This reminded me of the Chalkey Cup thread. Now I can't find it though.

I searched first before posting but didn't see previous thread. Haha, I probably replied to it too!

This appears to be 10 year old news, but I only happened upon it yesterday. Stihl made an experimental Jet chainsaw using a jet engine modified from on that would be used in large RC jets.

When I got my first tractor back in '98, I had an immediate need to mow, and a tight budget. I bought used , and tractor did not have a loader. I added a Bush Hog loader a couple years later. To me, that really made it a "tractor". It was expensive to add, but it made the tractor much more...

Have you cooked in a buoy? Interesting origin story of the Weber kettle grills beginning as a nautical buoy. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/story-weber-grill-begins-buoy-180960335/ https://weberkettleclub.com/blog/2014/05/10/1952-georges-barbecue-kettle-the-original/...

After all that... Plans changed. Had tri-tip at the grad party. Grilled the steaks over charcoal on the Weber kettle yesterday.

I take the loader off when mowing, and for annual maintenance. My TC40 with loader and rotary mower is a bit over 24' long. Taking the loader off shortens it up enough that I have better clearance working around the trees on my property.

Because it comes out great. It also only needs a quick sear, so it is really fast when your just finishing it and not doing the whole cook. I love steak on the weber over charcoal, or on the flat iron. Sous vide just gives more options.

They have a gas grill and a Blackstone flat griddle. At home I have ben doing salt, pepper the steak. Then put a sprig of Rosemary, sprig of Thyme and two small pats butter on top. Then in to vacuum bag, vacuum and seal, and in to the sous vide pot. Then sear on piping hot flat griddle. My...

The logistics are my challenge. Event is after work, and is the opposite direction of home. If it was Saturday or Sunday, I'd have time to sous vide, pack in an insulated ice chest, and sear on grill or griddle when I get there. The other reason for looking in to this, is it seems it would...

Have you Sous Vide steaks a day or two in advance? Have a grad party for family coming up. I'd like to sous vide some steaks a day or two before. Then take them a to the grad party and finish/sear on the flat griddle. From what I've been able to find, it's doable. Sous Vide the steaks, quick...
