thank you 🙏🏽

🍾

Years ago, and also last year, I bought this duxtop model from Amazon:

Duxtop 1800W Portable Induction Cooktop Countertop Burner, Gold 8100MC/BT-180G3 https://a.co/d/4l21lmb

No issues. It’s been about 5-7 years. They’ve since introduced new (to me) models:

They’re worth looking into because they have more power levels.

thanks for taking the time and effort to write this response. my knee jerk reaction is “meta bad unga bunga 😡” but i like your take. it’s measured.

also i wanted to share how i was relieved when discovering that waveform was federated with most. i signed up with beehaw at first, and though i like it, waveform feels like a place i can call e-home

I feel like I see your nba posts a lot? Thank you for contributing. It helps keep me off Reddit.

so i guess i’m supposed to cut it like this? (that’s a st louis rack from costco.) spruce eats (link) and serious eats (link) appear to be doing that. that makes the most sense to me because it removes the section that has those “dots”. But go to youtube, and it looks like many of them cut a straight line. is it just a matter of preference?

thanks so much. def had an a-ha moment

congrats! i have the 560

if i could talk to 2012 me (when i first started):

• don’t put the meat in until the charcoal smoke has died down
• if something went wrong, it probably has to do with heat and air
• keep a log so you know what works for future cooks
• don’t stress out over things too much
• learn what kind of smoke causes bad flavors

lastly, it’s helpful to get a thermometer to track the internal temp of the food you’re smoking, and the temp of the cookbox. this is all i’ve ever needed, but there’s all sorts of gadgetry out there

all good things come to an end
