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!"

my good dude, if you weren't planning on keeping that smoker, that's one hell of a flip. I'd toss you a few grand for one in that condition were i looking for one, and that's excellent beef you cooked up. i ain't even had my weed yet and i'm getting hungry looking at it.

i went through this absolutely idiotic period of my life where i had no appetite but weed was not legal and i was literally so lawful stupid i was dying myself to death rather than have a joint to quite literally save my life. (no really, the effects were that drastic when i finally did) i bet a community of delicious food photos could really help people as stupid as me. also i want to look at them.

i can tell you already know your way around a kitchen, but these websites taught me the ins and outs of smoking: amazing ribs, virtual weber bullet, and... probably serious eats? i know there was a third but i'm only halfway through coffee yet. the third website, whichever it was, taught me a ton.
