Would anyone out this way have an interest in a really old Jumbo Joe? It has some "issues" so I would have no idea of it's value. But it's one of the originals from when they were first introduced. It is the kind with the 2 large vents on the side no bottom vents. So supposedly safe to use on a...

So had a taste for some ribs. But no time to actually cook them thanks to the weird weather. Plus I was at one of our really nice local meat markets here in Rockford IL called https://www.countrysidemeat.com/ nice people, and they make daily lunch specials. Today's was a very nice BLT on artisan...

So, one weird thing that seems to have changed with me on this Mounjaro/weight loss journey. No real taste for alcohol, but love sparkling water. Even the budget Kirkland sparkling water is getting a little $pendy. HAs anyone used one of these Sodastream or other carbonation machines? If so...

Bought a package of wings at our little local market. Got 'em all rubbed down with Killer Hogs Hot Rub, on the MM at Super Smoke P2 for 40 min then I will crank them up to 390 or so to finish and crisp up. Smellin pretty darn good over here t/night

Hard to believe since I am enjoying a somewhat warm and rather humid breeze today, that 5 years ago my daughter and grandson made this in the back yard

So, one thing I found that has been truly handy in helping me work on the Kubota (thanks to it's 2 channel frame design a regular jack did not "cut it") has been this Craftsman Motorcycle jack. My only gripe with it is it weighs nearly 90lbs and is very long and unwieldly. Making it VERY hard...

So just saw an ad on FBM. Person selling a Pitts and Spitts and including a "Fireboard". I think I have heard that term before but don't know what it is. Is it an add on controller, or is it the full controller?

I am doing a pork shoulder tomorrow but I bought a 2 pack of the boneless ones. I tried the boneless version once before but found they did not work that well because of the large "flap" on top of the location above the bone was difficult to deal with. Thinking I am gonna tie it up. Anyone else...

Last night wife brought home a nice package of large chicken wings from our local Cattle & Cream shop (love that little shop). So I hit them generously with some Killer Hogs Hot BBQ Rub. Got them on Big Z at 180 for about 40 min to get nice smoke than cranked it to 410. I never opened the lid or...

So pudding is one of those indulgent things I find don't bother my blood sugar too badly, but I've been wondering about something better. Since even the Jello stuff you "cook" is a chemical s&*t storm in a box. So, I found a recipe to make actual pudding. Wife and I modded it slightly, and we...

Had the Kubota out for the first lawn cut today. I came up on 999.9 hours so I had to run the last 1/10th on video for the 1000th hour.

Ever wonder what happens if you leave your battery powered magnetic LED worklight in your grill and run it up to 430F? Take a gander. :D The best part? It STILL WORKS!

Well, Member's Mark is warming up. Gonna try frozen pizzas in it. I have a Belladoro from Kirkland thin sausage and a Detroit Style cheese pizza bread. Both say 425, similar times, only the Detroit thing says leave in the pan. So I will. Wish me luck! This is a first

Well after 7 years I canceled Sirius XM. We've got Android Auto head units in both cars, I use Pandora and have their $5 month service "true" no commercials, unlimited skips, download play lists, very pleased plus I can make my own channels so I can listen to more of what I want to listen to...

Got a whole bunch of great photos of the raptu..............err I mean eclipse today These are just a few I've edited to view better. I will share more L8R FWIW I have a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and these were shot on "pro" mode by lowering the ISO, using about 1/250 shutter speed and shooting...

A bonus find while rummaging my big freezer yesterday. One of my 1.5" NY Strips prime. It went on Big Z yesterday eve. 220 and smoke until it hit 105. Then pulled and foiled until Big Z got cranked to 460 deg. Got it back on for a nice crust. Pulled, rested about 5 min and tucked in. Oh BOY was...

Snowing hard and heavy snow predicted this afternoon through tomorrow. As if the monsoons we've been having the last few days wasn't enough!

Well a nice scoring of the fat cap, a binder and liberal seasoning of good ol' S&P the 7.5 Boneless Rib roast just went in the Member's Mark. Forecast of rain, so could not take chances with Big Z. Much as I wanted to use it. So MM put to work. Pellets are Smoke House Oak/Hickory 50/50 blend...
