All Things Brisket
A couple of Turkey Roasters would have been a cheaper and very effective option, but the 24x18 footprint of this thing was hard to pass up. It just slightly larger than a typical mini-fridge.

All Things Brisket
Definitely gave that option and a Turkey Roaster some thought. But this is about the same price as a 30" Masterbuilt electric smoker but is purpose-built for what I want, and doesn't feel shitty in the least. Stainless steel, tempered front glass, 76 pounds, and well-reviewed. I've got it sitting on a table in my garage and don't feel like I've lost any space. It's about the size of a mini fridge. As someone who has bought a meat grinder and a sausage stuffer in the last two months, and an offset in the last year, I don't want to see the look I'd get for another smoker or BBQ-looking item, no matter how shitty, showing up at my front door.

All Things Brisket
A couple of pieces of BBQ for a few hours, the cooler works great, particularly for travel. But this is just easy and purpose made for what want it for. With the offset, I don't cook overnight; for that, I break out the WSM and go to sleep. So if I get a long cook done at 10 pm and want to hold until the next day for lunch or dinner, I can either cram a brisket into a crockpot on warm (works well, but it's a tight fit), put it in my oven on warm, but the warm setting turns off after 3 hours, put it in the cooler, but that's not usually a 15+ hour solution and I end up stacking food on top of other food with plenty of juices in the bottom of the cooler by the end of it. I've gotten to the point where I'm cooking for medium sized groups enough times each year where something easy that holds a lot of food (and I don't have to raid the linen closet for old towels) just makes sense, particularly for the price. Honestly, just being able to crank out and hold the sides for Thanksgiving has me kind of giddy about this thing.

Packed up a couple of the cold-smoked, finished product for a friend. Turned out pretty good.

All Things Brisket
With Thanksgiving coming up, but with an eye toward holding briskets and pork shoulders overnight on occasion so I don't have to time cooks for larger gatherings too closely, I finally pulled the trigger on a warming oven. $260 on Amazon (cheaper than a Yeti). It arrived yesterday. It's pretty robust and seems to be of good quality. Has a built-in water pan and a controllable range from 86F to 185F and a temp gauge. Each of 5 racks will hold a large sheet pan and are removable and height-adjustable. Relatively compact at 26Wx17Dx29H.

These are the same people who say "WAMPUS" and "SO-CO." There's such a thing as being a little too into the whole brevity thing.

I got lazy after the game and just ground and mixed the meat. Stuffed them this morning and will try to get them smoked off later this afternoon.- RIP Diane Keaton

Yeah. I hope they don't screw it up. Looks like it will be good though.- Time for another ‘my dog is awesome’ thread
I skipped dinner at Lucia, State Fair tomorrow, and probably a deal on last minute tickets I can't pass up to stay at home and chill out with the dogs. I'll miss hitting up Lucia.- Killer Balloon Knot

Believe me, a buddy and I stood at the back of the room at that birthday party and made all the jokes. No someone Photoshop Bob Stoops's or Brent Venables's head onto this picture.- Surly Sausages
How do the unsmoked/raw sausages do in the vacuum sealer? I vacuum sealed the ones I cold smoked and they dried out enough to keep their shape.- Killer Balloon Knot
I did not have this on my bingo card for today. This guy was big on the Tyler birthday party circuit when my kids were little. I'm speechless (yet I guess I might have predicted this with a then-20-something balloon artist). https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/party-clown-turned-wife-killer-205206391.html Here he is at my younger son's third birthday party back in 2012. - Surly Sausages
