a little bit of fat is fine; anything over a 1/4" though and its just blech

I do miss having a local butcher shop; giant slabs of beef fat for practically nothing ftmfw

Neat idea, but I'd have to upgrade to an insulated smoker before I could try; usually takes 3-5 hours to fully render the fat, and on the Brinkmann that would require a second batch of coals I smoke at 200-225 depending on how fast I need the food, but had never thought of "catching the fat" and using it. I was thinking more along of the lines of throwing beef trimmings in one of those cheap throwaway aluminum roasting pans, placing in the cooker and letting it render on the residual heat from a smoking session but yeah your method would work too

Spend more, get an insulated cooker and use just a little charcoal, or spend less, get a cheap tin metal cooker and use a lot of charcoal; either way you're gonna pay

omelets are amazing with it too

Best snag of the day was this weight bench. A bit flimsy and it can't hold a terrible amount of weight, but it'll work just fine for us: Gym membership? Who needs that?

french fries in beef fat are the only way to go

Homemade beef tallow anyone? Sam's Club had some nice USDA Choice Angus brisket packers today Snagged a 5 lb. bag of EAS powder for 28 also

Just realized I never posted pics of the Blue Meanie, oops...here you go

Apparently people can't read a map Either that or they don't own a map, which is weird considering I have 4 in the E55, not to mention the 4 plus travel atlas in the Blue Meanie *sigh* kids these days
