![]() ![]() ![]() Did you keep it wide open for the entire cook? My experience with my own smoker is that keeping that fully open will help with excessive smoke. My first suggestion is about the smokestack. I am wondering if you set it up with all of the reverse flow low parts? I have heard that this model also includes a charcoal basket. So I have an OKJ Highland but not the reverse flow model. It took me to about my 3rd brisket to come out decent, after researching my first debacle. ![]() Needless to say it was same as you described, tough and off-putting chemical taste.ĭon’t give up, it’s an expensive lesson but I would guess everyone has done something similar. I also didn’t know about checking tenderness and only went by time. I thought you needed billowing white smoke and stoked the fire to produce it. When I did my first brisket years ago, I didn’t know about “dirty” and “clean” smoke. Third, yes adding wood/charcoal every 45 min or so is what I find is needed with the highland. Ive also had 10-12 lb packers done in 10 hours and as long as 18 cooking between 225-250. Sometimes it’s 190, other times I’ve had it at 215. Second, temperature/time is a gauge only, did you probe it throughout? Probe should slide in with little to no resistance when done. Internal temp of meat though decreasing was likely still warm enough to keep cooking. ![]() I’m not an expert, and only have made 1 brisket so far in my OKJ Highand, however made several on other smokers, but here’s my thoughts.įirst, never had a fire go out, but I would think with no fire for the short time you described didn’t help but shouldn’t create a disaster. I have about 40 people coming in two weeks and a lot to smoke for them. Should I have put a layer coal under the meat and then only put wood in the sidebox for a couple hours? Any theories would be welcome. But I don't know why? Others use this smoker all the time with success. Lump or not, it infuses a chemical taste. So where did it go south? The veg oil left in the bottom that wasn't properly burned? Maybe the whole thing wasn't seasoned properly? Letting the fire die and meat tightened up? I know there was too much coal being added too often. Fourteen hours wasted, not to mention the expensive meat. Rested about an hour wrapped in foil & towels in a cooler. Wrapped and continued for another three hours. Went through almost a bag of apple chunks as well before we got to 165 internal temp. Going through the cook I was having to add coal practically every 45 minutes. Fluctuated between about 240 and 265 the entire cook. (I'd like to blame this on my husband too, but I should have made sure I was prepared.) About 20 minutes later I was back and added more Royal Oak lump and apple chunks, some hickory chips to help it get going. I had to run to the store 5 minutes away. So I woke up to a burnt out fire with a barbecue temp at 180 degrees and, horror of horrors, no lump charcoal left in the bag. Unfortunately, I fell asleep and didn't hear the ThermPro alarm. Then he left for golf so I had to seethe in silence. My husband, bless his heart, started the fire for me in the fire box and I swear I couldn't have grilled a shrimp with it. No matter.I used my ThermPro for a more accurate reading. First thing I noticed was the door thermometer was off about 50 degrees. Noticed a bit of smoke escaping the door. Just before putting the meat on I added some apple chunks. Let it go for quite awhile since I knew I still had oil in there. Started a regular briquette fire in the firebox. I've only done a couple, but I know the basic steps. It sat for about 5 days before we used it for a cook. It left some veg oil in the bottom of the smoker, not the fire box, which I wiped out. I think we had the fire going about 4 hours total. It didn't keep 300 very long, but we caught a whiff of that chemical smell of the oil burning so we thought it was okay and let it die. We spent a Saturday afternoon curing it by rubbing it with veg oil, keeping about a 200 degree fire on it for about an hour, then increasing to 250, then 300. Great end of season clearance buy for $137. We purchased an Oklahoma Joe Highland offset smoker in preparation for a little gathering we're having in a few weeks. I'm hoping someone can help me figure out where I went wrong. Smoke ring was the thickest and pinkest I've ever seen with a horrible, pungent smoke/chemical taste. Tried to smoke a brisket last Saturday and it ended up shoe leather. ![]()

![]() When describing the properties of tiny objects such as atoms, we use appropriately small units of measure, such as the atomic mass unit (amu) and the fundamental unit of charge (e). For example, a carbon atom weighs less than 2 × × 10 −23 g, and an electron has a charge of less than 2 × × 10 −19 C (coulomb). (credit middle: modification of work by “babyknight”/Wikimedia Commons credit right: modification of work by Paxson Woelber)Ītoms-and the protons, neutrons, and electrons that compose them-are extremely small. For a perspective about their relative sizes, consider this: If the nucleus were the size of a blueberry, the atom would be about the size of a football stadium ( Figure 2.11).įigure 2.11 If an atom could be expanded to the size of a football stadium, the nucleus would be the size of a single blueberry. The diameter of an atom is on the order of 10 −10 m, whereas the diameter of the nucleus is roughly 10 −15 m-about 100,000 times smaller. The nucleus contains the majority of an atom’s mass because protons and neutrons are much heavier than electrons, whereas electrons occupy almost all of an atom’s volume. It was learned that an atom contains a very small nucleus composed of positively charged protons and uncharged neutrons, surrounded by a much larger volume of space containing negatively charged electrons. The development of modern atomic theory revealed much about the inner structure of atoms.

