How many of you use the pellet grill/smoker as your primary grill? I just moved into a new place, and hoping I can get by with a single device, at least in the near term. Right now I'm leaning heavily toward the Recteq 590 and would probably add the sear plates.
Only use the pellet here. As mentioned above, I did use a gas grill to sear steaks (reverse sear - smoke on the recteq...mmmmmmm), but now have added a bullseye to take searing over as well.

I’m thinking about getting a Rec Tec bullseye, I like that you can set it on riot mode to get it to 750 degrees for searing steaks also.
I've had an rt-700 for a few years now (3? 4?), and picked up a bullseye just before Christmas. I had an old gas grill with a sear plate that I used for searing steaks - and nothing else. With the bullseye, I'm donating the gas grill to my BIL.
The bullseye is fantastic, and will get damn hot, for sure. I have had a couple of issues with it not wanting to fire up, and I had to clean out the fire pot before it behaved. Nothing major, but not something I've ever seen on the rt-700.

I doubt that. The Russians and Chinese have had little military coordination. The Russians have no training in advanced Chinese post soviet tech. it be like us dropping off a Patriot Battery in Khiv. They wouldn’t know how to use it in connection to their other equipment and coordinate.
My guess is the Russians need basic supplies so bad they are willing to sign away the rights to all sorts of mineral, grain, and oil concessions to get it.
And, of course, Russia will promise to fully support China when they "liberate" Taiwan... 😠

Meh. Shit like this happens all the time. Unless there's a Russian tie in I'm not sure I see where the escalation occurs.
Early reports say this might be a little different...not just small rockets launched from nearby, but 6 ballistic missiles launched from an Iranian missile base. Just what the world needed right now...

Looks like multiple bidders so far, but no one (according to sources) has reached Abramovich's valuation...
SpoilerRoman Abramovich has received multiple bids for Chelsea but none have yet matched his £3 billion (3.94bn) valuation, sources have told ESPN.
Potential interested parties have until March 15 to submit offers to the New York merchant bank Raine Group, appointed to handle the sale of the club.
- Olley, Marcotti: What does Abramovich sale mean for Chelsea?
- Don't have ESPN? Get instant accessSources have told ESPN that a consortium including Los Angeles Dodgers and LA Lakers part-owner Todd Boehly alongside Swiss billionaire Hansjorg Wyss have already tabled a bid in an effort to push ahead in the race.
Although the exact amount of their offer has not been made public, sources have told ESPN it does not meet Abramovich's asking price for the reigning world and European champions.
Boehly had a £2.2 billion ($2.89 bn) offer rejected in 2019 and is thought to believe the club has not significantly appreciated in value since then, given the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia's invasion of Ukraine, which has put Abramovich under pressure to reconsider his investments in the west.
Turkish businessman Muhsin Bayrak has claimed he submitted an offer "under £2.5bn ($3.29 bn)" and remains in talks while there is also rumoured interest from the Middle East but as things stand, more credible bidders to Boehly's group are expected to originate from elsewhere.
Sources told ESPN last week that RedBird Capital Partners, the Manhattan-based private equity company founded by Gerry Cardinale and advised by Oakland Athletics executive vice president Billy Beane, are one of a number of US-based groups assessing the feasibility of a bid.
There is speculation US businessmen Josh Harris, part-owner of the Philadelphia 76ers, and New York Jets owner Woody Johnson are separately considering entering the running. The Ricketts family, who own the Chicago Cubs, have been named as another interested party.
British property developer Nick Candy is also weighing up an offer at around £2.5bn ($3.29 bn) with his spokesperson confirming he is "actively exploring a number of options."
However, no party has expressed a willingness to pay Abramovich's asking price for several reasons, not least the difficulty of redeveloping Stamford Bridge -- a complex project in one of the most expensive parts of London anticipated to cost in the region of £1.5bn ($1.97 bn).
The March 15 deadline is also significant as it is the day the UK government will be able to impose tougher sanctions on high net-worth individuals with any links to Russia or President Vladimir Putin.
Emergency legislation known as the Economic Crime Bill aims to crack down on foreign criminals using UK property or assets to launder money. Abramovich has always strenuously denied any ties to the Putin regime or any business impropriety but he has faced calls from a number of MPs including Labour leader Sir Keir Starmer to face sanction.
It is unclear at this stage whether Abramovich would be targeted by this new legislation but the possibility adds an extra urgency to the pace of negotiations over Chelsea's sale, which sources claim some interested parties believe could push him into accepting a figure below his £3bn ($3.94 bn) valuation.

