Have to disagree with ya on that one. That bad boy is cooked to utter perfection, imho.Looks good, but I think you cooked it too long.
Looks the same going out, as going in!Pureed gruel. I'll take a picture of it tomorrow morning.
Same here. The steaks I have at home are good stuff rare (grain/grass fed, organic). At a restaurant I'll take my steak a bit more cooked but at home they'd still be mooing if I'd cooked them any less.Hmmm, guess I like mine a bit more pink.I bet it was still tasty though. I like to season a good ribeye with kosher salt, fresh ground black pepper, and a bit of garlic powder. Imma have to pick one up tomorrow and grill it up.
When I used to smoke pipe tobacco my tamping technique was fill it up loose, tamp it down to half full, sprinkle in more, tamp it down to being 3/4 full, then top it off and only press it down enough to all stay in. Seemed to work for me pretty much every time though I doubt it was very proper. For all I know I would have been laughed out of any fancy Pipe Smoking Clubs. Tamping does take some practice.
Good old Carter Hall is hard to beat.
That's actually one of the techniques I read about or saw on youTube.
