Damn, that’s a pretty good idea I never thought of cutting up the meat and then browning the ends.

I’ve marinated meat and due to allergies I don’t use much dry spices due to cross contamination. The more I’ve seen and thought about the whole slow cooking large cuts of meat the more appealing it is. I want so bad to get a small smoker but I just haven’t found one yet. Funny enough I cooked a Chuck roast yesterday. Pressure cooker though with carrots and green beans. Black berries for fruit.

Keep it up! I dig the meals and ideas I gain from seeing what all you put in it. I am more amateur chef than anything so any and all ideas help me learn versatility.

Geez that’s insane. That’s food for a few people for days maybe. You have so much more room to do activities too. Kabobs or veggies. Throw some corn or something to fill in a little more space. Maximize potential. I love pork shoulder. Brisket too. Looks good. Almost as if you marinated the shoulder.

I’d like to be a power seeder chad 😂 I just don’t know how.

I have seen it a lot online being mentioned you needed portforwarding. So I just did not know it wasn’t needed. I will definitely start seeding all my downloads. I’m all for sharing and keeping the content public that is the whole point. Thanks!

My VPN doesn’t allow port forwarding so I cannot seed. If anyone has advice to safely seed then I’m all ears. I’ve paid a long time ahead for my provider so I cannot switch.

ARGGGGHH ya filthy vermin 😂 Fuck your subscriptions. 10tb checking in.

I guess I’m shallow minded. I never thought if what use it could really have. The room it is capable of holding. Item types, quantities. Neat.

So that really makes sense longevity. Of all the thoughts I didn’t consider that lol. I do see even 2k stainless grills they do eventually rust, break down, fall apart at all the joints eventually. So the fact this behemoth is simple I can see it going the long haul, pair that with the insulation and yeah cooking/grilling all year round is a good advantage. Your foods looks dialed in! So while to me its wildly expensive for a grill. I do see the points you mention and how they factor into the cost average over time. Plus I have a better understanding of why one would need a 2.5k or 3k egg grill. Interesting…

Is there a cleaner method besides charcoal? I love smoked meat but don’t own a smoker. I have an autoimmune condition so I’m very ingredient sensitive which is what worries me about the charring and cleanliness of the heat source. The only smoked meats I usually consume are hickory smoked bacon in small amounts.

Very very heavy. I always considered then over priced and not worth it. The good plus is they hold temp like a champ! The thermal mass being what it is and all. Do you think these types of grills have advantages over say a stainless gas, or charcoal, or any other fuel type? I honestly fail to see why their so expensive. Any ideas now that you have owned them? What’s the consensus from your view.

I’ve got a ryzen 5600g, 750w EVGA 80 plus gold PSU, 32gb ram, 1tb ssd and 2tb HDD, in a 6 fan MSI case, MSI b450 gaming pro carbon max wifi MOBO, fully functioning. All parts are new if your interested.

Is that a red egg grill? Those are wildly expensive.

Absolutely and this post has done just that. Which is exactly why I made the entire post to begin with.

I have a set of problems and wanted to try to solve them as resource friendly, open source, as possible. I will consider all tools for the job. Open, closed, what have you. At the end of the day the best tools for the job always wins.

Everything is by the book. It’s a family business. I have documentation of every single move that’s happened since my arrival, I’m in the financials and business customer and vendor relations. None of what your saying holds any water at all. You simply have misjudged the situation. Likely due to my poor explanation.

Thank you for the feedback. This seems to be the general consensus. What tech stacks would be good given the circumstances I’m now finding myself in. Personally I dislike Google and all that. But this is business. People need to survive and eat.

Right now the admin team is 2 people and mostly myself. The labor side is growing as work flows in. The whole reason I took this job is the stake in the company. Its been around for nearly 3 decades very well established and deep roots in the community. The key players are still in the business and industry tied. They have assets and a good crew. But no real internal structure and infrastructure.

Well the entire business has been ran analog for 2 decades. The problems I am trying to solve are the entire business workflow. Intake to outflow. They use Sage50 for accounting, vericlock to integrate into sage for time tracking software. Beyond that gmail for email. Nothing is connected, integrated.

Everything else business wise is up for grabs. The NAS and paperless was to start scanning in papers and mail and organizing it into something that isn’t piles of paperwork and a mess. Photoprism/immich was for hosting all the businesses pictures of projects, portfolio photos.

We need inventory management for tools to supplies. VOIP phone service which was planning to us FreePBX. They pay for a service Ooma but it’s terrible and 30 a month.

The goal is to establish a work flow for a manufacturing business. From scratch.

I work at the business. In the office. Got a role change. This is on me entirely for now. Nothing I can’t back out of. That being said the point is to streamline and to simply the business workflow. It’s all analog and papers scattered and stacked everywhere for over 2 decades.

Noted. What are some closed source ideas? Give me better solutions or anything over negativity. I am helping a local business.

The value they seek is to privatize their own data, run their own software free of subscription services and pricing, being bound by all the usual constraints of big corporations. Its a small business.

Obsidian is closed source the Dev actively really listens to the user base and its very feature rich as in nothing really compares. Joplin second and then after that you looking at more basic apps.

They can all be private and encrypted in transit and at rest. It’s mostly about what features you want and then once you see what you can integrate you might want some quality of life features you didn’t even know you could want.

Bachans Japanese BBQ is so good. Getting expensive. But damn it’s delicious.
