    Hello from Toronto!

    From sunny Texas, welcome aboard, Mo.  Seeing as I was born in Toronto, aka Hog Town, I can empathize with your weather issues.  Whatever help you'll need, I'm sure that you'll find it here.

    Need stuffer recomendations!

    HT, I had not considered the bacteria aspect of it.  Actually we managed quite well without the water.  It took a wee bit more effort, but not difficult.  I believe that I can stick with what I'm doing.  It works. I looked into the electric stuffers - hmm, the makers are awfully proud of their...

    Propane conversion

    Now that is a really neat conversion!  I may have to start looking into this more closely.  It would appear that you have solved all of the problems.  Question:  How much smoking time do you get on a 20# tank of propane and at what temperatures?  Also, what is the BTU rating for your burner...

    Need stuffer recomendations!

    I watched a couple of restauranteurs on YouTube make their sausage.  They dissolved their seasoning mix in water and then mixed it into the ground pork shoulder.  This wee bit of additional moisture made it easier to mix the seasoning into the ground pork avoiding hot spots and facilitated...

    LEM Big Bite #12 Meat Grinder Arrived

    I came across this interesting video on YouTube.  The old man is quite the character. The electric sausage stuffer looks wonderful.

    LEM Big Bite #12 Meat Grinder Arrived

     Al, this is my first toy that produces something that I enjoy eating  TallMan, I like the idea of the drill press handle.  The booger in the ointment will be to find a hub with splines cut into it.  By the way, I did 30# of breakfast sausages yesterday by myself - along with several pots of...

    LEM Big Bite #12 Meat Grinder Arrived

    I finally got the hang of stuffing sausage by myself.  One key point is to have a small bowl of water handy to dip one's fingertips in to transfer water to the casing on the horn as the casing dries out too fast, sticks on the horn and blows out.  Once I got the hang of this it became much...

    LEM Big Bite #12 Meat Grinder Arrived

    Right now I am 1/3 of the way through the sausage stuffing process.  I've decided  to make the links about 6" long as the small ones were always a PITA to me to turn in the fry pan.  The longer ones are much easier to turn and eat :-)   I've eaten 3 pansful already. I'm going to rethink my...

    LEM Big Bite #12 Meat Grinder Arrived

    I did my first batch of ground pork shoulder using my wife's KitchenAid Pro counter top mixer with its meat grinding accessory and sausage stuffing accessory.  I bought the pork shoulder from Sam's.  They had bone-in only.  If I had known that the pork shoulder preparation for grinding and then...

    Alternate thermometer

    My MES gage sucks!  It is not even consistent in its error.  I ordered a TW Smoke a few days ago, and am waiting patiently '-)

    Need a Good Thermometer

    My Masterbuilt digital thermometer is off a lot and even worse it is erratic.  Set it at 230° F., and I get 198° F.  Set it at 275”F, and I get 210° F.  I may order a new digital control as the - (minus) button doesn't work too.  I've got a 14# brisket on now, & it's driving me around the bend...

    Hanging babyback ribs

    Steve, I was in a hurry - neat, but pricey in comparison - do appear to save tying twine though .  Let us know how they work - photos too, please. Cliff.

    Hello from Yukon, Canada.

    WOW!  The Yukon.  Welcome aboard   I had an Anderson great uncle who went there ca. 1920s & early 1930s and struck gold on his claim.  He did very well and built a large building in either Dawson or White Horse - can't recall which one - but it was referred to as the Anderson Building.  It's...
