I figured the Pit Boss is a decent enough inexpensive pellet grill to dip my toes in smoking. I also heard they are pretty good with their warranties. Folks getting internal parts replaced easy peasy before the 5yr mark. So why not? On sale for Memorial Day to boot!

I assembled it myself (yeah, I asked for one in the box cause I like do to the assembly) and did the initial burn off. Tomorrow I'll...

Anyone use these places for their meats? Maybe not every day meats but select cuts like prime rib roast, brisket, tomahawk steaks.

I'm just curious. I've never ordered anything for myself but this year I sent a gift package to a friend from Omaha Steaks. I'll be looking forward to their review.

I do have some butcher shops I found near by where I would likely go first. But ya know.....ordering online is super...

Nothing beats warm homemade bread with REAL BUTTER.. ok, this isn’t about butter. It’s about bread.

Bread for sandwiches, bread for toast and eggs in the morning, bread for PB&J. BTW, I like my PB&J with REAL BUTTER on it.

I found a really good bread the other day at the supermarket -
