Temperature has been a little bouncy (210-235), but it’s leveling off now and we should be steady at 225 for a long while

Yes! Being at above a mile means that we tend to burn a little bit more fuel and that I have to have a giant water pan to keep things humid inside the smoker and that I have to crutch the meat when it hits a stall or it will dry out

soon.

This will be enough fuel for about 16 hours or so at 225.

We will be starting around 8:00pm and aiming to pull it off the smoker by 9:00am.

since he was 3 years old, my now 5yo has called the annual "Balloon Fiesta" the "Balloon Festia," which was the most adorable thing ever.

but, sadly, today, he realized his mispronunciation and has chosen to sound like a boring adult

Amore!

I recently took apart our entire dishwasher to replace the internal filter right by the motor

It was $100 part but would’ve been a $300 service call and so I’m feeling this meme quite a bit

I can draw a straight line from my former twitter account to my current job

this one turned out nicely! I actually only got one slice of it (15lb brisket, and our crew of 20 demolished it).
