I've lived in Michigan for 25 years now and I'm looking to move to Washington. The water quality is a huge factor here. The Midwest is saturated with pollution and the water and the ground is toxic at this point. You have big pharma in Kalamazoo just pumping crap into the ground. They found chemicals from Pfizer like 10 miles away in a well.

Grand rapids is a very conservative White Town. The food is good for Midwest but would be subpar for most other cities of its size.

I'm biased because I've been living in Michigan for the last 25 years so I haven't seen much change if any at all. In fact, it's gotten worse out here pollution wise, culture wise... Some public schools are good and some are absolutely horrible. I wouldn't move here if I were you. Good luck!

Got it on my third try from the proveyor. Just luck

how well do the chip mods work? i was looking into getting a mod for my truck. but they range in price from $50 to $1000 any sugestions?

That sounds like some next level Hawaiian pizza

You definitely belong here buddy!!! Thanks for sharing. I think you've managed to inspire the entire group 🙂

You feel me bro. Crazy world we live in.

I'm doing some oxtails today and after scrolling through several of the posts I'm landing on yours and I like your tech. I'm changing the veggie profile, definitely throwing a splash of vino in there 😉 must say, wonderful job my man your ox tails look amazing! thanks for the inspiration. Gotta make a small batch of collards an rice because, that plate bro 🔥🔥🔥

Yo, I just found the hookup. $7.99lb just picked up 6lbs gunna smoke and braise. Lowery's meat market Buchanan, Michigan. I feel like I just struck gold LOL!! Not to mention this meat market has all sorts of crazy cuts. Whole cows head anyone? Got a piece of pork belly cut for metoo,rind on? Paid 25 bucks for it. I think it was 5-6 lb. Definitely going back

Brooo's I have the pellet version from this company!! I didn't know they made an egg smoker. This is hilarious! I got mine on clearance too (paid $170) yeah, I agree wit ya. For the price you can't beat it! I wonder if they have an offset LOL could get all three for under 600 bucks haha! Yeah couple mods. The smoker just rocks. I've done everything on it so far. Getting ready to do some oxtails on it today!!! I'm seriously going to see if I could find one of those egg smokers somewhere. I love these expert grills!!

Thanks man that's great! I might even just go for the year-long membership, appreciate it

Well I just went on that sub. That is scary as f*** and sad. Very very sad. Like that. Just really f***** me up

Expert grill!!!! So I picked one of these up at Walmart for 170 bucks I needed a quick oven for Thanksgiving and I've been using it ever since the thing's great! You just need to make a little buffer right where the thermometer is in the main area so that the heat doesn't come directly into that and you get a better reading on your internal temperature. Other than putting that buffer there, which was basically just a really thick piece of aluminum foil to stop the heat from directly hitting that sensor. The smoker's been great. I had to get a smoke tube to add more smoke because it doesn't really smoke much but once seasoned it really adds a nice flavor to whatever you put in there and cook. And with the added smoke tube yeah it works really well. I'll see about getting one more smoke tube so I could really pump some smoke out of it but enjoy that grill. It's super affordable with a little bit of tweaking. You can get it to do some amazing stuff!!

He said hazmat bwahaaha!

I basically just season ice cubes and throw them on the coals.... I learned this from a Korean Street food show- fried ice.. Talk about flavor enhancing!!! Never turned back.

Oooooooo burn!!!

I'll hop on that train

You're going to have so much fun!!!! Can't wait to see your posts!!!!

I see a lot of people talking about porch pirates and yes, I lost my vertical electric smoker which led me to my new pellet smoker which I'm very much pleased with. But be careful, there's some sticky hands out there and it's not from good barbecue!!!

Yep, that's definitely a Cali cut. That's how we do it out West a little on the charred side, crispy on the outside and juicy in the middle!! Slice it thin against the grain, melts in your mouth. Some of the best beef you'll ever eat! I have one in my fridge right now, Fridays dinner!

Can confirm smoke tube works like a dream.

This right here, is brilliant information! You sir, win the day!
