As I’ve mentioned before I am on vacation in rural Florida, Floral City. Our landlord has an ADTD security system with motion detector, alarmed doors, windows and smoke detector. Twice now, each time I have seared boneless country style ribs, the smoke alarm has gone off and the FD come to investigate the alarm. Once was amusing, twice was embarrassing. Not again I hope. The ribs are in the SV, due out at about 1600. I am not going to pan sear (avocado oil 530ºF smoke point). I will try my Porter Cable 1500 Watt electric hot air gun. I looked for sensible recommendations / reviews but to no avail. There are videos of hot air guns being used but … I talked myself out of a Searzall torch tank. I did notice effectively used charcoal chimney grill starters and I will try that when I get home. I have an old Weber 22” that I have kept up over the decade. I do a four hour grill roast chicken that is a favorite. To leverage the Weber will be a plus. Sunday Milady Wife and I rode to Swampy’s Restaurant in Dunnellon, Florida, a 55 mile round trip. Monday was recovery day off - and cleaning. Today Tuesday we’ll do a little 15 mile round trip. Then the weather is iffy until a Rainbow River float, Saturday, to Swampy’s again - how we discovered the place after a float operated by the shop next door. ---

I bought one like this a long time ago along with a case of butane canisters. I use it for high smoke saring sometimes. Butane has lasted me a long time.

Hmm. Interesting. This is my old camping stove and fuel bottle. It might work too. But I am counting on charcoal grill chimney. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex016/uploads/anova/original/2X/4/480366560ca15d806a6ddb513ee94b8b0135d288.jpeg) ---

I recommend the Weber chimney and a grate over the MSR stove. The chimney will get HOT! Don’t turné your back on it with flod on. ---

The 1500 Watt hit air gun seemed to work well. Milady Wife complimented the boneless country style ribs. I’ll try again. Importantly, the FD did not visit last night.
