    New old member

    I've been a Pitmaster Club member for over a year, and am just now getting around to my introductory email. The essence of low and slow, I guess. I have a bunch of hobbies, all of which require some kind of equipment and tools. My current stable of cooking tools include Weber and Napoleon gas grills, a Weber kettle, a Camp Fire propane smoker, and my first smoker, a Bradley original to which I added an extra heating element and an in-line thermostat. I first got interested in smoking about ten years ago with a foray into charcuterie, making my own smoked sausage and pastrami. I jumped on the sous vide que train a few years ago, and use the method I learned here for my family-famous ribs - 24hrs @ 150 then heated and charred over charcoal and some wood chunks. Lately I've been making bacon, ribs, steaks (sous vide or reverse sear), turkeys on a spit, and my favorite pastrami. Coming soon will be my first try at jerky. Thanks to Meathead and all y'all for great recipes, technique, and the all-important (to me) science behind it. I've always seen cooking as a chemistry experiment you get to eat!

              Fireman, I’ve asked once before where your picture came from. I know that it’s from one of Mel Brooks’ movies. You have refused to answer me. The wide ass eyes are hilarious. We all know that’s not really you. I demand one of two options for you. Either give us a picture of the real you, or, tell us which movie and character your avatar is from. I think it’s Blazing Saddles. Quit being so mysterious please.đź‚. Your fans demand answers!

              Panhead John , so ya think that’s not me. I am a bit older now than I was in that picture. There is other evidence throughout the musings of AR.

              So....you say you’re a bit older than that picture? So that means you’re what.....120?

                            The Pit Barrel Cooker May Be Too Easy


                            The PBC has a rabid cult following for good reason. It is absolutely positively without a doubt the best bargain on a smoker in the world. Period. This baby will cook circles around the cheap offset sideways barrel smokers because temperature control is so much easier.

                            Is This Superb Charcoal Grill A Kamado Killer?


                            The PK-360, with 360 square inches of cooking space, this rust free, cast aluminum charcoal grill is durable and easy to use. Four-way venting means it’s easy to set up for two zone cooking with more control than single vent Kamado grills. It is beautifully designed, completely portable, and much easier to set up for 2-zone cooking than any round kamado.

                            The Cool Kettle With The Hinged Hood We Always Wanted


                            Napoleon’s 22″ Pro Cart Charcoal Kettle Grill puts a few spins on the familiar kettle design. In fact, the hinged lid with a handle on the front, spins in a rotary motion 180 degrees. It’s hard to beat a Weber kettle, but Napoleon holds its own and adds some unique features to make the 22″ Pro Cart a viable alternative.

                            Winner of the National BBQ Association’s product of the year award. This 8.5″ x 11″ magnet contains more that 80 benchmark temperatures for meats (both USDA recommended temps as well as the temps chefs recommend), fats and oils, sugars, sous vide, eggs, collagens, wood combustion, breads, and more. Although it is not certified as all-weather, we have tested it outdoors in Chicago weather and it has not delaminated in three years, but there is minor fading.
