    The Best Black Beans You'll Ever Eat

    I lived in Cuba for 14 years and we ate Black Beans EVERY day due to food shortages. Everyone has a different recipe. The original recipe posted looks very good and I will try it. I never thought of the peppers, brilliant really. Traditional beans have bell peppers but the addition of the...

    Pipe Smoking seems Cheaper than Cigars (?)

    I have spreadsheets on everything, yes I am not well, probably need professional help. I gave up cigars last year and my last annual spend on cigars was $3,873.42. This year, my pipe tobacco spend thru September was $624.23. I smoke several bowls a day. I have leftover cigars in my humidor...

    So people who smoke and grill are passionate, as 10 people their opinion and you will get 12 answers. A Weber will do it all, a classic and you do not need to spend much money to smoke/grill. like buying a car, do research, tons of great forums, utubes on smoking/grilling. cheers

    It’s rib night!

    Karam, Weber Smokey is lovely, nothing wrong with it, does a fine job. Pitbarrel is not technically a smoker, it's a cooker, best of both worlds. Aces is correct, you can put a lot of meat on it, I paid $299 10 years ago still going strong, up to $399 due to inflation. Good thing about...

    It’s rib night!

    I am a big smoker and have tried them all and pitbarrel is the best, old school, you hang meat over charcoal. I do a lot of pork butts and they are better than any I have had. Secret is after you get meat to 160 degrees, wrap tightly in foil with a little apple cider, or beer and cook until...

    Rejoining the Pipe Fraternity

    I smoked a pipe for 10 years, then gave up smoking for 20 years, then cigars for 13 years. Went back to the pipe last year and when I try an occasional cigar there is simply no taste or feel. My opinion is if you are going to smoke, pipes are probably the least of all evils. Pipes are also...

    Wellbutrin

    I think it was a proper post. Lots of side affects for wellbutrin so you have to look at pros and cons. Years ago I took a medication prescribed by my doctor and put a bunch of weight on. Called her and she said yes that was a side affect. Switched to a different one without weight gain side...
