Being monkfish is a firm fish it will hold up on the grill very well. Over a medium-high heat on the grill cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side and let stand for about five minutes before serving. Unlike tuna where you cook it rare, you want the monkfish to be done. Look for an internal temperature of 145 degrees.
Insulating basement walls in cold climates is a great way to keep your home warmer and drier. However, special care should be used when insulating concrete (or block masonry) basement walls. Below grade concrete foundation walls are very col and damp. If you were to insulate the walls with regular fiberglass batt insulation it is very likely that a mold problem would develop.
If you plan to insulate your basement walls with spray foam, the best approach is to frame your 2x4 walls before the foam is sprayed, leaving a gap of 1 to 2 inches between the back of the studs and the concrete wall. The gap will later be filled with spray foam.hen this type of insulation is installed in contact with concrete, the moisture in the interior air condenses against the cold concrete surface, leading to mold and rot. Thatâs why I advise builders that fiberglass batts, mineral wool insulation, and cellulose should never be installed against a basement wall.
