  1. Are we down to if it's not rubber, it must be glass? Because I've picked up a couple of perfectly serviceable maple boards for less than $75 I only have one, oversized, HDPE cutting board that only gets pulled out for trimming BBQ. The maple boards have natural, antibacterial properties and hold up well with hand washing and drying. Just have to oil them every month or so.
  2. It was about a 10--12 week wait for mine. But it was worth the wait. And spec'd out just like I wanted it, it still was $1,000 less than anything comparable on the market.
  3. Nice. It reallly is a beast. Did yours come with the slant-baffle? It seems to even out the temps across the pit pretty well. How are you running the stack? I had mine closed off to about 25% open on Saturday and it worked really well.
  4. So I fell asleep on that brisket. When I woke up around 2 a.m., it had cooled a bit. I wrapped it, tossed it in the oven and went to bed. It finished around 6 a.m., and we kept it warm until dinner. Not too bad.
  5. The Fender 400PS should be the starting point. Or the PA100
  6. Did a brisket for tomorrow with some ribs for tonight (and sausage). Ribs were Texas and could've used a bit if a sweet vinegar sauce in the foil. But otherwise we're amazing. Nice and savory. 9/10
  7. Totally missed this show until now. So good. Conan the Red! Conan the Red! That first episode was ridiculously funny. I'm trying not to overhype it in my mind, but it is an overly-strong first episode of anything.
  8. Nah. It probably isn't.
  9. Damn. They proud they beef chips.
  10. One addition: In no small part, Dazed and Confused. Not even supposed to be Austin, but it's Austin as far as a lot of people who flocked there after that are concerned.
  11. I don't like it, but she sang on two songs on the White Album. She still sucks. Thankfully, Billy Preston had more appearances.
  12. Austin is a City, which has died by one thousand paper cuts. One nostalgic one was the closing of the Villa Capri. It was long past its late 60s prime when I stayed there for a week as a 10-year old kid because it was across from the Disch, and I was going to baseball camp there in the early 80s. But it had a pool, and, even 40 years later, I still remember staying there. But that place was a top place back in the day. When Mad Dog & Beans closed: My sister is eleven years older than I am, but when we would visit her at UT, we'd hit up MD&B for burgers, but mostly for the Cookies 'n' Cream milkshake (no drugs were exchanged as far as I know). That place was craft burger long before such a dumb phrase existed. Probably my #1a burger (Hamburgers by Gourmet in Houston was the top-spot contender). Anyway, it closed two weeks after I got to Austin as a freshman in 92. I ate there twice during that short period of time. Porky's Demise, Fries, Cookies 'n' Cream (or mint chocolate chip) milkshake. Perfect. So that 5 years after you got there thing is an average. I'm apparently to one extreme of the curve in some respects. 1,000 paper cuts.
  13. Well, and his album, Best Hits.
  14. Damn. You got the 5th post in this thread. 5th (although, subjectively, George Martin is the fifth Beee-AHtl). But Good on ya, Pete. RIP
  15. Responded with this clip to a post in the TXBBQ thread. At the time, I thought it was a fairly funny to average episode. I don't seem to catch it much on random Seinfeld viewings (lots of those on Saturday mornings). But after decades of Curb, it's such an exaggerated Larry scenario, it hits differently. This could be a real deep dive into George's neuroses. It's really great, right down to the intro business about Steinbrenner wanting a new scoreboard. "Gotta give the big guy what he wants." is so
  16. Yeah, well the jerk store called . . .
  17. Usually a 12AT7

    If you spotted a couple of tourists at one of your favorite record shops, would you find their car, remove the carburetor, show it to them, then throw it in the ocean?
  19. Unsplitting infinitives in real time during conversation.
  20. Take it to the Kansas City BBQ thread.
