    I have a whole salmon filet, then a pound of bacon followed by two family packs of chicken thighs. I know the fish isn’t what you typically season a grill with but honestly it’s what we grill more than anything so… The bacon and chicken thighs will do the job. Any recommendations of temps with...

    Got a call last night, delivered today at 12:00. 2.5 hours later I’m doing the burn in now (400 for one hour). I couldn’t connect to the internet cause I’m blind as a bat in the sun with these phones. I couldn’t find the instruction manual so I downloaded it from their website. And yes, it...

    update: it’s being delivered to the Markham2 hub. It looks like Estes doesn’t work weekends so I figure Monday or Tuesday next week. If Estes keeps a record of how many times someone tracks their shipment, they’re probably scared of me right now, LOL.

    I understand this comment now. It looks like it leaves the Markham (2) to finally be in route to my house. Trailer is Closed at Joliet. Final destination is Markaham IL. And they changed time frame back to 6/13/22 - 6/17/22. So I won’t take my seasoning chicken thighs out of the freezer just yet.
