    The "Shit I just bought" thread

    They are pretty great. All my inlaws have them and they use almost none of them do their basic cooking in their kitchens anymore. Between grills and these things, no need really. Omelets and stirfry (any asian food really) is awesome to make on them. I just got this small one for now, it'll be...

    I just got a small tabletop Blackstone for camping. Can't wait to try it out.

    yeah it’s worth $15. I never played the DLCs so I can’t comment about those.

    probably because you quoted it for the 2 seconds it was up before I had to edit it due to predictive text saying “you” instead of “I”.

    I play the games I like, you seek validation for your life and attention through rep points on an Internet forum. To each their own. 🤷🏻‍♂️

    After searching for two months I finally found a place in Michigan with a mountain bike in stock. Took it out today after putting a different seat on it. In all after a holder for my cell phone as well I’m into it for about $800. I’m in the process is losing weight, down 30lbs so far. As a fat...

    Yeah, internals on the grill just have more bad stories than good, an external is always the way to go imo.

    my dad just got an infrared as an early Fathers Day gift at the beginning of the month and he really digs it. My only issue it I like flare ups when I want them to happen. when I cooked on it though it was indeed nice and the heat was even all throughout.

    Of the two you linked I’d go with the Rec Tec honestly. Hopper size is important and having a 5lb hopper, in my opinion, would suck. plus if portability is important the Rec Tec compacts down for easy transport. The WiFi seems important to you (I’ll be buried with my MEATER brand probes...

    I know 4 people with Rec Tecs who have either sold them or returned the to get Traegers or Pit Bosses. It’s why I didn’t go with them. Two of them were due to control board issues, one rusted out in 6 months (it was pretty crazy) and the other went through three feed augers before they said...

    frankly, you’ll want to invest in a separate WiFi probe anyway. The built in ones are okay but they aren’t as precise and will offer more options. if warranties are important, pit boss offers a 5 year everything is covered warranty which is the best out there. Also importantly you can sear...

    go back a few pages and see my journey with my pit boss PTO 1100. It gets hotter, had a longer warranty and you get more for your money than just about every other brand out there.

    The Edenville Dam in Midland, MI (world HQ of DOW Chemical) collapses forcing thousands to evacuate

    juat that area was 4ftdeep, it was by the shore. Wixom topped out at 40ft and had over 80miles of coast line. It wasn’t small by any means.

    All my grills till this last one are Weber’s, I like em. My propane cost as much as my pellet though and I dig the pellet more, hence why I’m selling it. working 6 days a week and 80 hours a week, the pellet just fits my life way more for the foreseeable future and the ease it gives is ahead of...

    I didn’t use a stone. 🤷🏻‍♂️ and I have propane and charcoal too, but I don’t see myself using either in the near future. I’m selling my propane in fact.

    No gimmic man. I just made a pizza in my patio with the wife on it , never had to go inside and just relaxing out here with her. Baked it precisely while never moving a single degree. meanwhile next week I’ll low and slow a brisket. It’s a percise cooking machine that has multiple functions and...

    No, if the paint is gonna bubble that’s just gonna happen. Also it’s always on the back if it happens if it and I never see that anyway. it’s not gonna look pristine forever regardless, but it hasn’t happened yet.

    If you go back over the last few pages you’ll see we own the same grill. i use hickory in my hopper and I run a smoke tube filled with a variety of things depending on the meat. Mesquite and Hickory are good for chickens imo, fruit trees are good too. I’ve found I like pit boss pellets more...

    So apparently a PS5 hit a marketplace in England and shows a £ 599 price tag which is almost $800. If that's the case, will be a hard pass for me until it drops.

    I mean the injection i used was created by someone who won the world hog championship 3 years in a row, so take it up with her. I’m sure you’ll convince her she’s clueless on what she’s doing easily enough. 🤷🏻‍♂️ also injections are more common than not. What I did is far from uncommon...

    The Only thing I “dumped” on it was a hickory rub and a baste in honey. And to say something is good so you don’t need to do things to make it taste better is a weird flex. Do you only eat cheese pizza?Do you put no seasoning on any food? Also didn’t you also say you can’t tell the difference...

    To show further how well my grill can smoke, I made this over the weekend, even at only half the cook time being smoked, had a nice smoke ring on it. Posted it over in the food thread. @Regime you’ll prob wanna see it. https://www.firesofheaven.org/threads/gravys-cooking-thread.37/post-3272099

    Made a pork butt yesterday for the first time in my Pit Boss Pellet Grill. I gave it an injection of chicken bouillon, peach nectar, white grape, brown sugar, Worcestershire and soy and gave it a rub in a hickory based rub (next time I’ll leave off the white grape and double the amount of...

    Look good. Apple is pretty subtle on red meat, if you thought so with Mesquite I'd wonder if you'd even pick up on the apple at all. That said, for red meat, I'm usually all about the hickory.

    5 year warranty, more features and higher temps. Pit Boss makes sense to me. They are split too, mine is like 210lbs.

    Nice! I didn't give mine a chance to really go hard for long, I just opened up the heat plate on it to see what it could do and measured the grates after a min or two. I plan on making steaks soon and will let it roll for a few and check it then.

    My pellet grill has a sear zone that hits 600-700 with the flames directly hitting that area. The grill can be set to 500 degrees but the sear zone gets much hotter. That's why I went with the Pit Boss. It's the only one that can do that.
