Smoked tri-tip, seared hanger steak, with grilled pineapples and peppers

I made a few mistakes, which will be corrected by the next 4th of July!

- Set up the reflectors on the left-side but my charcoal was bright red all around the basket so flames would actually creep up on the indirect side and it was just too much

- I charred the hanger steak too much

- I completely burnt a few of the pineapple pieces (cleaned them up to remove the burnt surface)

All in all it turned out Ok! Guests loved the Tri-tip.

Seared + smoked pork butt steak

Dry rub for an hour then seared until 135-140F

Then placed on higher rack to finish slowly to 145F with smoke & mopped with BBQ sauce + apple cider vinegar

Tender and marbly AF!

Ribeye on the Kamado Joe

I know it looks a little dark but it wasn’t burnt I swear 😂 that being said, how does everyone avoid flare ups when grilling fatty cuts like ribeye?

I keep vacuum this and it comes back. I also tried filter aid.

Hi everyone, months ago I had the water turn green and I took care of it but the result was some dead algae at the bottom of the pool.

I’ve tried vacuuming probably 5+ times already and after 1-2 days it comes back to the bottom of the pool. Last time I was told to add some filter aid (cellulose) in the skimmer and that might have helped a bit but again, can’t get rid of a few tiny piles at the bottom of the pool.

I wish I could vacuum to waste but I don’t have that option.

Any miracle solution please?

PS: yes I’m sure the algae is dead.

Brisket flat Pastrami and Reuben

This was so incredibly delicious and my only regret was smoking such a small amount of meat. Next time I might have to do a full brisket.

First brisket came out good but not tender enough, why?

I did an overnight brisket at 250F but when I woke up 6 hours later the Kamado was actually at 310-320F and internal was already 184F so I quickly did the foil boat and kept it going until around 203F internal when it was probe tender.

By probe tender: the thinner part of the flat felt like warm butter, but the thicker part between the flat and point felt like butter with a little bit of resistance.

Picture attached shows the part between flat & point and on top is half of the point.

Let me know what I can do better next time!!

Timeline: on at midnight 250F but when I woke up at 6am it was actually running 310-320F

I removed it at 7:40am, left on countertop half an hour, and rested 3.5 hours at 170F wrapped in oven.

Our cat fell in the neighbor’s above ground pool this morning and thank god I heard him when I walked outside and was able to call the neighbor, enter his yard, and get him out.

His pool doesn’t have stairs and the poor cat was holding on to the edge in the skimmer area.

Cat broke his skimmer flap but after further inspection, he texted me: “there are 4 holes in the liner. One above the water line and 3 below the water line. When I pressed near the holes, air bubbles come out which means water can get in under the liner. The liner will need to be replaced. I will call the people that I bought the pool from tomorrow to figure out the cost of doing the replacement. The whole pool will need to be drained for the liner to be replaced”

I already told him to send me the estimate tomorrow but in the meantime I want to find out what the cost could be here in South Florida. I don’t know if this could be patched, and honestly I want to be considerate so I already told him I would take care of the repair.

It’s an oval-shaped above ground pool of around 7-8k gallons.

At least the cat is doing fine! Oh well..

What do you think the repair could cost?

I want to test several images and make sure they all receive roughly the same number of impressions (400).

My ad set has 12 images.

The way the FB algorithm is working… it picks 3-4 to give impressions to, then I have to turn the main one off pretty quickly (since it’s getting the bulk of the impressions), and repeat. Because FB picks only a few images, and I have to turn them off once they get 400 impressions, and it takes FB a while before giving impressions to the other images it hadn’t picked prior, this test is taking too long.

How would you achieve this?

I keep them in the same ad set to kind of control the spend & audience but I’m tempted to split this in 3-4 ad sets so I only have 3-4 images in each one and this goes faster.

Thank you for your help!

PS: I’m doing this to measure the CTR of each image under the same number of impressions. CTR trends down quickly after 400-800 impressions so I can’t compare the CTR of an image that received 2,000 impressions to one that received 300.
