Just made ribollita for the first time yesterday.  Fantastic.

Had to look it up. Looks awesome.

I think our office had served something like this for a soup at lunch here -- called it "Greek Lemon Chicken" soup.

You bought an external keyboard WITHOUT a number pad?!?!?

LOL, I did. I don't do a lot of data entry and I don't like how big mechanical keyboards with numpads are.

Did three racks of baby backs over the weekend on the smoker.

I want to order my pellet grill but Grilla isn't operating in any capacity. Not even shipping orders out.

My current "to try" list is chicken parm, pot pie soup with crust crackers, cacio e pepe, homemade Snickers and rice pudding. 

We're having steak and melting potatoes for Easter, and I'm picking up sugar cookies and chocolate chip cookies from two local bakeries on Saturday.

Rec Rec still is. 😉

I need to find a good comparison of the RT-340 and the Grilla Chimp. First glance I like the Chimp more, but I am getting tired of waiting. I decided on the smaller model as it's just my wife and I and we won't cook for larger groups more than a couple times a year. Also, saving a few hundred bucks over the larger models is nice.

Grilla is offering 3 free bags of pellets if you order now to make up for the wait.

Looks like they both have similar controllers.  Doesn't looks like the Chimp has WiFi and has one less probe.  You will use the WiFi and the App more than you think.  Especially on long cooks.  

I like the portability of the Chimp, folding legs, base looks sturdier with the legs at an angle.

Over the top

I did a herb crusted prime rib on the smoker yesterday.  Turned out fantastic.  Added smoked brussel sprouts to the plate as well.

How many hours / what temp / what wood?

275° for about 2.5 hours.  I used apple wood.  Smoke until in internal temp of 130°.

I made a peach cobbler this weekend. Delicious.

Was that about 5 lbs?
