What Are You Buying Right Now? (non-OT version)
We all want to see what cool stuff you are buying (so we can judge, stereotype or just plain envy you).

OT - What are you fixing right now?
With all the talent and DIY repair posts lately, I thought it appropriate to start this thread. Maybe it will encourage some to tackle a project. I enjoy seeing the posts! Let's go!

CVAP Score
I came across a warming cabinet last month on Marketplace that was posted around 8-9 PM for $65. I messaged the seller and told him that I'd take it. The cabinet was located about an hour away from me. I didn't want to lose out on the cabinet and I told the seller that I'd be willing to meet him that night if he was…

Out with the Old, in with the new
Ive had this XL for about 8 years- came to me w a broken base, a new base and no warranty. Along the way I was able to get a replacement base when that one cracked but alas it cracked again and I was done trying to mess with it so I just bought a new one and move components. Turns out when we started disassembling the fire…

What Are You Chef-ing Tonight, Dr?
I think it's going to be leftovers for us; and I feel the urge to bake some professional cookies using a recipe derived from the scientific method. Posted by (I'd have to look) on my cookie thread. Tasty Beverage: Dr Pepper

Boneless ribeye roast
This was tagged as "roast beef". I think it qualifies as boneless ribeye roast. Coated generously with Badia Brisket Rub for a long 48 ours rest. Smoked for 3 hours at 200 F indirect until core temp reached 120 F. Just a few seconds in caveman style than rest until 135 F internal. Ready to serve. Served with sweet peppers,…

In search of recently departed forum heavy contributors
Have not seen any posts from @RRP, @lkapigian, @BeanHead or @dbCooper for awhile. Time to reengage. The pace of this place is around a constant so hopefully nothing serious on the other side. FWIW-

Pork butts
I have been evaluating different smoke profiles for por butts on the big green egg. I think I have found a favorite, peach wood from Frutia and some bourbon barrel sourced locally here in Louisville, mixed 1:1. This goes well with either the peach preserves or the MC Honey Hog rub only. Leaves a very nice flavor profile,…

making corn ribs
Only a few months from corn up around here and I think that corn rubs will be happening. Leaving aside the "i would kill something for them" vs "how can you make ribs without killing something" argument, i've been thinking about the actual cutting of them. In case you don't know, corn ribs are made from cobs of corn that…

Peruvian night
Peruvian chicken with traditional sides ( I think). Chicken marinade had aji amarillo paste, DP Peruvianish, oregano, garlic, and other stuff. Butterflied the drumsticks, as is the current rage. Starting up the rice. Similar to arroz verde. Plated up. Caliqueen made a Peruvian quinoa salad. Dressed with green sauce, and a…

Friday night and the EggHead Forum option of the forum choices is eerie quiet- I need to get a life!
The title says it all. Chasing the end of the not so endless summer comes to mind. Guilty here as no BGE cook rolling tonight and playing with live fire Saturday. Surely Friday night shenanigans are on the horizon. Edit for fat finger correction.

Freezing Beef Brisket
Greetings, I’m (gently, slowly..) expanding my amateur level home pork bbq business into other offers: chicken, turkey, aaaand… the mother of all BBQ. I’ve had success with freezing the pork. Vacuum sealer, etc. people are very interested in the brisket, so I’m going to go for it. My question is super simple. . … um… HOW…

OT - For Car Lovers: Some Recent Exotic Spottings
Have come across quite a few exotics/fun cars as of late - many of which I had previously only seen on paper/monitors. I have always loved cars but have never owned anything too extravagant. A 2011 5.0 was my wildest buy to date, and I suspect the future holds only family-appropriate vehicles, so the sun may have set on…

Large BGE Question
We purchased our Large BGE in 2013. Love it but I can’t get the dome and base to line-up properly. I believe there is an updated hinge kit for the Egg but not sure which one to get. Thank you.
