coming up on hour 13...








This is the thick of the flat. The one I'm really monitoring. Little double stall in there.

12.5 hours in.

should be on pace to eat at a normal time tonight.


really digging the trends and app usage.


hardest part is not being there to take pictures of the damn meat itself you know I'm going nuts here

 

Your going nuts

 

Your your is wrong, you're going to have to think more about your actions.

couple bucks of the thermopro

 

Let me know how you like it. I've had mine a couple years and it's been rock solid. (FWIW I also have a Thermopop, which I don't really like that much but find it's handy to have a spare so I've kept it)

 

probably cooking a little faster actually

I'll peak in a few hours still. I haven't even asked the wife to send a pic. letting it ride.





me right now... and I love this meme too cause of the background!

 

Dammit.. might get this:

$199 Dalstrong Professional Chef Knife - 8” Blade - Shogun Series ELITE - Damascus Chef Knife - Japanese AUS-10V Super Steel - G10 Black Handle - Razor Sharp - Chef Knife with Sheath

https://www.amazon.com/DALSTRONG-Ch..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=8TKXJJX53HP2F30KYMT9

 

get the 10". so glad I went with a 10" chefs knife. or both...

 

The 10" isn't on Prime Day sale

This Shun is 25% off though but still an 8" :

$100 Shun Sora 8" Chef's Knife, Handcrafted Japanese Kitchen Knife, VG10 Steel Edge and 420J Stainless Steel Blade, Balanced Handle, Gyuto-Style Chef Tool for Professional and Home Chefs

https://www.amazon.com/Shun-VB0706-..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=8TKXJJX53HP2F30KYMT9

Debating which to get...

 

I have a thermopop....swear that thing eats up a battery like crazy! Only get a few uses out of a battery, and yes I shut it off when I store it!

 

See Meater's website - 15% off the block there and claims to be in stock. Of course it's still $28 more than if you'd preordered at the $200 price.

gotcha. I love my Shun but have read many good things on the dalstrong line. I have the shun premier 10" chefs knife. it fit my hand the best. Found a local store to go try them out. some just felt wonky and weird.

I'm eyballing some Dalstrong knives currently though

 

Weird, haven't had that kind of battery consumption with mine. I found the press-the-little-button-and-hold-it to turn it on and off was a PITA vs flipping open the pointy part.

 

nice! didn't see that. @Bigdaddy4760 email them and ask for the difference! that sucks...

 

Thought about it but they have not answered the last two emails.

 

I'm already spending too much on Prime DAy haha but thanks!

I might just do the Dalstrong... I love that hammered steel look of it. It's gonna last a long time so it's not like it's a shitty purchase either way

 

The MkV still includes the lanyard not sure where you got the idea it doesn't. But I didn't attach it, last thing I want is plastic or cloth hanging down over a hot grill to burn or catch fire. And the Silicone boot has magnets in it although I got the boot for the glow in the dark feature. The MkV is already waterproof where the Javelin is not.

Looking at the reviews on the Javelin 10% (115) of the critical reviewers say there is no customer support or real warranty\replacement, crickets when it breaks. Looks like another disposal thermometer. 1 in 10 is not a bus I want to ride anymore. For 50% more can get the MkV which does have support and a real warranty. I tell the hardware and software vendors that try to sell me something I only have 3 requirements. Must meet my needs requirements. Must work and when it doesn't has to have great support. Wish I would have done that in my personal life a long time ago until just recently, would be money ahead by now

 

I'd email Thermoworks for a replacement\repair. That isn't right I use the hell out of mine and still have the original batteries. In all of them.

 

Maybe wanna include should be able to withstand polar temps.

 

LOL almost mentioned that... All LCD's start to freeze up when it gets close to twenties below zero Fahrenheit. No one has working specs for where you and I live, most everything is made for where the other 95% of the people live!
