that there's no moisture on the surface of the meat. Blot it off with a paper towel just before tossing on the sear grate (upper grate turned upside down on the charcoal basket handles.) Moisture creates steam, which prevents the browning that you're looking for.
  4. Sadly, I'm getting to the age where all my teenage icons are leaving us.
  5. Very nice. Welcome to the Obsession! Can't wait to see it in action!
  6. Best advice = load up that pallet with as many boxes of cocochar and coffee wood charcoal as it will hold. Cheapest shipping cost you will ever get. I have a tendency to "hoard" my cocochar and only use it on very long cooks - butts & briskets. So a box will last me quite a long time. YMMV
  7. He left out the most-important part - with a cooler full of your favorite adult beverages!
  8. That would be our @Poochie, the encyclopedia of old jokes! 😆
  9. Good criteria! Cheapest ingredient, so why pay for a rub that's mostly salt?
  10. Nice haul! You should be hooked up for a bit with all those!
  11. Looks very functional and attractively rustic.
  12. NEVER fry bacon naked! One of the great lessons in life!
  13. I did a porkchop last night with some of the American Pie that I sent you - it's going to become a house fav here! AND, the tomato on the salad was the FIRST one harvested off my plants this summer!
  14. Naked pizza is one of my favorites! 🍕 😆
  15. My package from @Aussie Ora was delivered today - a LIFETIME supply of Wing Dust!
  16. Yeah, most if us know, but I personally won't use FB. This Forum actually works better for many things like finding old posts/threads. Plus, we don't get the trolls and spammers here. We keep things civil over here, which is the best part.
  17. Never seen either Heath Riles or Elk Creek, Robert. Any specific recommendations? MSG is a non-issue for me anymore. Back in the day, it was because lower-quality Chinese restaurants used tons of it. If a little made the food taste better, then a lot of it would make it taste great! philosophy. That's not the case anymore. It's glutamate, in general, that creates Umami - naturally found in mushrooms, soy sauce. So use a light hand and you should be OK. YMMV
  18. I see that you wasted no time in opening up that new bottle of Gunpowder! Well done, sir!
  19. Poor puppy! Glad that he's recovered, but not so good that he's on those meds now!