![]() So probably one of the best things we can do to prevent something like that is to keep MacOS updated as soon as Apple publishes security vulnerability updates. (Windows in the past was attacked in a similar way as it used IE as a web view engine, and there were attacks that used malformed mail messages to take advantage of IE vulnerabilities even without viewing a message.) We know that there can be junk filtering and rules processing of mail messages before you even view them on MacOS mail - perhaps there os a way to take advantage of something like that. I think that Messages and phone calls are special on iPhones - there are parts of the firmware that handle them outside big iOS, as I understand it - but I think that MacOS is more open, less locked down than iOS and wouldn’t be surprised if there is some sort of attack vector, discovered or unknown, that could be taken advantage of in a similar way. ![]() ![]() Pegasus at one point famously used (uses?) a specially-crafted SMS message that the user never opened, never viewed, that still infected an iPhone to the point that the user could be tracked to the minutest detail.

![]() With an improved Windows Store on the backend, Microsoft is building the machinery to fix a lot of the traditional Windows headaches.īy packing up software as an app, it makes it a lot less messy on the backend, as The Register reports. It's why Microsoft is investing so, so much effort into making it easy to bring existing Android, iOS, and even older-school Windows apps into the new, improved Windows Store - it means that developers have to expend less effort than ever before to (ideally) start making a lot of money very quickly, with a tremendous potential marketplace.Īnd for Windows users, there a bunch of benefits, beyond just having access to more apps. That's not least because, again, it's a totally separate app store from Apple's wildly successful mobile marketplace. One Windows Store that lets you install apps across all of the billion-plus Windows 10 devices is a tremendous opportunity to make up lost ground.Įven Apple hasn't been able to make a desktop app store work - the Mac App Store seems to be heading towards becoming a famous flop, with developers pushing back against Apple's control and the fact that they just can't seem to make any money. ![]() Windows 10 is Microsoft's big chance to break the cycle. That won't fly in the every-single-device world that Microsoft is envisioning. For a developer, it means having to make two entirely different versions of an app. For a user, it means potentially buying the same app twice for two devices. But it's totally separate from the Windows Phone store. Meanwhile, Windows 8 has an app store, as well. It's resulted in Windows Phone becoming a teeny-tiny player compared to the behemoths of Apple, Samsung, Motorola, and the like. But there aren't a lot of good apps because developers don't want to waste their time working on a platform Customers don't want to switch to Windows Phone because there aren't a lot of good apps. At one point, Microsoft was straight up offering cash bounties just to bring apps - any apps - to Windows Phone. The apps that are on this store tend to be pale imitations of the ones that users enjoy on iPhone and Android, especially since Google offers none of its apps through the Windows Store. But as it stands today, there just aren't a lot of good apps. Microsoft has an app store, too, for Windows Phone. And developers can get paid, simply and easily, even if the store itself usually takes a sizable cut. The actual installation is handled in a way that's totally invisible to the user, as are updates. If you get a new phone, just log in and all of your apps are right there, waiting to be reinstalled. If you need an update, it handles that too. The rise of app stores for mobile devices - first Apple's App Store, and later Google Play and other stores for Android devices - changed all that.įind an app you like, click it, and it installs. Programs would need other, seemingly unrelated, programs just to run. The pain was only be exacerbated by trying to update the or add more content to it once it was downloaded. In the old days, finding a program to download, downloading it, and installing it took lots of steps and was not always easy for non-technical people. The idea of an App Store is a huge leap over what we had before. It's the only way Windows 10 is going to succeed in its wild ambitions to be everything to everybody.īut as it stands today, the store is Microsoft's weakest point. ![]() That market size is Microsoft's trump card as it looks to pull developers away from building iPhone and Android apps. Write an app once, it works everywhere, on all one billion Windows 10 devices that Microsoft is hoping for. So that's "one core" and "one platform," and it's pretty straightforward. Your PC? Your phone? Your phone that you're using as your PC? HoloLens, Microsoft's crazy-cool new holographic computer? They all run Windows 10 apps. This new Microsoft doesn't care where you run Windows. ![]() It's the most concise way to describe what's been going on at the company as we get ever-closer to the release of Windows 10 this summer. It’s one core, one store, one platform," Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella told Fortune magazine in an interview last week.

