    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    I have the MeatStick with bluetooth extender that's pretty similar and it works ok. It's cool to see the meat and ambient temps tracked together and nice to have just one probe with no wires, built in alarms, saved cook data, etc. but I do struggle with the app/connectivity sometimes. Not sure...

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    If anyone is interested in a nice instant read but not wanting to spend as much as the Thermapen, I have their Thermopop and really like it. It's a lot cheaper than the Thermapen and in my experience still settles in on a temperature very quickly where I don't feel I have to wait on it to...

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    I'm interested in getting a wireless thermometer for my Weber kettle. I've seen a couple recommendations on here for the thermopro TP20 but I'm also intrigued by the TP25 which is about the same price. The extra probes and app functionality with my phone instead of a receiver seem handy but I'm...

    Solo Stoves

    Is it just hot to the touch or does it actually throw heat out? My wife has been interested in a gas table top fire for the deck but my hesitation has been that they don't seem to actually provide warmth. I also have a small yard and haven't wanted to dedicate an area to a permanent fire pit or...

    How much burn time do you typically get out of that setup?

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    I have been following this thread for awhile as I've been wanting to get into smoking. I have experience using a gas grill and a charcoal walkabout for grilling but not long cooks. I just upgraded to a weber kettle and am planning to do some baby back ribs this weekend. Any recommendations on...

    Tristan Enaruna Commits

    The ability for all 8-10 guys playing to go max effort on defense/rebounding is really all I was referencing, but it does require players #8-10 to be good enough to trust on the floor and trust that they will develop into Big 12 caliber players. I also tend to think having depth is a bit...

    Tristan Enaruna Commits

    Agreed, not always feasible in every game. I just like to have the end of rotation guys feel involved and be prepared to play. I also like it when guys on the court know they can go 100 mph while they're on the court because they know they are going to get a breather rather than having to...

    I would find a rotation of 9-10 players getting regular time in the rotation refreshing. Whether from lack of talent depth or purely coaching game management choices, the short bench/6-7 player rotations have bugged me during both the Hoiberg and Prohm tenures. We have had some high caliber...

    Reasons for optimism - ISU Bball

    I agree with you. I think it is sometimes easy to forget that Prohm was left with a talented roster, but one that was very top heavy and had a huge hole in the sophomore class and very little time to fill his own freshman class with Fred leaving in June. It was a good situation and Prohm was...

    STANZ: Coaching Search Hot Board 1.0

    I don't like the odds of bringing any of TJ's 2021 UNLV class to Ames if hired. 2/3 players are playing HS ball in Las Vegas already and the other is an Arizona native within driving distance of UNLV. Seems like wishful thinking to pencil in anyone from his current class for ISU if he's hired.

    Steve Prohm says he'll meet with Jamie Pollard to discuss his future next week...

    I honestly didn't know who he was before the publicity around the shoes on the Hilton court incident. I even watched that game and still didn't know.

    Steve Prohm says he'll meet with Jamie Pollard to discuss his future next week...

    Fred turned out to be a homerun hire despite his lack of coaching experience. I don't think that means that a coach with a limited track record of either turning a program around or winning a lot of games as a head coach should be looked at as the ideal replacement. I want the next coach to...

    Retirement Targets

    This is what I found with the PPO vs. HDHP plans offered by my company based on my own calculations. There is a window of a "sweet spot" where the PPO has an advantage due to low copays for doctor/specialist visits if you have the right amount. But the HDHP starts the year about 2200 ahead based...

    Dave Ramsey-Financial Peace University

    I know I'm WAY late to this thread but I saw it pop up last week took a read through the thread. After reading through it felt compelled to add to this comment. IMO more 401k contributions usually = better, provided that the fees on that account are low, though it depends largely on what your...
