This week they have "value pack" T-Bones for $8.99/#, and Porterhouse,
$9.99, but for single steaks they only charge $1/# more. Most stores
don't do that. https://photos.app.goo.gl/Xg456D3zWu3V6A9E9 $10.99/#
for CAB Porterhouse. I'm very much a steak person, and CAB is better
than other USDA Choice. I have a dead apple tree and a dead peach tree.
I'm saving the steak for tomorrow since we had CAB sirloins yesterday,
and this evening it'll be fried fish.

I can understand why. Kuthe loved it too and he had exquisite taste so
you going to the same store makes a lot of sense. Customers in common,

Well, I prefer to shop only at Publix. Mainly because you do, and her
Royal Highness Queen Quown does. Just a matter of choice for me.

The fact that Publix employees are required to kiss my ass and fawn over
me when I shop there is not a factor. I don't need that shit.

But every product they sell is the very finest in the universe ...
That's why I only shop at the Pub.

What's the big deal? It looks like a pretty good steak. 10 bucks for a
nice steak sounds like a good deal. I'd buy it if I saw it at Safeway.

Can't you move them away from the flames or at least
remove them from the grill until the fire dies down?

I like burning food like that. I thought everybody did too. We also made
some BBQ sticks. I think the meat was hanger steak.

The flames could be caused by flare-ups from the fat on the steaks. On
a grill that size there's really no way to move them offside.

BULLSHIT!

One simply pushes the coals to the side so there is a cool zone.

What do you grill with, gas?

He'd have to remove the steaks, then the grill grate, then
push them aside. Replace grill grate, replace steaks, then
carry on with the grilling.

A full-size Weber has a grate that actually will lift up
like a car trunk. Then he can push those flaming briquettes
to the side.

Another option could be to use two forks to remove the grate, _with the
steaks on it_, rearrange the coal, and then use said two forks, to lift
the grate, with the steaks on it, into position again.

I have done similar operations in the past, and it probably took me about
20 seconds or so.

Yes it does.

But those are side openings for adding wood chips, not pushing coals
from the middle outward.

And just as easily on a small kettle one can pile the coals to one side,
leaving the other one free.

But for actual !right now! flare-up emergencies it gets even easier:

https://www.walmart.com/ip/Home-Basics-Beehive-16-oz-Plastic-Spray-Bottle/233620436

Ends the flames, leaves the red coals intact.

I use apple juice and water - that way any steam flavor is complimentary.

You're welcome!

Only if you don't pile up the coals so high there is no room to push

No, they're a bit too small for pushing coals around, even when they're
set in the metal half moon scuppers.

Typically one moves to 2 holders to center, lights and burns to cooking
temp, then moves the scuppers to the sides and replaces the grid.

The main function of the openings remains adding wood chips .

<snork> Yeah, David should don some flameproof gloves, remove the
steaks, remove the scorching hot grill grate, push the coals to the
side, replace the grate and put the steaks back on. But oh! the grill
is still too small for three steaks of that size to do offset grilling.

Does that qualify as a "big grill?" David wrote "Da
Hawaiians don't really get into big grills." I have a 28" Weber kettle
grill but it doesn't have a hinged grate. Nifty feature! But it is big
enough to set up for offset grilling with the coals mostly on one side.
The only flames/flare-ups come from fat dripping onto the coals, which
of course should be nice and ashy, just glowing, not flaming, before one
starts to grill steaks.

Sometimes the air gets to them and dripping fuel ignition, as you ought

That's no solution because "da Hawaiians don't really get into big
grills." Didn't you know?

Here's some steaks
that I got from Costco. I'm a little ashamed about my puny grill. Da
Hawaiians don't really get into big grills. No can help.

Nothing wrong with that grill, but those charred steaks.  😫
Can't you move them away from the flames or at least
remove them from the grill until the fire dies down?
The flames could be caused by flare-ups from the fat on the steaks. On
a grill that size there's really no way to move them offside.

Of course there is a solution:

They *are* burned. I alternate letting the flames go apeshit with
capping the fire. Since I use wood, when I do, the smoke is dense with
aromatics. I think that Krogers in your area carry Certified Angus.
Whatever Wertz says, CAB Choice *is* better than typical Choice. We had
lovely steaks tonight, if a little overdone. My wife's was slightly
over medium. She gets the tenderloin cut out of the Porterhouse, and I
get the rest. Mine was just under medium, when I'd have preferred MR,
but they were still excellent, cooked over peach and apple woods from
trees that died and were left standing to season. I typically do use
briquets as a base, but then put wood over the top.

