    I realized I didn't have any pics because I put them all on snapchat, but I recently tried smoking a couple of chuck roasts I had leftover from a 1/4 cow I split with my brother, on my Pit Boss.

    Basically, I treated them like brisket until the wrap.Β  Then I set them in a roasting pan with some beef broth and wrapped the entire pan.Β  In one pan, we tossed in a jar of pepperoncinis and their juice along with dry Italian dressing herbs.Β  I accidentally punctured the traditional pan when I was adjusting the probe, so I ended up leaving it wrapped in foil.

    Both roasts turned out really well, and shredded up excellently.Β  It had a lot of brisket's flavor profile, but wasn't identical.Β  It was about a 7 hour smoke, and I really thought given how much cheaper chuck roasts are and how high quality of a product it ended up being, that it was a great brisket substitute when you don't feel like investing the time and money but still want a product that's 90% as good.

    I do something similar except I cut an onion into about 3/8" rounds and put on the bottom of the steam pan and add Hatch chiles.Β  Barely cover the onions with beef broth and put the roast in and wrap tightly with aluminum foil to braise.Β  After the cook, I strain the solids out of the liquid in the pan and put it in a container in the fridge.Β  Remove the fat after it solidifies on the top and you've got a damn good au jus or gravy base.

    regarding temp controllers; which one is the recommended model, and, if a guy were to upgrade to a '22, could the temp controller be removed from the 18 and switched over?Β 

    I bought the DigiQ BBQ Guru and have been happy with it.Β  Yes, you would just have to switch the vent port, that's all that is attached to the WSM.

    I'm totally not complaining about that scene in the movie, but I can't figure out what the gratuitous nudity did for the story.

    It allowed us to see Catalina from My Name is Earl nude.

    One of my best childhood friends fits this thread perfectly and I've watched his journey into being a 34 year old virgin.Β 

    Β 

    1.) He was overweight as a kid so he get zero attention from girls and he had zero confidence

    2.) Continued being overweight in high school and focused on playing football (OL of course) so much that he never went to prom or on a date

    3.) Got hung up on a girl in college that is way out of hi league and never moved on until graduation

    4.) Got hit on by an ugly slut in college and didn't pursue her for even a night because he felt some sort of chivalry towards said out of league girl who barely knew his name.

    5.) Became an adult and got hung up on another girl out of his league who did text him back but anyone who wasn't an incel could tell she wasn't interested by the way she responded.

    6.) Continue gaining weight until he is 5'9" 300lbs

    Β 

    My wife and I set him up with a friend and we doubled with them for his first ever date (he was 28) and it went well enough that the girl wanted a second, but the girl we set him up with had a similar body type to him and he rejected that instantly and never called her back. Now he's a grown ass man at 34 and his prospects are incredibly dim because he's been on one date in his life, and he has no idea how to treat an actual woman if he were to accidently go on a date again. The poor bastard has his bedroom in his 1br apartment completely decorated in a 7th grade male all sports all the time aesthetic. He has never read a book in his life and can't really talk about anything other than sports or action movies. He doesnt travel because he doesnt want to go alone so he'll only go out of town to sporting events with others. He refuses to use dating apps because of his confidence being 0 and says he would never date a woman with a kid.

    Β 

    This dude has a college degree, has been a teacher for over a decade so he makes alright money (relatively to some other incels), and he's a really nice guy so some woman would assuredly be ok with him being a bit immature in tastes as a grown man. He just doesn't give himself a chance and I'm sure there are plenty of other incels that fit into his category that just don't really know what to do or where they fit in society.

    I have a friend that is in much the same mold, other than the football part.Β  Overweight dude his whole life, crushes on totally unobtainable hot girls, and ignores any overtures from chicks that are more in his league.Β  We were talking at the bar one night about a girl that had made it plainly apparent that she was interested in him and he says, "I don't know, I'm just not attracted to her."Β  I respond, "Who the fuck are you to go around turning down pussy?"

    He was big into cars, at one time he bought a BMW 5 series on the theory that it would attract women to him.Β  It didn't.Β  In his mid-40s, he owned a Lexus sedan for his daily driver and an absolutely cherry Porsche Carrera.Β  He goes out to Vegas with a couple of our other friends, comes back and is recounting the Vegas trip to me.Β  The highlight of the trip for him was paying 2 grand to drive a Dodge Viper a few laps around the Vegas Motor Speedway.Β  I'm like you paid 2 grand to drive a car when that would have covered an A level call girl?Β  Dude, you own 2 cars and have zero pussy.Β Β
