    Liquid Smoke Summer Sausages

    Im interested here about this. The weather here has gone full blown stupid winter mode so smoking is out. Hoping for some real world opinions on using liquid smoke. I was wanting to make a summer sausage also. Corey

    Smoke Vault Mod - New Exhaust

    Can you add an adjustable flue? I built a 14' chimney for my pellet grill out of PVC pipe and used a knife valve for a flue. I can dial that is perfectly. Im not suggesting you use PVC, mine us apples to oranges, but a way to adjust it on the fly is nice. corey

    Dehydrator

    Im in the camp of bought one but don't use it as much as i thought. Its a good one, but i guess my imagination isn't good enough. I made jerky and dried the green onions from the garden. Corey

    What to look for shopping for chamber sealer?

    About all you can do is cut it down to size and vac smaller pieces. Not much else. If it can't fit and can't be cut down, it pretty much doesn't get vac sealed. Corey

    What to look for shopping for chamber sealer?

    I have a Vacmaster VP112, but i don't think they are available anymore. Seems its now a VP112S. I can fit a 12x14 bag in mine, thats plenty big for anything i do. Mine has a bit of a pan inside so i can vac liquids, very handy for soups or chilli. Oil or oil less, i can't say if one is better...

    Any business owners here who work with their spouse?

    This is a slippery slope, but why not let your wife design something, you produce it, and see how it does. If it takes off great, if it doesn't, well then there is a conversation to be had there. My 2 cents Corey

    Cold Weather Pellet Smoking

    I was able to buy an insulation blanket for my Camp Chef. But after about -15c /5 F the fans and moving parts don't really like it too much until things warm up a bit. 😉 Corey

    Great Saphenous Vein Removal

    I work with a fellow who has been dealing with a Bakers Cyst, that poor bugger is suffering. You never think of the long term effects of working in the trades or jobs where you stand and walk for hours on end, for decades. These things always come home to roost eventually. Corey

    Great Saphenous Vein Removal

    Due to how bad my vein was the surgeon opted to just remove it. My regular doctor kind of dropped the ball a bit. I had phlebitis for a while and i didn't really know what it was, went to the doctor, it was treated as psoriasis, by this time the vein was basically a write off. When i finally saw...

    Im in the precess of recuperating from a surgery i got a few days ago, i went in to get a vein removed from my left leg. It was basically doing nothing anymore, just causing my leg to swell up bad. Things seem to have gone according to plan. Just wondering if anyone else here has gone through a...

    Trying again… brisket going in.

    I was loosing heat from my granite counter, so i insulated the pan with a bunch of towels, i set them under the pan. Let the temp drop about 10 deg. Then wrap in tinfoil, towels and i picked up a heavy Styrofoam food transport box. It keeps the brisket warm for 2 to 3 hrs. Works well Corey

    Trying again… brisket going in.

    I will put my 2 cents in here. I solved my dry brisket issue when i discovered the rest was too rapid, it was cooling before the juice could redistribute. Once i discovered and solved that, moist brisket. Corey
