Great article on immunity and the necessity of a third shot: https://www.theatlantic.com/science/archive/2021/09/waning-immunity-not-crisis-right-now/619965/

Been vaccinated since February 9th. I've been to several Crawfish boils without fear.

you koda folks. how long does a 10# propane tank last you?
I've done 4 cooks so far, about 7-8 hours of burn time and I'm still on the same tank.

All of your starters will be local starters within a month.
That's an interesting thought. I froze an aliquot from passage 2. I'll have to sequence it along with a sample a few months from now and see how they compare.

Hike SMNP and then get out of Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg to Asheville as fast as possible.
Lock thread. Unless you can count your teeth on one hand Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge is a shit hole. Asheville is awesome and Pisgah national forest is amazing. Concentrate your efforts there.

any of you ooni peeps used it for a steak?
I've been tempted to get the cast iron sizzler plate but as of yet no. I'd be interested in hearing people's experiences using it for applications other than pizza.

Don't know about that retailer, but that is $100 less than I paid.
Me too, but I'm skeptical of that website. It screams a scam site that takes your credit card info and never ships any product.

$6k? I can think of better ways to spend $6k but if you want to print out a bunch of cardboard globes I guess this product is for you. Go for it and report back.

@Anastasis is your ooni gas fired or charcoal/wood? I see one listed that is multi fuel, that might be a cool option too.
I thought about an Ooni pro but the reviews I read are that the pizza cooks so fast and the fires burn so clean and hot that you can't taste the difference between propane and wood. I couldn't justify the extra cost compared to the Koda 16.

I did get one portion of the crust a bit on the burnt end, but in comparison to some of the hockey puck slices I turned out in the beginning these were great. And I don't mind a little bit of char because I am not a pussy.
I just got my koda 16 and I love it as well.
Have you settled on a dough? For dough I'm replicating Varasano's instructions with an Italian yeast starter and it's coming out great. If you haven't read his blog it is a great resource for homemade pizza, especially if you have a high temp oven like an Ooni.

The turning peel is a great tool by the way. Highly recommend.

Excellent points. Several major mfgs have now started making Garand specific loads for the 30-06 to mimic the old M2 Ball ammo.
For those military buffs who want to shoot their Garands, that's an excellent and safe option.
The CMP also sells a line of new production M2 ball from Creedmoor Sports that are used by a lot of Garand competition shooters who don't reload their own.
If someone wants to shoot their Garand, its not a problem any more and can be done without risk to the rifle. (Same goes for 1903 shooters)
You can also buy adjustable gas plugs that allow you to use modern ammo.

Yeah, would like to hear from @Dontshootrude On the Primo - at least the round, 18.5" - there is not much room between the plate and the grate. Like I might be able to fit a 1/4" pizza pan in there.
Sorry it has been a while since I logged on. I use a disposable aluminum pan on top of the deflector plate and under the cooking grates when I'm doing pork butts. I'm not exactly sure how tall they are but they are higher than 1/4". When I fill it with water I'll still have water in it at the end of a 14 hour cook.
You can kind of see it in this pic:

Question. My digi q thermometer i clipped to the grill. I have heat shield. It was reading about 75 degrees hotter than my egg’s thermometer. I know there are fluctuations inside ceramic. But that seems like a lot.
Used digi q for first time this weekend.
I'd trust the Digi q thermometer. You can calibrate the egg thermometer and it wouldn't be surprising if it is way off.

COVID-19 vaccine discussion

Posted · Edited by Dontshootrude
Reading the last couple pages of this thread, I can't help but jump in here. I'm a molecular biologist. I'm happy to verify with the mods, just PM me so I don't dox myself. I have not read most of this thread, so I apologize if what I'm about to say is redundant.
Unless you are significantly immunocompromised, frail, living in a long term care facility, or specifically told to by your health care professional, I would encourage everyone to hold off getting a third shot for several reasons.
1. Efficacy against severe disease/hospitalization/death is still holding up well. The Israeli data that a lot of the panic is based on is a statistical anomaly, discussed in detail here. The vast majority of breakthrough cases in healthy people are very mild. The severe cases are concentrated among those that are extremely frail and with a significant number of comorbidities.
2. We have no high power studies examining the safety of a third shot. I'm at a loss why this would be publicly announced before we had clear data that this is a safe choice.
3. We have no idea if giving subsequent shots will reduce the efficacy of the delivery system. We know this is happening with the adenovirus vector vaccines (J&J and Astrazeneca).The mRNA is encapsulated in a lipid shell. It is possible that the immune system will begin to recognize this as foreign, mount a response against it, and develop memory. This could result in every mRNA vaccine you receive going forward will become less and less effective. This could have really significant consequences, because not only will mRNA vaccines likely continue to be the first vaccines available in future pandemics/health crises, but these also have huge potential to be very effective tools against cancer. To me, it seems like a pretty poor tradeoff to get a third shot to prevent a cold in exchange for potentially limiting your options to respond to significant health issues down the road.
There are several ongoing studies that are examining the efficacy and safety of mixing and matching vaccines. I'm middle aged and don't have any known health issues, so I've made up my mind to not get another mRNA shot or a J&J shot for COVID as long as something crazy doesn't happen like efficacy against severe disease plummeting. The studies I'm waiting for revolve around Novavax. This is a subunit vaccine (injects the spike protein directly) much like the flu shot, and it will mitigate the risks I outlined in point 3. As long as the safety/efficacy data of using Novavax after vaccination with an mRNA vaccine looks good I will be willing to roll up my sleeve again.
And for those that haven't, I strongly suggest you read the article in my prior post. The immune system is a highly complex and dynamic thing. Antibodies alone do not tell the complete story of protection, so don't freak out if you don't have enough antibodies to pay off the Loch Ness monster.
Just food for thought. I'm happy to answer questions.
