I have a wonderful assortment of temperature reading devices, like infrared, instant read, and stay in brands.... all are good and kept in calibration.
I love beer guys... I can say I've tasted/sampled hundreds, maybe a thousand. I brew my own and love local Texas selections. Shiner has a wonderful selection of brews I like. There are many others in Texas worth putting to your lips. I drink what tastes good, no matter where it's brewed!
I experiment with food on the grill/smoker and in the oven. I'm inspired with what I read. I love to show off with family & friends.

Cooked beef short ribs for the first time this weekend, following Meathead's recipe with BBBR. Awesome!
I had only ever had them at local restaurants that boiled them first (I'm looking at you , TJ Ribs!), and they were always tough, so I never had any interest in them.
But cooking them right -- rubbed, and low and slow -- creates little nuggets of beef heaven. Get thee behind me, brisket, there's a new girl in town!
I just did two slabs (short plates with four 8" bones) today. I decided to experiment and after a couple of hours I wrapped one in foil and the other in Texas red butcher paper. Both tasted like pot roast. DO not crutch beef ribs!
What cooker type and what wood did you use? Just curious. Pellets? I used logs and crutched. Smokey as ever. But that's the nature of the beast with logs.