Another thing. I thought there was little to no point in Waygu *ground*
beef. What difference should marbling make if it's getting ground
anyway? I was wrong. Occasionally, ALDI has it for $4.99/# in their
ad, but you have to get it on Wednesday (the first day of the ad), or
not much after that, because it sells out quickly. They were sold out by
Thursday afternoon. The texture is way better than other ground beef.
Pattied thin and seared on a very hot pan to medium well, it really is
something special, though I haven't tried it on a wood fire.

This week they have "value pack" T-Bones for $8.99/#, and Porterhouse,
$9.99, but for single steaks they only charge $1/# more. Most stores
don't do that.  https://photos.app.goo.gl/Xg456D3zWu3V6A9E9  $10.99/#
for CAB Porterhouse.  I'm very much a steak person, and CAB is better
than other USDA Choice.  I have a dead apple tree and a dead peach tree.
  I'm saving the steak for tomorrow since we had CAB sirloins yesterday,
and this evening it'll be fried fish.
I can understand why.  Kuthe loved it too and he had exquisite taste so
you going to the same store makes a lot of sense.  Customers in common,
a sort of brotherhood.
What's the big deal? It looks like a pretty good steak. 10 bucks for a
nice steak sounds like a good deal. I'd buy it if I saw it at Safeway.
That would be Albertson's on the mainland, I guess. Here's some steaks

It might be, I never noticed what that was. It's a step up from the
hibachis that we used growing up - more cooking area. The nice thing
about mainland style grilling is that you get to stand up like humans
while cooking instead of hunched over the fire like apes.

I don't know how popular Kamados are over here. My dad had a big red
one. It just appeared at our house one day. I never saw him use that
thing. I've never seen anybody use one. It seemed so large and ungainly.
It's not something that can be moved around easily because there's no
wheels on it.

He might have used it a lot but I wasn't living with him at the time.
The strange thing is the one he had later on was green. It's probably
still at the house and still an intense emerald green. I'll have to ask
my step mom about it and check it out.

The Big Green Egg!

Very trick, but also very heavy.

https://www.protoolreviews.com/big-green-egg-kamado-grill-review/

If you grill with traditional charcoal briquettes, you know it can take
anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes before you’re actually ready to cook. My
pellet grill is ready in 15 – 20 minutes, so I had some real concerns
about how long I needed to get the Egg cranking.

Once we learned the right damper settings, getting the grill ready took
less time than I thought. After you set the starter in the coals, give
it 10 minutes with both dampers wide open.

From there, we consistently got stable low temps in another 10 minutes
(20 minutes total). Keeping the dampers wide open, we were able to get
to high temps in 25 minutes on average, and pinging the 700° mark by 30
minutes.

700 degrees? That's too hot for me! It would probably be ideal for

That kamado was so big that all I could see was the top lid. It was like
a large truck. All you can remember is that big hood. I don't recall
what the bottom of the kamodo was like. I'll have to check that out.

My dad used to smoke chuck roasts and chickens for Christmas. It was
wonderful stuff. He used a standard Chinese smoker i.e., a 55 gallon
drum. Later on, he had a regular vertical smoker. If I can find it, I'll
dig it out and try smoking some chuck roast and chicken.

That seems rather tricky to manufacture. That guy should paint it to
look like a high school locker. Put a number on it and add a combination
lock.

I like the way my dad made his smoked meats. It was seasoned with
Hawaiian salt and pepper. That's it. He used stainless steel wire hooks
and hung them in the drum. It's all so stupidly simple. "Stupidly
simple" is my middle name.

Your pops did it like the do in Texas, simple and repeatable.

Drum smokers from a time when you made your own.



And come still do.

Ball valve is trick, I might fancy and dribble some beer or water in.

I like the way my dad made his smoked meats. It was seasoned with
Hawaiian salt and pepper. That's it. He used stainless steel wire hooks
and hung them in the drum. It's all so stupidly simple. "Stupidly
simple" is my middle name.
Ya gotta quit givin' away secrets! A open head drum and some, readily
available hooks, bought online, are all you need for a smoker?
Is there anyone here with Weber stock? Sell it!

