Cho 1k. If I had to replace it I'd go with the Cho 800 just to mix it up.

Just received the FOGO and the KJ. The FOGO SP I got is just large chunk. Doubt I'd ever buy it again at this price point. I can cull enough chunk this size from a few bags of RO. Feels like plenty of crumble on the bottom of the bag as well. The KJ looks like nice stuff but it's also mucho...

Looks like Amazon carries the fogo and Kamado Joe in the box. Going to have to try both of these. Did the first smoked Butt of the season last week.

Royal Oak has always bagged for BGE. No size or quality difference at all IME. The last bag of BGE I bought was almost completely crumble and dust. BGE is now about 4x as expensive as the Royal Oak in the large bag at Home Depot. If you buy enough bags your going to get good bags and lousy bags...

Wish I could help but the last time I was there there were so many shops I'd suggest just going for a walk and checking things out. I'm sure you will find what you are looking for. Dave

I've known many over the years that left the kitchen to go into food sales. Better pay, better hours etc and you have a solid insight into what a Chef wants. Best of luck which ever path you choose. Dave

Butcher blocks have been made this way for at least 140+ years. Probably longer. Both Boos and Michigan Maple Block have been around since the 1880's. There was no lumber conservation at that juncture. Northern hardwoods were plentifull. The primary reasons were already mentioned. The wood...

Glad to hear everyone here in Fl is safe. Still haven't seen any photos from Key West but Marathon looks pretty rough. Dave

Bob Seger for sure, Freddy Mercury, The Nuge, Adele, David Bowie, Elton John, and the Master of Disaster .....Frank Zappa! Dave

I don't see any of my Tads going anywhere before I'm gone. Dave

Yes. IIR I just saw one online at Korin the other day. The Doi in Blue #2 looks mighty tempting for the $$! Dave

Considering that you seem to want low light capability I would stick to a prime (fixed Focal Length) lens with a fixed aperture. Most zooms in your price range will have a variable aperture. The Sony 35 1.8 OSS is well in your budget. The newer Sonys are nice but bear in mind the price for an...

Cuba Libre with Mexican Coke.

Using Royal Oak here as well. Pretty tough product to beat in this area for the $$$. Used too be able to find Billy Bones Charcoal which was great but haven't seen that in several years. There was some competition blend being sold here that was pretty popular for a bit. IIR it was from Maine...
