My wife says the real cost of a pellet smoker is the cost of a neverending stream of accessories. She's probably not wrong.3yr ⋅ doc_ocho ⋅ r/pelletgrills

I bought this at Trader Joe's about three weeks ago for $90. Since then, my willingness to pay more than $40 for bourbon has pretty much disappeared. Just too many overpriced bottles out there.2yr ⋅ doc_ocho ⋅ r/whiskey

Two of my key staff members wanted briskets this week. I told them I would do it but they needed to coordinate for one cook. Just placed them on the pit and will fire it up about 9 PM PDT.

I was at Lowe's and they had this OkJoe on clearance for $280 (normally $550). Was able to answer some basic questions for a guy looking at it - and helped him pick one that had all the accessories (probes, drip bucket, etc). He was stoked and I felt good about welcoming a new member to our club.2yr ⋅ doc_ocho ⋅ r/pelletgrills

My local store may have Weller 12 today (assuming the managers don't scoop it up). I'm kind of over the gouging and given that I stocked up over the weekend - what would this group think is a reasonable price? Boozapp is all over the place on it...2yr ⋅ doc_ocho ⋅ r/whiskey

Best Bourbon compliment ever - the owner of my regular Friday bistro is cooking for the CEO of a national company.

Expert help... I'm 5 legs and 1500 PQP from Platinum. The legs are easy. What do I need to do to get to the PQP for the next level - and, more importantly - is it worth it? Seems like Gold is the sweet spot if you can't get to 1k. Thanks.2yr ⋅ doc_ocho ⋅ r/unitedairlines
