The troubleshooting of my SmokeFire temp swings continued today, with some progress! Weber Support noticed a small gap at the front of the firepot, which I corrected. They also sent some of their GrillMaster Blend pellets to use, even though I've used Weber pellets before and experienced the...
Logged some overtime today and made it home after the family had eaten lunch.
Rummaged around in the garage fridge and discovered a bargain bin skirt steak I'd grabbed last week from the DoD Commissary for about $4. Broke out some Naturiffic Q-Salt, and fired up the new 26inch kettle.
Went...
This thread HERE got me thinking we haven't had a green chile cheeseburger in a while, and the Missus has been after me to make them, so resistance was futile. The trap had been set and I was in it.

I take a break from logging some overtime in the sim on this Saturday morning. I'm "in the seat" with a student pilot, working on his instrument approaches and visual patterns at Roswell, NM - KROW. No aliens observed. Boo.
CINCHOUSE had texted me while I was having fun... er, I mean...
Happy Sunday Phunday, y'all!

Originally, I'd intended to cook 'em whole, but time was not on my side... so I cut 'em down to St Louis and applied some Naturiffic Q-Salt and some 4-Rivers All...
Apologies for harassing you again this weekend - I warned you.
After Thursday night's really delicious experience with Naturiffic's X-Salt on a ribeye, I went freezer diving and pulled out a pretty nice tri tip
Decided to go back to the Fire Bricks option in the kettle - think I may find...
First off - Huge thanks to SirPorkalot and company for the hard work on this new "X-Salt." Along those lines, I'm greatly appreciative for inclusion in the small group trial... (just received the envelope yesterday).
It's been a mildly rough week out West. We've been dealing with pilot...
I had a lamb roast in the fridge that needed to be cooked. I also had just received my order of Gourmet Cooking Salts from Naturiffic. In particular was a package of Peppery Lime.
I chopped up some fresh Rosemary, Sage, and Thyme. Added some minced garlic, a couple TBS of EVOO and a heaping...
