South Carolina BS thread under new MANAGEMENT and lives in SC

I have this model... but the non-bluetooth version. The built in probe isn't very accurate.. I use a Maverick wireless thermometer instead.

 

Mine is the electric digital $249 model without the probe or Bluetooth. I’m running a Bluetooth cuisinart thermometer with two probes. You can add chips without opening the door. Ive never smoked anything before and I made awesome pulled pork on the first try. Next I want to try and do a brisket.

 

I have my probes but can't find the units to save my life. That's one of the things I was hoping to take advantage of with the Smoke IT app thing, but now I am a bit skeptical from what others say.

 

Pork shoulder is probably the most forgiving meat to start with. And rewarding! Hard to beat a good pulled pork sammich... or taco... or salad... or whatever!

 

Nachos. Pulled pork nachos are one of my faves.

 

Not sure how I forgot nachos!

 

As am I. I have been eating my pulled pork with a lettuce wrap and sprinkle cheese. I've almost gotten decent enough to not spill it everywhere.

 

Just do the 16-8 fast. It’s what I am doing. Prove to myself I only need two small meals a day to function. Help me lose 25 pounds.

 

I'm down 17 since Jan 27th and probably would be more, but booze was impacting my weight loss. Liver = alcohol before carbs before fat. I've cut that out and will hopefully start seeing a larger loss soon.

 

Intermittent fasting is a thing, too!

 

That hurts since it takes a few days to get back into ketosis. Do you monitor your blood or breath ketones?

 

Walmart and most grocery stores sells low carb wraps! Aldi has zero carb bread. Or make a taco shell out of shredded cheese!

I stopped drinking beer. Still drink liquor but not the sweet stuff. Usually sip tequila or scotch. Or make coconut margaritas without adding the cream of coconut.

 

For keto ice cream, you can't beat Rebel ice cream for taste or the carbs. A whole pint is usually only 5g.
For chocolate, Choczero is amazing!
But after starting keto, the sweet cravings are few and far between.

I guess I eat dirty keto. I don't count macros or anything. Just eat low carb. And generally stay far away from sugar.
