  1. I don't make it to a lot of games, but I've been to one Surly tailgate and, based on that experience, as long as Immamac still is putting them on, I wouldn't miss it for any game I was attending.
  2. There is a mold killing Kilz primer and a mold resistant Kilz paint that works well in mold prone areas. I don't know how different it is than the regular stuff, but it worked well in an area above our shower.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Packed up a couple of the cold-smoked, finished product for a friend. Turned out pretty good.
  7. My understanding is there are guys you can hit and guys you can't hit, and he ain't exactly a guy you can't hit.
  8. I was shouting.
  9. 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.
  10. I read that with a hint of phaser in my inner voice.
  11. Longhorn Rail-Rider.
  12. 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.
  13. Pleae don't ruin focaccia for me. I don't have much.
  14. 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.
  15. Hell, between the Godfather movies and Annie Hall. Fucking legend. RIP, nice-looking, polite lady.
  16. 330 Days until the Sam Houston rematch. OU Sucks!
  17. Yeah. I hope they don't screw it up. Looks like it will be good though.
  18. 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.
  19. Pfffff!
  20. Also, this was my younger son's Halloween costume five years later. Coincidence?
  21. Yeah, dude was a balloon arteest. I was just quoting the article because it made a better thread title. Although??? /thread name changed
  22. 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.
