    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    They will. But they will also probably charge you extra…..there is a reason a packer is $3-$4 a pound cheaper than the trimmed version. Watch a couple of YouTube videos and with some practice you will get close enough. Really once you get the fat cap dealt with it is all about how much of the...

    Smoking Meat Questions and Discussion

    I prefer a modified Memphis dust rub recipe I found on line and tweaked over the years. I believe it was developed as an homage to Rendezvous BBQ in Memphis. Has anyone tried this Blues Hog on a brisket? Thinking of going with it on my next cook. It is great on burgers.

    Williams & Blum Pod: Where does Iowa State land in the new Big 12 hierarchy?

    I think the point in all of this is that there is going to be a vacuum with the departure of OU with no real bully that is a dominant program in the conference. I am not going to throw UT in this mix as they consistently win the award for doing less with more and haven’t really been a factor in...

    Best employers in Central Iowa

    Depends on a variety of factors. Generally speaking I would not contest a job performance termination. Known policy violations with documentation that backs it up, I like my chances a lot better. Not to get political, but that plays into this a little as well. It has been my experience that...

    Fertilizing my lawn for initial spring application

    All right turf gurus…… WTH is this and what is effective at killing it? Every year it seems to grow and spread despite my best efforts to eradicate. Roots are deep and it is a mother to pull. Obviously not doing something right…. TIA

    Hilton floor is for sale

    As someone mentioned, it’s the logistics of the transaction that is problematic. If you have access to a semi, and a big enough place to store it while you figure out what to do with it, you may be a player. The last one went for about $40k, and I am pretty sure there is still quite a bit of...

    Retirement Targets

    So serious question…… Is IPERS the only savings vehicle the state offers? Been private sector my entire career and the “rumor” was that state benefits were superior to the private sector (IPERS, retire early w/ full benefits, very reasonable premiums, etc.). Is that not still the case?

    ***Official ISU-Pitt postgame thread***

    Hampton stopped by to say hi. Honestly glad that there have been as big, and bigger, upsets in the years since so the highlight of their coach gets buried and hopefully lost to history.

    FS: NCAA MBB all session tix for We Will auction (4)

    Is there another non ISU game in the afternoon session on Friday (thinking like the Big 12 tournament- 1 session = 2 games)?

    FS: NCAA MBB all session tix for We Will auction (4)

    @brentblum When we say “all session”, how many games will the winning bidder be able to attend? Pardon the newb question.

    ***Official 2023 Weather Thread***

    Remember it well……. Living in rural Iowa outside of Boone. Power went out while my mom was in the middle of making my birthday cake. Was out for 3-4 days. No school. Parents had a scheduled trip to Vegas, so they left town and my aunt came over from ISU (also no classes - may have been...
