An unofficial chapter of the popular Dull Men's Club.

1. Relevant commentary on your own dull life. Posts should be about your own dull, lived experience. This is our most important rule. Direct questions, random thoughts, comment baiting, advice seeking, many uses of "discuss" rarely comply with this rule.

2. Original, Fresh, Meaningful Content.

3. Avoid repetitive topics.

4. This is not a search engine
Use a search engine, a tradesperson, Reddit, friends, a specialist Facebook group, apps, Wikipedia, an AI chat, a reverse image search etc. to answer simple questions or identify objects. Also see rule 1, “comment baiting”.

There are a number of content specific communities with subject matter experts who can help you.

Some other communities to consider before posting:

5. Keep it dull. If it puts us to sleep, it’s on the right track. Examples of likely not dull: jokes, gross stuff (including toes), politics, religion, royalty, illness or injury, killing things for fun, or promotional content. Feel free to post these elsewhere.

6. No hate speech, sexism, or bullying No sexism, hate speech, degrading or excessively foul language, or other harmful language. No othering or dehumanizing of anyone or negativity towards any gender identity.

7. Proofread before posting. Use good grammar and punctuation. Avoid useless phrases. Some examples: - starting a post with "So" - starting a post with pointless phrases, like "I hope this is allowed" or “this is my first post” Only share good quality, cropped images. Do not share screenshots of images; share the original image.

Found a smoker on the side of the road, cleaned and painted it (sh.itjust.works)

Saw it while driving a van for work. Spent my lunch break driving this thing back to my house.

It's got some rust, the existing paint is faded, and the thermometer is shot.

So I got a wire wheel for my grinder, a couple cans of high temp flat black paint, and a couple universal thermometers.

It's far from perfect, but it looks great from 10 feet away, and it only cost me like $20 n supplies!

I've never owned a grill before, believe it or not. Let alone a smoker, or anything to do with charcoal. But so far I love it.

Made lots of hotdogs to practice getting it hot and running it. Made steak for my friends, with some guidance, and the consensus was "tasty!"

Mainly because I could, the two pack cost the same as one larger one. And it looks cooler I think?

Also my buddy has a similar grill, and sometimes he does hi temp searing in the small side, it has grates too. So knowing the temp there might be useful? IDK.

And finally, I've been using it like a regular grill, putting the coals directly under the grate in the main chamber. And I noticed that the temp in the small chamber would climb up to just under 200f. So now I put my plate in there to warm it up before putting the finished food on it. Or to keep things warm but not still cooking, instead of the top rack on the opposite side of the coals, which would be really warm and probably still cooking a bit. 🤷‍♂️

IDK still figuring it out. Why not?

Nothing in the rule book that says a dog can't play football.

Glad your getting use out of it. Keep sharing the progress!
