  • BOTL UPCOMING MAINTENANCE

    Hi Everyone, as mentioned in my introduction post, BOTL needs quite a bit of updating, patching and whatever else I might come across. Over time BOTL may be unreachable on occasion as I do migrations or updates, etc. Just be patient - we'll be back! I'll generally try to keep these maintenances until later in the evenings.

    Blackening Seasoning recipe

    Ok boys...here's the deal... I received this info from Chef via pm: "Yes you have it right, but you need to ground and crush your own spices and peppercorns, as well as mince fresh herbs... the durango smoked sea salt is the natural way to give it the smoked flavoring and goes along way. and...

    Blackening Seasoning recipe

    I was hoping someone with "Chef" in their moniker would respond, actually. What additional ingredients would you suggest other than salt. Anything? (the point of the original thread :)). Thanks.. I'd like to go fresh, but....baby steps :)

    Blackening Seasoning recipe

    I cook it at 500 degrees for five minutes. Top down. You'll never want beef after this :) edit: non stick foil, wrapped loose.

    Blackening Seasoning recipe

    I threw these ingredients together just now, and it smells wonderful (extra red pepper). Anyone?

    The Official Cigar Deals Thread

    I'm not quite broke...yet. Is this merely a "good deal" or a steal? If it's huge, I'll jump on it, but I've never tried them. Any more info?

    Glock trigger pull

    Update (if anyone is interested :)). I took my "Baby Glock" to the weapons training guys at my work. They switched out the 8 with the 5 that I bought and I shot about 30 rounds with the new trigger. Honestly, I did not notice a huge difference, but accuracy was slightly better (I shot at 15 and...

    Herrera Esteli

    I smoked through a fiver of The belicosos. This is a unique cigar for sure. Smoking speed makes more of a difference with this cigar than with any other I've smoked. Smoke it fast, and it's just another stick. Smoke it slow and it's a $15 stick. This is coming from a goat-palate, but I can...

    Blackening Seasoning recipe

    I'm looking for an alternative to Trader Joe's Blackened Salmon (which I love, but it's expensive). I can get salmon cheaper at Costco and make my own. The problem is, Trader's blackening is awesome. All of the pre-made blackening seasonings I've tried are loaded with salt, so I looked online...

    Just sayin

    I have a Streamlight 2L as well. I left it in a backpack in direct sunlight all day one August (Borrego desert, 115 degrees). The battery exploded. I cleaned it out with q-tips and alc swabs. It fired right back up. That was three years ago. The lens didn't even melt :)

    Glock trigger pull

    "If you need help I will Skype or Facetime with you and help you install the parts." - abomb60 This is one of the many reasons I love this place. I'll let you know, brother. I truly appreciate the offer, and I may take you up on it via pm.

    Glock trigger pull

    I shoot right, but I'm ambidextrous. My left eye is dominant, however. I'm a little bit better shooter right than left for some reason. I write left handed. There is no clear inconsistency with my groups at distance, but there is a jump with accuracy. Initially, I attributed it to the small...

    Glock trigger pull

    I'm gonna buy a 5 and check it out. I'm familiar with Glocks, but not at this level. Excellent info. Thanks

    Smoking culebras and liking it

    These things are fascinating creatures for me. I'm amazed that every single culebra that I've smoked has had an immaculate draw and burn (many Tat Old Men, an LFD, and another, which I can't recall at the moment). I would love to hear from one of the many cigar manufacturers who frequent...

    Glock trigger pull

    Thanks fellas...great info. I'm a good shot, but my accuracy at distance is less than what I expect with the smaller Glock. The 27 was purchased with the standard spring more than 10 years ago, but it was swapped it with an 8 pounder. I don't have to keep the 8 if I don't like it. The problem is...

    Viaje Is aging really well.

    I've been a Viaje pessimist for about a year (since Frakas went to the "limited edition only" thing). However, this thread makes me wanna reconsider. Good to know that they are blossoming nicely :) Edit: I'm kinda pissed that I sold / gifted so many early on. Satori especially.

    Glock trigger pull

    I have a Glock 27 question for those in the know: What are the pros and cons of changing the spring from 8 pounds to 5 pounds? If you have experience with both, please post. Does a lighter trigger pull enable better accuracy at distances beyond 15 yards or so? Any info is much appreciated.

    What's New?

    Be sure to grab some of the noella and regios reserva. Get both, as they are quite different from each other, in my experience. Welcome back :)
