  1. When my parents bought the house I spent most of my formative years in, it had two Sub Zero ice makers---one in the kitchen/breakfast room and one in the bar. I don't think there was ever a point in the time they lived their (my mom was there nearly forty years) when both were functional at the same time. At a certain point, they just gave up on the one in the bar and kept repairing the one in the kitchen

    No red or purple. Orange, Lemon, and Lime are fine.
  3. The word of the lord. Praise be to Brisketexan
  4. Welp. The capitilizations seem to be in the right place. Petition granted!

    Thanks. I wondered about that.
  6. There's an idea of a Texan in the past 60 years (minus 20--30?), which @Brisketexan has mentioned. It's an independently, tough-yet-open-minded sort. Some of us get 2/3 of those still But That's my remaining love for the State, apart from the fact that the State pays me for doing good, state things.
  7. 'bout tree-fiddy.
  8. Praise, Jesus? /a guy I went to high school with was Max long before the internet was a thing. He went on to survive the second tower collapse during 9/11 (as an aside).

  10. He looks like a Better Call Saul ad in the second one.
  11. Yeah. I know. But just got to savor the good moments of straight forward information, followed by a Mi-T-fine finger-wagging.
  12. Cross posted because this isn't remotely political. Preach, Max:

    If it's just twice per year, move your Ozempic dose to early in the week ahead of time, and skip the shot the week of fun so so things move at a more traditional rate for the fun guys. I don't know. I used to take Ozempic on Tuesdays and it always felt like a few beers just turned it off. But everyone's chemistry/reaction is different.
  15. For those of you who have relatives who think this was cloud "seating," I got nothing. But Max does

    Among other things, the pellet grills seem like they'd do a great job with cold smoking. I bought a smoke tube to put in my offset for that purpose (sausage, etc). But I haven't used it yet because I can't see the point of buying a huge bag of pellets for such infrequent use. I'm sure there are some sample packs I can buy on occasion.
  17. I think the advantage of the "Joe" versus the Kettle is the former's being shorter and leading to a natural chimney-draft.

    I've never had a gas grill that didn't ultimately just rot. Honestly, 10 years is a remarkable run. Meanwhile, that little workhorse of mine that is the Weber Kettle just keeps going.
  19. I liked it fine, but I think it's just one of those that others liked quite a bit more. And while I know the first part ties into the DT series, it doesn't do so in nearly as much detail as does Salem's Lot, at least as far as I can recall. That is to say, I know there's a crossover character that has a role in DT and who is on the run, but I don't remember much of anything's being explained in HIA that made that book in the DT series considerably better, if that makes sense.

    I just saw that yesterday and can't unsee it.
  21. Vacuum sealed slices definitely reheats well, and I've done that with leftovers with good results. If you want to slice on-sight, I've only reheated a whole brisket via sous vide, and while it was delicious, the bark definitely gets a bit washed out, and I would recommend throwing it in an oven for 10 minutes after it's defrosted to firm things up if you go that route.

    I have a Weber Kettle, a WSM, and an offset. I kept the WSM for those times when I don't want to tend a fire or for direct fire cooking where I don't want it right next to the fire (like on the Kettle). I've got a temp controller for the WSM, which makes it set and forget (or I can leave it off and play with the vents. That temp controller is nice for overnight cooks but not absolutely necessary. That said, I haven't done one since I got the offset. It's definitely handy for Thanksgiving turkey when I've got so many other things to attend to that playing with fire gets in the way.
