True!
You start remembering things by eras (epochs?)… or how you remember things by smells or songs.
Smelling a certain perfume or a song comes on and takes you right back like a time machine.
Pork butt phase 1 complete!
No trimming, just scoring. Seasoned and placed on the grill.
The nice thing about pellet #smokers is how hands off it is. I do miss pulling all nighters at times and obsessing about the details but 95% chill and 5% work is worth it for a negligible difference in taste from a traditional smoker.
Now sitting back while the smoker does its thing and I enjoy watching the rest of the #ufc fight tonight. Oh, by the way, congrats on the win nostr:npub1wv79gfl4tn46qxs0vcr6kr73rqethvna0kchk4cw06mmdzsgrkdqmkxye0 !

Any specific examples come to mind?
I think about this often and wonder if it’s just nostalgia and how things used to be.
Or how some romanticize the1920’s and dream of what it must have been like to live in that Gatsby era but those that actually experienced it might have thought it was just normal.
*high five* I think pellet smokers do better with lower temps. Traditional smokers likely do better with higher temps, what pittmasters like Aaron Franklin might say they use. Doesn’t hurt to try!
Try it out and tag me in it, would love to see how it turns out!
It’s definitely a balance.
I guess it depends on what point in life you’re in. If you’re trying to get something off the ground and/or maximize youth, I believe putting in max effort is key.
When you achieve success (whatever that means to you), you might considering slowing down and getting things more in balance.
I started late once and went to 250, didn’t come out very good. Definitely try going lower for longer, 300 seems a bit too hot from the start. I think you’ll get better results. I forgot to mention I do crank the temp after foil up to 275-325 depending how late it’s getting. I use butcher paper on brisket, never tried it on the butt.
Ha! Pork shoulder vs Boston butt. I’m sure someone knows the deep history of that.
Hi Chris! Over the years I’ve tried 5+ ways at least 3 times each.
What’s worked best for me is lowest setting for an hour (approx 160° in my case) then I bump up to 180° for another hour then 200° until internal temp is around 185°.
I then wrap it in foil until internal temp is around 205°. Take out and rest minimum 20 mins.
Every hour or so I spritz which apple cider vinegar, not sure if this really works ha, sometimes I don’t even do it and comes out the similar. I also keep a pan with water in from the beginnings
Nice! Been a while since I’ve made one, next on my list. Enjoy the process.
In a few hours these guys will be on the pellet #smoker.
I’ll do my best to remember to take photos of the process and share here on #nostr.
Each #butt is approx 10lbs. Should take about 14 hours low and slow.

Right now, someone is working on the same idea you have.
Your two options: relax and take it the rest of this Saturday off or work to make your idea a reality.
Choose wisely.

Oh man, those are rough.
Thankfully I rarely get them but when it’s REALLY bad I take a 400-800mg ibuprofen with a shot (or double shot) of espresso.
The combo of ibuprofen and caffeine usually does the trick.
Good morning!
Tomorrow I’ll be #smoking another pork butt (or two). Stay tuned…

Think positive.
When your mind drifts into negativity (envy, greed, jealousy, etc.), focus on the things you’ve achieved in your personal and work life.
Negativity is toxic and creeps into everything. Fight it off the moment it starts to appear.

On my reading list! What were your key takeaways?
GM everyone.
Make today a special day for someone.
Be helpful at the gym. Hug someone who needs it. Pay for a strangers coffee. Donate to a charity or directly to a person in need. Invite someone new to your town to hangout with your friends. Anything.
That will be your own gift.

It’s easy to complicate things, the challenge is to make things simple.

Every once in a while I’ll read this just to remember how bad #inflation is.
It’s been a long road learning about business, finance, money, etc. Wish school would have done a better job of it.