Weber is a gold mine as well as the gold standard in grills. Not much
chance they suffer any losses. Privately held too, no stock warrants.

I don't know much about their carving knives, but I've had a small
Victorinox classic, and it's great! The only annoying thing is that most
shops in sweden have stopped sharpening knives due to "security reasons".

But, I have a nice arabian gentleman who has a small shop in a subway who
still does knife sharpening anyway.

Get a Dremel(tm). The cheap 2-speed comes with a jig for
knives & axes &c that holds the blade normal vector at
an exact angle with repect to the shaft.

Warning!!! Never bog the motor to the point where you can
hear the speed dip - the speed is essential to allow the
fans to cool the wires inside. I wrecked one in a couple
of seconds just because I needed to hold it by the end
for a difficult-to-reach cut and blocked the cooling holes.

Ahh, good idea! Never thought of that, but having something holding it
sure sounds very convenient! I'll definitely look into this.

Some places have kits but the local hardware store has packs with an
assortment of aluminum oxide wet/dry paper. 800 grit is good enough but at
least here the auto parts stores carry the finer grits for body work,

YMMV but I went to a glass shop and asked to buy a piece of plate glass
about 9x11 inches. He asked if the size was critical. When I said it
wasn't he pulled a piece from the scrap pile, ran it through the grinder
to champ fer the edges, and gave it to me. Even if you have to buy a piece
it won't be much.

A light shot of spray adhesive holds the paper on.

If they ban sandpaper I'd suggest catching the next flight out.

fwiw, I do have the gadget he shows for sharpening plane irons and
chisels. I'm not OCD enough to use a digital angle block and just measure,
You don't need it for knives but instead of the sandpaper on glass you
could make a jig like this:

Love the deep cargo pants clip sheath and robust grip.
I've got one clipped to the sternum strap of one of my packs. They're not
as fancy but I've got a couple of the Classic No. 2s for utility knives.

I've no idea why the Classic is more expensive than the Companion now.
iirc when I bought them they were cheaper.

TY for your review, at this price one can't help but add another!

I think the thickness of the blade may be the metric .90 vs. .125.

It's not all that common for sheath knives to offer large field clips,
most are belt loop configuration.

What baffles me is how a nation like Sweden can hit the marks on a
product like this and keep the price so reasonable in this global
economy without subbing it out to Jina.

This is indeed a mystery of the universe! I also find it fascinating that
they are actually produced in sweden, and they remain competitive, at that
price!

They do have a factory, and if memory serves, it produces about 10000
blades per day. Perhaps another reason is that Sandvik steel. Since
Sandvik steel is also produced locally, I imagine they can get it cheaply,
quickly, and with a minimal cost of transportation.

Yet another factor is that they are located in the country side, so that
enables them to keep salaries lower than in more populated areas.

Added to my wish list, thx!
Love the deep cargo pants clip sheath and robust grip.
I've got one clipped to the sternum strap of one of my packs. They're not
as fancy but I've got a couple of the Classic No. 2s for utility knives.
https://morakniv.se/en/product/classic-no-2-c-red/
I've no idea why the Classic is more expensive than the Companion now.
iirc when I bought them they were cheaper.
TY for your review, at this price one can't help but add another!
I think the thickness of the blade may be the metric .90 vs. .125.
Yes, metric all the way I think.

It's not all that common for sheath knives to offer large field clips,
most are belt loop configuration.
What baffles me is how a nation like Sweden can hit the marks on a
product like this and keep the price so reasonable in this global
economy without subbing it out to Jina.
:-)
This is indeed a mystery of the universe! I also find it fascinating
that they are actually produced in sweden, and they remain competitive,
at that price!
They do have a factory, and if memory serves, it produces about 10000
blades per day. Perhaps another reason is that Sandvik steel. Since
Sandvik steel is also produced locally, I imagine they can get it
cheaply, quickly, and with a minimal cost of transportation.
Yet another factor is that they are located in the country side, so that
enables them to keep salaries lower than in more populated areas.
Here we go:

I can tell you that many years ago, each buck knife came with an
evangelical pamphlet extolling christian virtues. I don't know if they
still do that.

