    Official 2024 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread

    Had some pieces of leftover ribeye that had been smoked and seared. Were thinner pieces that were a little too well done and wouldn't have been good just reheated. Decided to shred them with food processor's cheese grater. Used the griddle to make cheesesteaks. Turned out awesome. No pics, was...

    Polk Atrium Subwoofer

    Nice setup! You should give the Loudness setting for the speakers a try if you haven't already. Really livened up my outdoor 6.5" speakers (1 pair of Definitive Tech and another pair of Yamahas). The tree mount won't benefit as much as ones mounted on the wall assuming that pair is up under the...

    Polk Atrium Subwoofer

    What amp are you using and just curious as to where it's located? Our pool is kinda far from the house so I'm a little jealous of setups where speakers & amps are easier to wire. Have you tried activating the Loudness setting on the speakers?

    What’s your water temp - Spring 2024 edition

    Cut the grass, wash the car, take a jog. Something to get your body temp up. Will make the plunge feel refreshing. Or if you have a spa crank the heat up and stay in as long as you can before jumping in the cold water.

    What’s your water temp - Spring 2024 edition

    75 in central TX. I'm usually in by now. Refreshing is more comfortable than warm for me. When I was much younger I was on swim teams and temps were rarely above cool so that's what I'm used to. The Mrs won't even consider it until mid 80s.

    What did you do to your pool today?

    Need to go get some more acid today. Equipment ran non-stop for 3 days in freeze protect. Spa spillway must have churned up the pH.

    Official 2023 BBQ, Smoking, Grilling, Baking and Beer thread

    Smoking, Grilling, Baking & Beer action has been so quiet lately. Haven't had a chance to use it yet but found a Blackstone 36 on sale at Tractor Supply last week for $250. Seasoned it on Saturday so it's ready to go. Just need to get to the grocery.

    Puck Should be a 4 Letter Word

    Dump powder in pool water filled to 10. Speed stir. If it's pink there's chlorine detected. Count how many drops it takes to turn the water clear. Give up after it seemingly never turns clear (easily 70 drops, maybe more like 80). No giving up next time.
