It's probably discussed up the thread, but does anyone reverse sear method, but sear just on a grill? I'm planning to do that tomorrow and wondered any tips/learnings. Plan is to salt/pepper and then cook in 250 degree oven for 20 minutes (my ribeye) and 30 minutes (her tenderloin) then heat lump charcoal to lava level and throw em on for 30-45 seconds per side.

Chili Cheese Fritos. And also just Fritos.

Love the gold top Casino.... such a cool look.

First I learn you can make candy corn into an actual cob, and NOW I learn you can still get 100 Grands? I need to get out more.

You're not a little anything, Newman.

That's funny, I assumed his girlfriend lived in Canada so that's why we'd never see her. She's also busy with her job because she's a really famous model, just in Canada.

I think this one gets to me because it's really about chasing the dream of being a musician. Close to home and all that...

I would like for us to beat the West Virginia football squad and I believe that we will.

I have the Vision in Orange and really like it. Have yet to use it as a proper smoker although I've done some slow cooked wings and drumsticks and it holds a steady temp nicely. The key is to not let it get too hot too fast which that model tends to do - once you do it takes a while to cool back down. Whatever the recommended vent settings are for what you're trying to do, do about half of that at first. For the money, it's been great.

Mind blown. But still gross as shit. If you used glue to make that cob it might actually improve the taste. I also have to say the fire hot Hot Tamales and the Butterfinger are way underrepresented on this thread.

Dammit, JJ now look what you might be making me do. Anyone want to do a drum run to Tennessee? (PS - note the original owner) https://reverb.com/item/15331219-5-piece-yamaha-oak-custom-2008-silver-sparkle-lacquer

With you on the Oak Customs. Solid wood, solid sound.

Those are nicey nice.

JJ, are Yamaha's birch customs good? I've never played them, but Yamaha higher end drums are, in my humble opinion, the best you can buy these days. I always just think of them as higher end only. Beyond Yamaha, I think Gretsch and Ludwig are great.

PDP are well made by a great drum builder and Gretsch are awesome, as are Ludwig. You might also see if there some Tama kits in that range, but they probably don't have the same resale as Gretsch (nor will PDP since they're very very prevalent and go on sale a lot at GC, MF, etc.) I would avoid Pearl, but that's probably just personal preference and has more to do with mounts/hardware (and to be fair my first "real" kit was a Pearl). It is a lot of hardware and stuff to account for, but once you piece it together, you can start with a base kit/hardware/cymbals and swap and add from there as he continues. Two other things to think about - invest in new heads and in good cymbals. Just about any drum shell can be made to sound good with good heads and a little know-how (or trial and error). Regarding cymbals, the difference between good vs. bad is monumental. And cheap/bad cymbals will literally make you go insane listening to them AND they break. I personally have played Sabians forever, but unless you go to their very top end, you're probably better off with Zildjian - their middle range is as good (or, truthfully, better) than just about anything in the price range. Beyond that, after the starter "set" it becomes more about the sound you like or need to achieve. I've got stacks and stacks of cymbals collected over the years for different purposes, etc.

Looks like none of that beautiful marbling didn't get a chance to really render. Still would, though.

I've done the oven baked with baking powder - really does result in some crispy wings. The key is letting them air dry overnight in the fridge and then bake them lower and slower at first then broil/high heat at the end. Helps the skin render longer. Which reminds me, wings and Horns football primetime games go together pretty well.

So true and about damn time someone said as much.

Know how I know you're actually not gay and also have at least one kid under the age of 8?

It was until the late 80s or maybe around 90/91 - then WnW took it over. Really classed it up.
