TGO David

Thanks.

Welcome to the friendliest gun forum on the Internet, Rob.

You guys should see the links for Unread Content and Mark Site Read at the bottom of the pages now.

ORDERING IS OPEN! Click This Link Ordering closes on Friday, December 2nd in the morning. NO REFUNDS AFTER THURS 12/1. I will turn this order in on Friday the 2nd so that we can get them back in time for Christmas.

Haven't gotten them set up yet. Hoping to do so today; have had some things come up that kept me away from the computer.

My Asus monitors drive me nuts at times so it's not just you. Is yours a laptop or a separate Asus monitor? I am working on the TGO Darker theme this morning and am going to try to make a darker version of the new theme as well.

OMG TGO IS THE BRIGHTEST WEB SITE I VISIT ANYWHERE ON THE WEBZ!!! Seriously, adjust your monitor some. There is a big difference between the appearance on my MacBook, iPhone and Samsung tablet and the appearance on my Windows 10 PC with Asus monitors *IF* I do not adust the Asus monitors so that the gamma is lower. Their setting out of the box is "hot" which blows the highlights out of everything. I am sure that all sounds like blah blah blah blah to someone who has a personal preference for darker color schemes, but it is what it is. TGO uses more dark colors than most web sites out there. Our "Darker" theme is a good compromise for someone who surfs a lot in darker rooms with minimal ambient lighting beyond their computer screen. And that's bad for your eyes, just like your mom told you it was.

Try the TGO Darker theme if you need darker colors.

DO NOT use the Dev theme. I didn't realize it was even showing still; I use that as a test bed and it will never ever be reliable.

Must be the screen on whatever device you are using. Adjust the brightness and/or contrast. Chances are you're missing subtle colors in a lot of things.

I figured I'd wait and let you discover that on your own.

Here's the prototype! I am really digging the new flip-top lid that they put on this to minimize spilling since it's for hot beverages. I am going to put them up for pre-sale on the TGO store this evening so that folks can order this week. We want all orders in by Friday, December 2nd in order to have them back in our hands in a reasonable time, so this order window is going to be really short. Front Back Flip-top Open Flip-top Closed

I figure I should start this thread for folks who don't like change, because I just totally changed the way the forum looks.

Got a 9lb Boston Butt going on a long slow smoke overnight tonight. The neighbors are getting hungry right now and probably have no idea why. The smoke is hanging in the air all around.

I just haven't found much of anything that I want to spend money on this Black Friday. I think that's a good sign.

The injection marinade I made used Tabasco also. I cut the salt, Worcestershire and Tabasco amounts in half though. Salty things because I brined it overnight and didn't want it to be too salty. Tabasco because some of my in-laws don't like very spicy foods. Recipe here: http://www.food.com/recipe/beer-n-butter-poultry-injection-241052

I need to post a tutorial on this. I'll work on that some. Fixed the pic again though.

Fixed that pic for you. Got my smoker coming up to temp right now. Applewood, bit of cherry and a bit of hickory. Spatchcocked 9lb turkey breast brined overnight, injected with a beer and butter marinade this morning, rubbed down with the Simon & Garfunkel wet rub this morning (Google it) and about ready to put it on the grate for the next few hours.

MAN UP and pay shipping!

I'm with you. I would rather do a pork butt but "tradition". I'm ready to do a pork butt or brisket next week though!

Started off smoking some mac and cheese. The bird goes on tomorrow morning for dinner tomorrow night! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks, Greg! You bet I will. She's been my work-assistant all day today so plenty of attention has gone her way.

Folks; I wanted to go ahead and wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving as we head into the evening. This holiday some of you may be traveling. Others may be spending the weekend at home. Hopefully you find yourselves surrounded by people that you care about, whether they be friends, family, brothers in arms, or fellow emergency services crew. Whatever you're doing, I hope that you stay safe and have much to be thankful for. And since this is a firearms forum and since we think about and talk about things like this, if you are out and about this weekend... please be vigilant. As the saying goes, keep your head on a swivel if you are out at the movies, at the shopping malls, or anywhere else that there are large crowds. Watch what's going on around you and trust your instincts if something feels wrong or out of place. By all means, if you are able, carry your sidearm. And give serious thought to carrying some sort of personal first aid kit. If you've never considered the latter, maybe spend some time this weekend putting together something that would easily fit into a pocket, purse, satchel or backpack. Again, I hope you all stay safe and have time to reflect on the blessings in your own life. Hooray for the holidays and God bless. --David

It really sucks to lose that much food but I don't think I would chance it. Today was a warm day so those very likely got above 40-degrees and that's when bacteria starts doing their thing. The only way to be safe would be to cook each until internal temperature was above 165 degrees Fahrenheit (USDA spec is 160* for pork and 165* for turkey) and I would suspect that as both of those are already cooked, that would just ruin them further.

Best advice is to watch as many videos as you can with similar setups to get a feel for how it is going to sound. The smaller muffler will almost always be louder than the larger muffler, of course.
