Yea, I flattened the half that I kept with my dmt xxc and it's worked out really well. One of my favorite stones.

Sizzurp

IIRC in the first run there were only 5 or 6 of these and all were ho wood handle and saya. I had one of the first run and it was a fantastic knife. It cut like a boss and I loved the steel, it was extremely easy to sharpen and had very good retention. The knife was a joy to use. Glws

A couple questions for our chefs and cooks. What motivated you to cook for a living and what keeps you going? I'm a culinary school dropout that got sucked back in a few years down the road with a phone call from a friend. Since that "I guess I can help" moment years have come and gone...

A proper cold rainy night calls for a barrel aged oatmeal stout.

@QuantumCloud Thanks, I'm also just getting started. Just picked up an offset smoker and a sous vide set up. This was my first smoke after a couple dry runs to get it seasoned up. I'm pretty pleased with the way this turned out for my first go at it. Pork was very juicy and the texture...

Couple slabs of butt rubbed with achiote smoked for 4.5 hrs with hickory and apple. From there they got mopped with a vinegar based guajillo and piquillo bbq sauce. Going to spend the next 24ish hrs in the bath at 155. It's my first time doing pulled pork this way so if it turns out well...

Was planning on letting this one sit a bit longer but I opened up the Hangar 24 Hammerhead. Not as boozy as I was expecting for a 12.5% brew released this year. I let their Pugachevs Cobra sit a year and at around 17% it was still quite the chest warmer(not in a bad way). Both great beers...
