    Just get a cheap ass kamodo smoker/grill. Mine cost me $300 amazon, its one of them acorn ones, metal insulated, not ceramic, but works like a pro. Once dialed in, it can keep 225-250 for 12+ hours no problem. you can buy little temp control kits for them to be totally hands off, it costs like...

    I was wrong, I just looked it up and fat starts to render at about 130F-140F. But i also read that there is a point in sous vide that all the fat renders out, the outside fat and all the intermucular fat as well leaving the meat with hardly any fat. So if you go too long this is what will...

    Yeah its St Louis ribs they sell pre-seasoned. I stil think its all about that 225F-250F and interaction with smoke and all that fat with the seasonings melting and permeating that meat. IMO you just cannot achieve this at 140F, no matter the duration. I have done them in the oven like that...

    Sometimes I take a bit of water and mix in some BBQ sauce into it. It really does not matter TBH. Its a process to steam the meat. You barely taste anything of whatever you put in there at that time.

    Meh, best way is still smoking ribs the 3-2-1 method. I dont even use smoke anymore, just natural lump and it provides just enough smoke kick that I like. Dry rub overnight, the next day set smoker for 225-250, 3 hours, then wrap in foil for 2 hours with a bit of apple juice or some beer, then 1...

    Got a garage? Put it in there, dude. temps will still be cold, but not cold like outside. Plus you can still do a bit of insulation in th garage if you are unsure. My garage is attached to the house so its always like 10F-15F warmer than outside.

    Local Kroger has some pork shoulder on sale, like $.98/lb. I picked up one chunk earlier this week and did it in the slow cooker, the kids and wife ate that shit up. But im thinking of picking up another bigger chunk and smoking it this weekend. Then maybe some costco ribeye steaks.

    Yeah i was waiting for it, but I think I will go with either a 980 gtx when they come down some (And I hope they do) or the 1070. But still for a 1080p build that RX480 is definitely tempting. Still $100 or so cheaper than a good 970 gtx.

    So that AMD RX 480 which was supposed to be as good as the 980 GTX/390X turned out to be nothing but a 970 GTX speed. Still pretty good deal for $199, but LOL at AMD with their claims. Way to bring out a card to compete with Nvidias last gen.

    Spike in obesity really took off in the 80s and 90s. I attribute this to the early 80s FDA "fat is evil" guidelines and the "replace fat with sugar and carbs" diets of the 80s and 90s.