If you replace your arrows, stick with any 20” crossbow arrows weighted to around 425-grain. The only broken one of the bunch was caused by splitting an arrow with another arrow! They shoot straight and fast, and they are durable enough to still look new even after many shots fired, and several groupings where the arrows were all touching. See our detailed guide on how to sight-in your crossbow BoltsĬarbon Express includes 3 20” Maxima Headhunter bolts with the CX-1, and these are very high quality crossbow arrows. I hate LocTiting scope bolts, but that was the only way to prevent the scope from coming loose and sliding down or off the rail. The other problem with the scope, though, is that the bolts holding it to the rail have a tendency to work loose if you don’t put a bit of LocTite on them. Other than the illumination, the scope is pretty fog proof and stays clear even in colder weather. In low light conditions, though, the illumination of the reticles is too bright, even at the lowest rheostat setting, resulting in a halo around the red or green dots and some fogginess in the optics. During daylight hours, it is perfectly adequate for shooting, giving you a crisp, clear picture of the target. The main weak spot with the CX-1 is the scope. The cams rotate smoothly, so your draw will be like pulling a hot knife through butter. I always recommend using rope cocking devices, anyways, because they ensure your draw is even and consistent. That’s okay, because CX includes a rope cocking device with the crossbow package. With a draw weight of 185 pounds, you probably won’t want to pull the string back on this crossbow by hand. This baby never lets me down, and I’ve had several freezers full of meat shot with this particular crossbow. ![]() I’ve personally used the CX-1 for squirrel and rabbit hunting, as well as deer and moose. The astounding accuracy makes it as good for hunting rabbits as it is hunting Cape buffalo. of kinetic energy, it’s great for any legal North American prey you might be hunting. The CX-1 is nice and narrow, as well as lightweight, so carrying it through the bush is no problem. This crossbow is highly customizable, since you can adjust the fore grip anywhere on the full-barrel Picatinny rail to suit your own personal shooting style and adjust for bulky hunting clothing. See our Crossbow Ballistics Guides section for a complete understanding of how we conducted our tests and why this data matters. Your actual results will vary slightly depending on weather, and significantly with arrow weight change. Use our arrow ballistics calculator for more valuable information.īallistic Data For The Carbon Express Covert CX 1 Note that the included scope is designed for 20, 30, 40, and 50 yards, but I found the sweet spot on the scope for 75 yards and it worked perfectly. 22LR rifles from 25 yards, I could (and did) split an arrow!įrom 50 yards, I was able to maintain three-quarter-inch groupings, and when I stepped back to 75 yards, I could keep a 1” grouping. In fact, the accuracy of the Carbon Express Covert CX-1 is on par with my. I was impressed that this crossbow, for its price, is much more accurate than some of my more expensive crossbows. Once I’d sighted in the scope, which only took 3 shots, I started putting the x-bow through its paces to see how accurate it was. I noticed that the arrows would drive into the target block all the way to the vane, so I got a stronger target block to make arrow removal a bit easier. You’ll want to have a good strong target block, and prop it up against something, or you’ll have a heck of a time retrieving your arrows and your target will get knocked over by the force of impact. The CX-1 fires off arrows at 330 fps, and delivers them to the target with 103 ft. Once I had my new crossbow unboxed and assembled, it was time to do some shooting. The most complicated part of assembling this crossbow is aligning the cable slide onto the cables, and the owner’s manual does a great job showing how to do that. All you need to do is mount the riser onto the stock, attach the foot stirrup, and then mount your quiver and scope. I had the CX-1 out of the box and assembled within less than half an hour.

Southwest has the only direct route here, so other airlines would have to take a much longer route, but with over 80k people traveling between the cities, you would expect at least some other airline to show up. Kansas City's O&D is actually very interesting because no airlines expect Southwest show up in their O&D numbers. ![]() Louis and Kansas City without continuing on for some connection. While 295k people flew on the STL-MCI route, only 81k people flew between St. Kansas City (while this route has been around a long time) is a good example of these short routes. Louis has seen its connecting passenger traffic grow which can be seen in the growth of short routes that don't serve as much O&D to St. Both of those airports handle lots of connecting traffic, but with direct flights available, the need to connect through other big Southwest hubs has been reduced. Two routes that saw the most reduction in flights over the last 5 years were DAL and MDW, but part of that reduction happened in conjunction with more direct flights being added to new destinations. There are so many interesting routes to pick apart here, so I'll try to limit myself to some of the more interesting spots.

Only 3 airports (ATL, DAL, and FLL) flying at least 1M departing Southwest passengers have seen a higher percentage growth than STL's 43.8% over that period. Louis has played a prominent role in Southwest's overall expansion plans. Louis as a connecting airport in it's network. Southwest has served both the local passengers and been increasingly using St. Over the past decade, Southwest has continued its expansion, increasing passenger numbers 67% between 20 to 9.6M, adding new gates from the long shuttered Terminal D, and establishing new routes across the country.

Southwest began at the airport in the late 80's serving as a low cost alternative to the dominant TWA. Southwest flies more than half of all passengers at Lambert and shows no signs (MAX airplane issues aside) from losing that dominance anytime soon. But these are all dwarfed by Southwest's additions. While other airlines might add a flight or two, they are contributing passenger gains in the tens of thousands or low hundreds of thousands. Southwest Airlines has been Lambert's largest carrier for over a decade and is almost solely responsible for the passenger gains that have brought the airport's overall passenger counts back to levels not reached since the early 2000's. ![]() ![]() FREE Sample Papers and Important questions are extracted, solved and discussed, ensuring that you are 100% prepared before any exam.
