Yea the gold wanna I think is the 2019 with a better control board. I returned the black one and got the copper one today. I am cooking an 18 pound brisket and 9 pound pork butt tonight. I just did some wings and corn and it works great 

Ha well one thing we can agree on here is smoking meats. I love it. Don’t have a good one yet, still use a chargrilled Akorn, but love cooking pork butts and ribs. Haven’t tried a brisket yet bc beef makes me nervous.

The only way to mess up a brisket is to take it off too soon. It is dummy proof. Cooks itself. Just set ur temp to 225-240 and just wait lol  oh yea take it off at internal temp of 203

My neighbor did that the other day. They don’t have solid thermometers. I have the thermoworks smoke, so I am good to go. Unfortunately with a baby and a preggo wife, I don’t have as much time as I used to. In a year I should be ready to go again. 

Had the old workhorse going yesterday:  smoked pork butt, pork ribs, and a whole chicken.   Good times.

Found a new recipe to try.

Bump.

Got an air fryer today. I know it’s great for vegetables and I’m going to try salmon soon.

Any other recommendations?

Which one did you get?

French toast. 

Anything fried is better in there than oven (nuggets, fries, tots, pizza rolls, etc.).

Was out of gas for the grill once and made some great steak. Cooked more evenly, though a little more medium than I wanted as I hadn’t done it before.

Along lines of frozen, I’ve done homemade fries, “fried” chicken, smashed potatoes, etc. Very good and obviously eliminated a lot of the unhealthy oil.

Oh, Kale chips are fantastic!

How on earth do you do French Toast in an air fryer?

350 for around 5 minutes. You can cook almost anything in an air fryer, if it will fit.

Trying to wrap my head around this one.  You're talking egg-soaked breatd, or the French toast sticks?

Egg, milk, vanilla extract, maple syrup mixed. Soak the brioche (left uncovered overnight to get a bit stale). Add butter, cinnamon sugar, powdered sugar as toppings as desired.

Chicken and Brussels both air fryer for that.

Then scrolling thru remembered the meatballs are amazing also. 

Last few photos I have on my phone from some air fryer stuff. But it’s incredibly useful, and fast. And the best part, for me, is it has a timer on it so the ability to prep everything and have it be done at the same time is great. Particularly when the oven is being used for something else.

Photos kinda blurry. Not sure why. But you get the point.
