Got to drive a Mercedes Benz C350 fully loaded around today. My wife works at a Benz dealership and had one at home this weekend. Nice car to drive

Forget the C350. Tell us when she brings home a Mercedes AMG GT R. I will be there with the steaks and beers. You get the BBQ going. We will eat after we put that beast through its paces.:happydance:

Me: Yes.

Me: OK.

TSA Guy: Do you have any electronics in your bags?

Me: Yes.

TSA Guy: What?

Me: Laptop, iPod, hotspot, cell phone, battery pack and a tablet.

I pointed out where each was located in my laptop bag and he took everything out and swabbed it.

TSA Guy: What is in your roller bag?

Me: Clothes and my unmentionables – it is also locked. The combination is 0-0-0.

He then took several swabs.

TSA Guy: You are good to go.

Me: Thank you.

TSA Guy: No, thank you for making this easy.

Me: How so?

TSA Guy: When I saw you waiting for me you looked like the kind of guy who was going to give me a lot of trouble.

Me: There you go.

TSA is absolutely insufferable. I had a run-in with them in Philadelphia a few years ago. I was almost certain that I was going to be arrested and subsequently become the plaintiff in a lawsuit. My wife was horrified as she sat waiting to see if I was going to get waved through or not.

TSA is one of the main reasons I try to avoid flying if at all possible. Pissants with a little authority--horrible combination.

Funny you should say that. I seen one about 10 mins into driving the C350. It was parked at McDonalds and I was getting fuel and seen the guys. They were heading back home from the Formula 1 race in Montreal this weekend. Nice guys and a very sweet car. Never seen one up close before.

Back to back meetings today followed by an open house at a contracted place of ours. Apparently avocado toast is now the "it" thing to eat. I'll be stuffing my face with the open mac and cheese car though...

Just bought my first electric smoker. Any tips or tricks? I want to start with something very basic and easy this weekend since I've got no clue what I am doing.

Babyback ribs are the easiest (and the best imo) to smoke. I got my first smoker a couple of years ago, so I know how you feel.

Lots of great tips and reading here.

Good luck & enjoy!

How do you cook it?? Time and temp?? What type of chips?? Water pan?? Do you brine chicken the night before?? Do you use rubs on other meats???? So many questions!!

I'm sure madwi will weigh in on your questions, but I just wanted to add that you really should check the link in my previous post if you haven't already--don't be deceived that the title of the site is "Amazing Ribs." There is much, much more in there--and tons of information. At least check the Table of Contents.

I appreciated the link. Was reading a lot of it during work today. I just have a tendency to over analyze things. Haha. Reading about different flow patterns for the type of meat being used and what parts of fat should be placed where to render. Or using different sprays to keep the meat wet during smoking. I have my work cut out for me for the first few trial runs.

260ish for 5 hours-ish, you will have to play with the temp/time settings but chickens are usually pretty forgiving and stay very moist even if you let them go for a long time. I brine the night before and I use whatever rubs I have made up. be sure to get some under the skin as the skin will not be edible after slow cooking, turns to rubber. Some people finish it on the grill or oven to try and make the skin crispier, but I think it turns out like crap lol.
Other than that, treat it like a fire smoker, but you will probably need to account for some extra time vs. fire based smoker.
I use whatever woodchips I have on hand. Sometimes apple, oak, mesquite ect.