I bought my first buck knife at an army PX back in 1972, and bought
several after that. It was model 105 hunting knife.

They are good knives, but not exceptional. You can't hone them past a
point, or you'll get a wire edge, but they do they hold up well and are
certainly not shabby at all. I've skinned out and dressed many deer with
it and it worked just fine. I'd give them a B for the hunting knives,
but no more than a C for their pocket knives.

Yes, I remember with my 110 I received it and it spoke about how
important Christ was to their company and that they see him as a board
member.

I find knives that are not too good a good thing. That means that if it
gets damaged, I can always buy a new one, and I won't worry about using
it hard. If I had a 500 USD knife, I would perhaps refrain from using it
as much as I would use a 100 USD knife.

That's what I love with the Moras, use them, and if something happens,
buy a new one for 15 USD.

I also bought a Garberg as a birthday gift and that thing feels as if it
could survive a nuclear blast. It was more expensive though at around 70
USD or so.

Branding. The classic is the one that 99% of all swedes played with when
they were children, so I suspect they are capitalizing on peoples
nostalgia. ;)

You may be right. I carried a 'cat knife' in high school and for years
after.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercator_K55K

I have one with all the black paint worn off, a missing loop, and the
blade worn down from repeated sharpening. However, I also have one I
bought a few years ago from nostalgia. It was more than ten times what I
paid in the early '60s. It's on my desk in a plastic sleeve, a memento
rather than an everyday tool.

Besides being cheap the knives had two things going for them. They are so
flat they could be carried in a back pocket behind a wallet and not be
detected in a casual pat down. With a little work with a small file the
profile of the root of the blade could be smoothed out so it could be
flicked open with one hand.

In the country house I have an old Mora that must be around 35 years old,
if not older. It's been battered, thrown, dropped, been used to dig with
etc. etc. So many memories bound up in that knife. I think that one day, I
should really take the time to polish it, sharpen it, and oil the wood to
restore it to its former glory!

I love it! I call that a "hackable" product. Products which are designed
in a way so that you can then lovingly improve them and tailor them to
your own unique taste! =)

I've got a Buck 110 about that old. The blade is about a 1/4 shorter than
OEM after I broke the tip off trying to pry a staple out of a fence post
and reshaped it. I also have a virginal 50th Anniversary edition which was
another nostalgia purchase. I could open a knife store. My desk letter
opener is an Opinel No. 8 because I thought it looked cool.

That's my version of a fidget spinner. With practice you can open it one-
handed without slicing a finger off. It doesn't work left-handed and my
right hand isn't the most dexterous, pardon the pun, but I get it done.

CRKT is like the Columbia of knife makers.

In the country house I have an old Mora that must be around 35 years
old, if not older. It's been battered, thrown, dropped, been used to dig
with etc. etc. So many memories bound up in that knife. I think that one
day, I should really take the time to polish it, sharpen it, and oil the
wood to restore it to its former glory!
I've got a Buck 110 about that old. The blade is about a 1/4 shorter than
OEM after I broke the tip off trying to pry a staple out of a fence post
and reshaped it. I also have a virginal 50th Anniversary edition which was
another nostalgia purchase. I could open a knife store. My desk letter
opener is an Opinel No. 8 because I thought it looked cool.
I have one too. It is old too. Just used for hunting and it is as good
as new. See the current price is $65.

I like the way my dad made his smoked meats. It was seasoned with
Hawaiian salt and pepper. That's it. He used stainless steel wire hooks
and hung them in the drum. It's all so stupidly simple. "Stupidly
simple" is my middle name.
Ya gotta quit givin' away secrets! A open head drum and some, readily
available hooks, bought online, are all you need for a smoker?
Is there anyone here with Weber stock? Sell it!
There's some condos with large air ducts that can be seen while driving
down Ala Moana Blvd. It's an architectural feature that runs up the
entire floors of units. I don't care about luxury condos but those air
ducts just mesmerizes me when I drive past. I wouldn't need any hooks or
drums or Webers. I'd give my left nut for one of those setups.
Unfortunately, my left nut isn't worth 12 or so million bucks.

That's an excellent question. All that glass and exposed furniture could
be a problem. I suppose the owners could just live it up and not worry
about the future? I'm stumped.

Maybe one day you can grow up and quit tossing racist denigrations about?

Maybe?
