The cheapest Memphis is almost double the Traeger and the WAF is already going to be WAY low on this.

They have great reviews of the older stuff, the problem/challenge is that Traeger made what appear to be some really good changes in 2019 and plenty of other sites have had good/great things to say about them. The GMG options are cheaper, and I'm trying to determine if those differences are worth the cost.

They don't appear to have reviewed much, if any of Traeger's lineup since its introduction in 2019.

I've been doing quite a bit of research on this and am leaning way more towards a pellet grill/smoker - current leading candidate is the Traeger Ironwood 650. Seems to have a couple of features that are worth paying for over the Pro series.

Matthew Sweet - Girlfriend (Legacy Edition)

^^^ Hell yes. Me, checking out the Devs soundtrack posted above, 'cause Tidal lets me. This is where streaming audio of a huge library is great.

I never got past episode 1 of season 2, I wonder if that's even worth watching at this point. Season 1 was great.

I made complicated lunch today. Chopped up leftover smoked short ribs, pan friend briefly to warm/soften, added one egg, topped with very sharp cheddar and served on a grilled bagel. It was excellent.

So close. https://www.amazon.com/Frankie-wall-mountable-singing-McDonalds-commercial/dp/B002RCIBRS x 2

I had a very similar Yamaha Profession amp like that in college running twin passive subs, it was quite the party rig.

Next project arrives in two boxes tomorrow, not headphone but still audio related. 😁

Bone-in and boneless short ribs went on the smoker at 11:30, wrapped at 2:30, will be ready to unwrap shortly.

There's definitely a part of me that would like to try a charcoal-based solution, a friend swears by his Weber Smokey Mountain, but I don't want to end up with something that I don't use.

Smoke. I use the gas grill for cooking duty. And Reks, yes that works, but part of what makes the electric so appealing is setting it and no tending. No worrying if the fuel burns out or if the temp gets too high or too low. Less mess to clean up (although they all are messy).

Ok HC, I need some assistance. My introduction to smoked meats, a Masterbuilt electric smoker, has been great but has taken it on the chin the last two winters and has been blown over multiple times and is probably one good shake away from death so before it kicks the bucket I'd like give some serious consideration to its replacement. I do enjoy the ease of set-and-forget that an electic smoker provides and I've been looking into to "nicer" ones that are not sold by Amazon/Big-Box stores like Cookshack and a few others but figured I'd toss it out to the serious members of this group for further advice. Is it time to step up to a pellet fed unit? If so, recommendations welcome? Big Green Egg for flexibility of smoking and stupid hot oven for pizza? Googling seems almost useless.

Happy Birthday!

Yes, yes we are, relatively speaking.

Made what is likely simply as aesthetic upgrade to the Menace TC - replaced the naked Antec . Funny to be tinkering with it 11 years after building it. Old Naked Triad (edit, because I can't remember shit)

Throes of Dawn - The Great Fleet of Echoes

Did you tell it that it puts the lotion in the basket or else it gets the hose again?

mea culpa, mea culpa, mea maxima culpa!

Seems like it might be, dare I say, too much? Even if the price is right, if it's way more than required and causes complications like housing it may not be a good deal.

I'd be hard pressed to think there's a huge difference between streaming services. I'm pretty happy with Tidal so far, ask me again when/if I start paying $20/mo for it. My office rig is good enough (I guess) that I can tell every time that Tidal switches to Normal from Hifi due to either random network issues or some other cause. So whatever is the final solution will certainly need to provide decent quality, I'm not going back to basic Pandora or You Tube for full time listening.

I hope you mean the 2.5, not the 12.0, if it's latter way to go full HC on that sumbitch. I'm not sure I go through enough coffee to justify two pounds a month, so I'm struggling to commit a bit and am reviewing my purchase history with OBR currently to try to determine conclusively.
