I just got these and this is how the soles look after wearing them once. I walked around downtown for several hours. Do they look unusually worn down already or is this level of wear normal?
Picked up this old country wrangler today and it’s in pretty solid shape. Looking forward to some sleepless nights. Any tips on making the most of the learning curve?
I’m looking at an old country pit wrangler and the smoker is in great condition overall, but I’m somewhat skeptical of the condition of the firebox. He also said he has the grate for the firebox but the slides have been destroyed due to the heat. My main concern is leaks due to the raggedy borders, especially on the top. Thoughts?
They’re asking $200 for this Old Country bbq pit. What would you pay for the condition it’s in?

What old country bbq pit model is this? What would you pay for it?
Is this Oklahoma Joe highland worth it for $100? I’ve been wanting to buy one and this doesn’t look to be in too bad of shape.

I was very late to the cookout so I had to pull at 168. I was hoping that this would be a rare occasion when 168 would produce a tender bite… nope. I bit into a piece of rubbery meat. I was happy with the skin though.
Look for a sturdy tactical type collar for my boy. When he’s getting a bit too rowdy I want to have a thicker collar so it’s easier to grab and get a hold of him.
Edit: to clarify, I’m not looking for a collar for training purposes. I just want to find a durable every day collar that is comfortable for him but durable
All in all I’m satisfied with the result. I think I did a decent job with the trim and I’m happy with the bark. It was mostly juicy throughout, but lacked some tenderness. I believe the point was slightly overdone and the flat was slightly underdone. Total cook time before wrap was 14 hours at 250.
I wrapped after my bark set, which was at about 180. A while later I unwrapped it and found all of the point and some of the flat were probe tender, but there was still some resistance throughout the flat. I had to wait to get my kettle going again with more fuel which took about 20 minutes, so I had a dip in temp while waiting and after 1 hour back on the smoker the temp didn’t rise, but I tried not to focus too much on temps. I took it out again and was surprised that most of the areas that were originally probe tender were now giving significant resistance, which I found strange. I let it rest for 4 hours. Has anyone ever experienced this?
I’m doing some trimming and I noticed this separation here. It came like this. How should I approach this?
Edit: appreciate all the comments. This is my first brisket so I wasn’t sure if it was a big deal or not.
I have a pit barrel cooker which I use for everything, ribs, pork shoulder, poultry, etc, but I am going to do a brisket on my 22 Weber kettle this weekend. Given that it is my first brisket, I am looking for any tips and recs to make sure it comes out halfway good. I’m deciding if I want to use the snake method or my slow n sear.

A few months ago I started having panic attacks for the first time in 9 years (they were bad in my early 20s). Ever since that panic attack, I am having anticipatory anxiety about having another one. Every single bodily sensation that feels somewhat off to me, triggers anxiety, then I spiral. However, I have found that even though the frequency of my panic attacks is increasing, the intensity and duration of them are decreasing. I know I should look at that as a positive thing, because it is, but I’m still frustrated and concerned as to why the frequency has gone up. It’s hard for me to get excited about the fact that the intensity is going down, and on days when I have a minor panic attack, I’m almost looking at it as a failure.
I’m doing pork belly burnt ends this weekend and I’ve never done them in my PBC or on any smoker. Any recipes/tips?
I just graduated with my masters in counseling. I’m also finishing up at my internship site in July. I’m moving in a couple months, and I’m having a hard time processing that I will be leaving all this behind. Over the past two years, I have had the best professors, classmates, site supervisors, and mentors I could have ever imagined. My entire experience as a whole could not have gone any better. It’s hard to know I’m putting it all behind me.
I know I’ll find a great job and be surrounded by good people in my next role, but part of me keeps asking how could it get any better than this? I also had to terminate most of my clients recently. I trust that I did good work with them and that they are going to do well moving forward, but it’s still tough considering they were the first people I ever worked with. Has anyone been in a similar situation and found it difficult to say goodbye to everything?
