  1. What's in it?
  2. With St. Maarten coming back online after the hurricane that wiped out half the island I hear there are some deals to be had. Went last spring and loved the island.
  3. It's probably to mostly sold brand but there are others like Camp Chef that make a good griddle.
  4. Something that I tried last night with our smash burgers was when I flipped the burger, I put a squirt of mustard on the griddle and then put the patty on top of it. Wife said something about it before I started cooking as that is one way that In and Out can make your burger. Not that I'm a fan of In and Out but they came out pretty good. Just a way to change things up.
  5. You must not like money too much.
  6. Dang mosaic virus hit most of my squash and zucchini plants. Had to tear out 3 squash and 2 zucchinis. That left me with 1 plant of each. It hit a couple of plants at the end of last season and apparently laid dormant in the soil. Definitely will plant them in a different part of the garden next year.
  7. My bad...taps fail...
  8. Pos rep for building a carport just for your smoker.
  9. Was down at my hunting land and ran to Lancaster to fill the bellies. Da bruthas out this way said to go to Gator Pit BBQ. Got a loaded baked potato (which is really 2 potatoes) with chopped beef. Didn't disappoint. Looked at some Yelp review pics and their ribs and brisket didn't seem like something I wanted to test out but that potato hit the spot.
  10. Any of you ever heard of leaf cutter bees? Apparently their entire reason of living is to pollinate, unlike honey bees that pollinate as a side when trying to collect pollin to take back to their hive. These bees are very docile and won't sting because they don't have a need to protect the hive or a queen. They stay within 300 yards of their home so perfect for a garden and flower bed around the house. They cocoon over winter and come out when temps are above 80. Got a shipment of 200 bees this past week, put up their house by the garden and they should "hatch" within 21 to 30 days. At the end of the season when it starts cooling off, this year's bees will have laid their eggs into the empty tubes and can be stored in the fridge till next spring. Figured I would try them out. Also the kids will get to enjoy seeing them buzz around without me worrying that they are going to get stung. House and 200 bees for $70 using GYG promo code to get 10% off. Got that from Growing Your Greens YouTube video he had on these bees. www.midasbees.com
  11. You need to go higher or just have it lay on the ground, if you have room. I have 16 ft. cattle panels made into arches that cucumbers will grow up and over.
  12. The benefit is to have a consistent temp across your entire cooking chamber.
  13. I would say it is what is stamped on the cryo as that is done at the processing plant. The Kroger label is just the meat department code that is put in, weigh the meat and price label spits out of the machine to apply to the package. If that was me there, my freezer would be full with them. Not only to smoke,but to grind for burgers and such.
  14. Costco had their prime briskets for $3.99/lb. Typically they are $2.79/lb.
  15. I don't think I have a big enough pot to boil all these at once.
  16. Zucchini finally decided to get going. Picked the first three today, along with squash and cucumbers.
  17. Looking good.
  18. So she puts out. Kids stuff - Fishing for trout at the spillway or other places along the river. There is a swimming hole, but be warned that it is freezing ass cold water no matter what time of year. Lots of hiking trails that are easy to difficult. Each cabin also has an outside firepit to roast marshmallows and some will have a hot tub.There is a go cart and putt-putt golf place at the base of the mountain. Plenty of kid stuff to do. Also, tent a pontoon boat and piddle around the lake for 1/2 day. Find a cove, tie off boat and go swimming.
  19. So you're saying to invest in futures of beef cheeks.
  20. Expert up at Covington's Nursery says that's squash bug damage. I've been seeing some here and there, killing them along the way but no eggs found so I thought I had them under control. The wilted leaves he thinks was some lawn treatment overspray that barely got to it. Time to go full nuke on squash bugs.
  21. Any ideas of what is happening to my zucchini plants?
  22. I do like the addition to the attached cover. I saw a video the other day and he did the same thing as what you talked about in using the lid to trap the heat to help cook things all the way.
