    What is Preferred?

    Same as @02ebz06! Feel much better when the remote is next to the bed on an overnighter. Not so confident with the phone apps. Al

    On the Edge of Trying Sausage Making

    We started with a KA, for grinding & stuffing, and quickly found that for a few bucks I could get a dedicated grinder & stuffer. But I think you are smart getting the stuffer, and if you’re doing small batches the KA grinder will be fine. But I think that if you continue down this road you will...

    Slicers w Sharpeners

    That is a great idea Brian. It only takes a few seconds on the stone to get razor sharp, so I just sharpen it every few times I use it. Which is not very often these days! Al

    Fasting

    We stop eating around 4:00 PM, then don’t eat again until 7:00 AM. But we do eat several small snacks or meals during the day. I weigh the same that I did in High School. I guess you just have to find what works for you THAT you can stick with without feeling deprived. Good luck! Al

    First mozzarella attempt

    I have found that the milk is the most important thing. If you can get farm fresh unpasteurized milk, that would be the best. Don’t buy ultra pasteurized milk, it won’t work at all. We use TG Lee whole milk. I have tried several other brands, and have had several failures. If the cheese doesn’t...

    Who all runs a water pan in their stick burner?

    I had a Lang & always put a mud pan filled with water next to the firebox end on the bottom grate. It makes a huge difference in the side to side temps. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/mods-to-my-lang-36.280440/. This photo was before I got an 18” mud pan, but as you can see the little...

    Injecting Ribs?

    I have injected ribs with Tony C’s marinade with very good results. It doesn’t take much injection to really fill the ribs up. If you try it I would definitely leave the membrane on to help hold in the juices. Good luck! Al

    Damn.... Do Y'all Think They're Safe?

    I did a butt overnight at 180 degrees, it was only 160 after 12 hours. Let it ride for another 12 hours at 180 on the R/T. It made it all the way to 203 at 180 CC temp, go figure. IMHO they are totally safe to eat. Al

    Shipping Natural Casings

    As the above said, no ice needed. When you get the casings use this method to store them & they will last for years. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/how-to-handle-natural-casings.159729/ Al

    Upcoming membership payment

    I joined back in 2009, & immediately saw the info available & the kind & friendly atmosphere. So I paid for the lifetime membership, I’m a moderator, but still paid the full price. And even with Jeff’s discounts available now, I would still pay the $100 again. I’m not as active on here as I once...

    Bbq guru

    Yes, Chris is right, I had one for about 10 years. Great unit back then, so I bet they are even better now. Never even had to buy any probes. When I sold the WSM the Guru went with it & I bet it still works! Al
