Looking to switch from 2018 Odyssey Elite that is starting to show its age. My personal choice would have been Telluride but wife want to get a Carnival so starting my research. Never owned a Kia before so curious if anybody has any dealership recommendation in Houston or surrounding areas.

Looking for 26/27 SXP Hybrid (lots of stop and go driving during kid pick and drop) in Astra Blue with Tucson interior.

Owned XT for few months and had MB600 before that. Despite its issues I really like the food that XT produces but I am looking for something with bigger main cooking chamber. I do not like stacked space of MB as you cannot cook larger proteins on it.

My search has led me to LSG  20'' x 42'' pellet grill, which is an "easy bake oven" but has capability to run full splits in basket along side with pellets. Also, there are charcoal pellet available now. So in terms of flavor it should be very close. If it wasn't was this I would have never considered a pellet grill as replacement.

So I am seriously considering ordering one and was wondering if anybody has experience with LSG or can provide some guidance.

I am doing a full packer Pastrami. I have already brined it for 8 days and just put it on smoker. I few questions about the finishing part.

- Since I am not planning to serve it till tomorrow evening, should I pull it out around 190 F and put in oven at 170 for a long hold? Or should I take it all the way to probe tender and then hold? Should I hold it in foil?

- Pastrami is traditionally steamed after smoking, so instead of finishing it like a brisket, should I put it on a rack with water and then cover the foil container and steam it? At what temperature? My only concern is that it might make it taste like "pot roast"

Did anybody else order one? I ha never heard of the brand but their Kickstarter prices look never tempting and the system seems beginner friendly as well

Thoughts?

I've been using Uraid for almost two years and the main purpose for it is to download, store and play media. It's been running well since I set it up until recently when dockers stopped loading all of the sudden. I try restoring them but that didn't work so as per some instructions found online, I deleted the service and try to reinstall them.

Now my servers is totally gone, I sometimes get a login screen and able to login. Other times I just get a page not found.

I downloaded my last USB backup from Unraid site (which is few months old), copied all the files to the USB and tried running the server and still the dockers do not load.

Any suggestion?

Traveling to Iceland for 7 days trip next week and will be driving a lot so looking at options for cell data as I will need it for maps. My original plan was to just use AT&T Day Pass option, which is $12/day for first device and $6/day for additional devices.

I was wondering if there is any cheaper options? I can get local sim, but that will change my number so I don't know if that would be the best option.

Any other suggestions?

I have owned Work Sharp Precision Adjust Elite for few years and it has been great in learning knife sharpening but it is not perfect specially for larger and smaller pocket knifes. So I looking for something different.

Originally, I was thinking about getting Professional Precision Adjust from WS, but open to other options. Are there any other guided sharpening system for around similar price at guys can recommend? I need 17, 20 and 25 degrees to start.

I might be in minority but I am not a fan of the split rack design of XT and looking for full size replacement. Does anybody know if there is anybody other than LSS mods that make them? I personally would like something with diamond pattern that most offsets come with.

Anybody making South African jerky (I know mates in SA hate it to be called that 😄) called biltong?

Recently starting making it and really enjoying it but need to explore more flavor options.
