    Does J still have a true nutrition coupon code? I'll probably be ordering some stuff in the next week or so and want to give credit to him if I can.

    I completely finished that part. Just got angry about format. Just angry at how slow I'm working on it. Only self hate.

    I controll heat from the bottom, just try to get airflow from the top. I'm doing it the "right way". I do need another gasket. But it was this way before.

    "Remember there is no such thing as oversized cheburek, only jealousy." I applied too much fortified wine to my resume and things are off the rails.... Damnit.

    Oops. Wrong video, but also amusing. Meat jelly FTW though.

    Fuck resume writing. This is embarrassing and pissing me off. At least I'm learning some great cooking tips.... not sure how youtube got me here from resume tip videos, but I'm sure it has to do with Russian hackers.

    Maybe you can help me then. I always get too much smoke flavor crusted on the outside if it has a steady stream of heavy/medium smoke after the first 3-4 hours on ribs and 6-10 on butts or brisket. Do you not get that overpowering smoke flavor or is that something you like?

    I went over my method. I dont need or want too much smoke after the first 4-5 hours and big chunks of apple seem to last for well past that. If I open the vent I get a lot of smoke back through the egg. Chips work just fine as well. I find myself needing to soak chips to get the smoke I want however.

    I doctor it up, its 50% canned, 50% my own stock and vegis. I've never found the peppers needed. I havent looked hard either. I tried the microwave technique too. They still disintegrated. Little lard in the cast iron is the only way I guess. I was just trying to save a bit of calories and time. Bad mistake.

    I made enchiladas today and I read 3 recipes that said to just microwave or drag the tortillas through the enchilada sauce before wrapping. Fucking idiots. I should have just done like every abuela I've ever met and grilled them on the cast iron. They all fell apart completely. The flavor was however the best I have ever done. Extremely happy. Might try to make my own enchilada sauce next time. Never attempted but I feel confident AF now.

    I dont know anything about cigarettes... but I have smoked cigars, sometimes a few a day for long enough that I should and probably do feel withdrawal yet I never felt the NEED for it. I also use a vape to blow funky clouds and get a cheep buzz that honestly help me when I'm feeling *ahem* backed up. I've never felt and need to use. What I'm saying @mikel7829 is probably similar to what Sean is saying. Decide you want to and you can. When I help people with their diets and training I remind them that it's their choice to eat the cupcake, or sugar, or starch or whatever their vice is. The most addictive part of this is that you want to keep doing it, because it is who you decided you are. I think cigarettes have some harsh shit that makes the come down horrible, but the vapor things will help a lot with the cravings. Once you can ween yourself down to 3mg juice you're no longer under control of the nicotine and you just have to chose to stop. I love drugs too. And often I perform better with them, but I am always aware that I'm making a choice and that I am in control. Live deliberately Mike and you will be unstoppable in getting to your goals.

    Those vapor pens work pretty well.

    Better results to just smoke it. I dont know what the difference between lump and coal is. Do you mean lump coal and wood chunks? I throw in apple or mesquite chunks right on top of the starting hot coals from the chimney, then cover those with more lump. I get a lot of controllable heavy smoke in the beginning when the meat is cold and it can penetrate, then it tapers off so the crust doesnt get too bitter.

    French press is great. Not as good as espresso. I need to find a good ratio of grounds to water.

    Next time you see one for $80, just buy it. I'll bring you a hundo, some cigars, and a bottle of goooood bourbon.

    That's the plan. Or I just tell Sean when I'm ready to spend and he finds the deals on CL and other sites FAST. Lol He stole his, I think it was a Jolly.

    Garbage. I didnt expect a good grinder at all. Just better than no grinder.

    I love Dr Strange almost as much as John Wick. So good.
