    Insulated Plywood Smokehouse

    That's the same size compressor I've got. What's a quick valve though? Anyway of rigging a foot pedal with air?

    Insulated Plywood Smokehouse

    When I was searching the web I remember seeing a few folks use fiberglass. Most use foam, but my lowes doesn't carry it and I hand the glass laying around. I'm not hot smoking in this and it's sealed up. I was worried about the glass molding from rain water. Looking forward to seeing your build...

    Insulated Plywood Smokehouse

    You gotta be careful with using air. It compresses so you could potentially blow your whole deal apart. I'm having trouble keeping all the water sealed. Maybe a tbsp worth leaks through and messes up my last bit of sausage. Maybe should try the air. Anyone know if CO2 if the same as air as...

    I think it looks pretty dang good. I just finished mine and I agree with you. The cost just keeps going up. Haha. I like the side compartment. I'd be afraid to leave my tank in there. But I'm kind of freaked out by propane tanks. Got a friend that got sent to the burn center because of one.

    Have you opened it up yet? I've heard that they have a certain kind of insulation in them that you can't really burn out. Its like a epoxy fiberglass type of something. I've got one in the backyard but when I started reading that everywhere I didn't get in a hurry to try use it. Not all tanksl...

    Curing meats and "sell by" dates.

    A lot of whole primals, meaning vac packed whole muscles such as brisket, don't even have sell by dates or best by dates. They come with production dates and the retailer puts the sell by on it. Whole primals that come vac packed from the packers will last a long time. With beef if it's bad you...

    Want to make a meat grinder

    Do you mean convert a hand grinder to electric or make one completely from scratch? Easiest thing would be to get a #22 off eBay and hook a washing machine motor to it. Could use a jack shaft to get the rpm right if needed.

    First Buckboard

    I liked it. Tasted kinda salty if you fry it til it's crisp. Fry it just a little bit and it tastes like a ham. Goes great on a burger tho. Got a belly in the freezer I'm gonna do next.

    First Buckboard

    Here's a shot of my first try at some buckboard bacon. Used Tenderquick with brown sugar and some maple syrup thrown in. Can't really taste the maple tho. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    So it's been a month and I'm still not "done". It's running though. Did some snack sticks after seasoning a bit. That's the finished product minus some stain and spar. Some sticks ready to eat. Also made a water stuffer. Guess I'll start a different thread on that if anyone wants me too...
