just found out my issue. I thought I was buying 91% and the bottle says 70% geesh.

Of course. Are your's soaked then? I'm going have to experiment.

Sounds easy huh. I went to the store and got 91% alcohol and 300 cotton balls. I put them in a glass jar and filled it up. I tried to light it and it would not light. I was thinking that maybe they shouldn't be submerged in the alcohol? I don't know. Should they be a bit dryer or completely submerged. This is why I didn't make a good Boy Scout. I can't start a fire even with gasoline.

There is almost always a difference, sometimes higher, sometimes lower depending on the grill. I don't pay too much attention to the temp. Your food will still come out fine. I use the temp at grate level personally, just because I use a controller. When I don't use the controller, I use the kamado thermometer. If you only use one thermometer, there is no difference to mess with your mind. They will almost never be the same.

Have to love the pork belly

Very nice. Spatchcock chicken next?

Ribs are done and gone! All 3 were a little different and the 6 people that ate them liked different ones for different reasons. They all turned out AWESOME though. The only one I sauced is the one in back. There were great. My sister brought the coleslaw salad, My daughter and son in law brought the sprouts and corn bread and I made the ribs and brown rice. Nice dinner.

Ribs are on! Put on at 1:30 https://myflameboss.com/en/cooks/424835

I got some baby back ribs at Costco and put 3 different rubs on them. I smothered in yellow mustard and applied the rubs. I am letting sit in the fridge until tomorrow. I will post the cook.

The pork looks excellent. It also looks like the grill cleaned up well.

Here is the manual: https://cdn.shocho.co/sc-specsheets/ET-733_instruction_manual.pdf

Pork loin chops? I guess I didn't know there are different type of pork chops.

My sister sous vide 4 pork chops about 1 inch thick. She cooked them at 145 for 2.5 hours per instructions. She said they came out very dry, almost inedible. Do you think she should have sous-vide them at 130 degrees instead? That is what I think. Is this where she went wrong or could it just be the pork? .

Flame Boss has updated their firmware to be able to connect with the controller when internet is not available. So if you are out of internet range, you can still connect to your phone with wifi. Added Local Connect so your mobile device can connect to your controller when the Internet is not available by connecting to the controller directly over the Local Area Network (LAN). Added Direct Connect so your mobile device can connect to your controller when no Internet nor LAN is available by connecting to the controller directly while the controller is in AP Mode.