I see what's right in front of me. I take it all with a grain of salt. I damned well know that Russian military action is inflicting real losses on an outgunned Ukraine.
But regarding what you are.....I've seen it for a long time. With respect to you, with respect to Brexit, with respect to Russian dezinformatsiya regarding American politics, vaccines, etc.
You are aligned with the dezinformatsiya on EVERY. SINGLE. ISSUE.
I've been around too long to believe in coincidences.
I wish I had enough clout to rep this post. I see the same thing...

Oh sweet HS nostalgia. I feel the same way sometimes but with cocaine and regret instead of Coors LightBeast Tallboys.
Fuck the world.
Anybody else have to scrape the bottom of the barrel and get that H-E-B (?) brand beer ‘Sportz” circa the 90s? It came in a fucking textured can and was like $8.99 for an 18 pack? It tasted like stale, warmed over bum piss? It was discontinued in the late 90 but damn, it should have come with a pack of stained wifebeaters/undershirts.You guys had it good. Colt 45 and MD 20/20 were the HS go-tos here. Glad I no longer get anywhere near either of those, to even have to worry about what the smell might remind me of... lol

Disappointed to see the silver back. I know it's tradition, but I think the black Mercedes was the sharpest -- and best looking -- car on track. Just looked mean.
Yay on COTA? Shouldn't be sad about a race in our backyard, but I figure in the next five years I go out for one, maybe two races. I think the track itself is amazing but man it's a beating to attend.
Feel exactly the same...

Anyone watch today? I've been bad lately about watching. I'm not sure why we conceded 8 minutes in against Plymouth Argyle but got the W eventually on the backs of the dirty Spaniards.
Was able to catch after halftime. Frustratingly familiar with what felt like hundreds of great goal-scoring opportunities, and a huge lack of finishing. Kepa's save on the penalty was fantastic....

So, no change in this transfer window... Any opinions on what that means for almost our entire defense, with contract expirations this year?

They were down 38-0 at the time.
Their first victory ever was against the team from Galveston Ball High School a few weeks later. Technically, A&M has never lost a halftime and never lost to a high school team.
Since 1894, the ags have bounced between getting their brains bashed in by UT and other top-tier teams and padding their W/L records by beating the likes of Galveston Ball High School.
I'm not sure where Wake Forest fits in those two categories.
Understandably, this event has been passed over by "aggy historians" and is strictly forbidden to be discussed by Texas A&M employees, administrators, students, or alumni.Lolz, this seriously belongs on secrant if any of you sickos already have an account there.
I guess this is what happens when you "wake the sleeping giant". In their first game, they quit before the 2nd half...in their most recent game, they quit before the 1st half. That's progress, ya stupid sips!!! lol

I keep forgetting how much of a presence Arkansas has in the DFW area. Weird how that has become a thing.
With a daughter that attends Arkansas (no pics you heathens), I can vouch that like 50% of Arkansas students are from Texas - and it seems most of the ones we meet are from the frisco-mckinney-dallas triangle.

It's nice because no one really knows till the cars hit the track in anger. I always love new regs for this reason. So much more interesting.
That said, the chances are Mercedes and Red Bull will be the two strongest, with Ferrari, Alpine and McLaren certainly having the potential to win races. I do hope Haas is better. The essentially wrote off last year.
Yeah, I agree with this whole post. Always interesting with big reg changes - it just introduces a(nother) chance for a team to find a loop hole or an 'outside the box' (man, I hate that overused phrase) solution.
