see where those teams are ranked in the final poll

a lot of teams look good now but won't be later

I think Penn St will be good but lets see the offense without Saquan and without Moorehead
My whole post was meant as a sly dig on TTUN.

She bought this electric one. I don’t know much about smokers so there is going to be some trial and error in the beginning lol.

That’s Apple wood and a wireless thermometer on top.

I have a electric materbuilt. Seems like I have to allow at least a couple hours extra for big meats and pull the water halfway though or you dont get that bark on the outside. Also dont expect a very heavy smoke flavor. I like mine but its alot different than charcoal or wood. Also you will wish you had got the bigger one. Yours looks about same size as mine and I have to cut ribs in half. Definitely smoke steelhead or salmon on there, just remember to pull the water pan or it will be mushy.

Purdue and Northwestern in a good one on ESPN. I hope UofL can get Brohm whenever Petrino hangs it up.

Did you burn anything in yours prior to the first time using it? Or do anything to "prep" it?

I drank a 15 pack of Natty and decided to break it in with chicken. It was a impromptu decision. I learned about pulling the water pan through trial and error. I also dont wrap the meat with foil since the wood chips dont permeate the meat like chunks on charcoal.

You will enjoy the set it and forget it feature. I cook in foil pans but use wire racks in the pan so the meat isnt sitting in the drippings all day.

Forget almost everything you know about cooking on your weber but give it a few cooks before hating it. You will fuck a couple up. Food will be good but not what you expect from yourself.

I'm going to try a pork shoulder Saturday. Will rub and refrigerate it tomorrow, and throw it in the smoker around 9am Saturday. I fully expect to fuck it up somehow.

Throw it on As soon as you wake up. And make sure you soak wood chips. Dont expect to see alot of smoke coming from top after you pull water pan but it will still be smoking. And if you smoke at 220 on charcoal bump it up 10 degrees for electric at least. Maybe 15.

When should I pull the water pan?

Halfway through cook. It will look like its not smoking but thats just because you dont have the water steaming. You wont have the smoke rolling out like you do on a wood smoker so dont worry.

Maybe it is different for an electric smoker, I can't say, but with a smoker using lump/briquettes/wood you would never soak your wood chips/chunks

Thanks for the tips. I’m going to see what I can find out online tonight as well.

I liked it more when their All-American OT was playing. Now he is out and they were already facing a tough task vs that Auburn D line
Shit that does make a difference. That may be a no play.

I think you guys are higher on Auburn than I am, their under on the season wins totals was one of my favorite bets

I think Washington's secondary can cover Auburn's receivers 1 on 1, freeing up 7 & 8 man rushes on an Auburn O-line w/ 4 new starters. Washington's talented defense isn't the team you want to try to build O-line continuity against. Auburn is one of the best defenses in the country, but this is a game where Peterson is going to empty the Boise St. trickeration playbook out on them.

added Arizona -11 over BYU

Going to be a great game and an awesome opening day. I emptied the dishwasher and took out the trash earlier...told my wife that was all she was getting out of me today.

I have money on Washington and I hate Auburn as much as any team

I would love to see Washington win. Auburn did lose a lot offensively, from their best RB to most of the mediocre o-line. They do have a solid QB. Washington certainly has the better coach. Defenses overall might be a wash.

And due to their schedule, inability to win away from home under Gus, and Auburn's nearly 30 year trend of not having back to back decent seasons I would bet/hope Auburn has a pretty sub-par season

What was the win total set at when you bet?

Same here. Tomorrow and Monday are going to be my days to finish a few projects around the house.
