    Backyard cooking area and smoker build.

    Very nice! I have been following along with this build thread as well. It's been a nice build with the story along the way, and then ultimately the very successful test cook.

    First Cold Smoke

    It looks and sounds good. I need to take advantage of our warm temperatures right now (-10 to +3 Celsius) to do some cold smoking for cheese and stuff. Although I did some smoked cured turkey for Christmas - turned out good! Keep up the great work!

    First Cold Smoke

    I do a minimum of a 4 hours cold smoke on cheese or bacon, or nuts, or salt, or pastrami, etc, etc,. I myself prefer an 8 hour smoke as a minimum, but we must cater to those we love. It seems to me that 3 hours is a bare minimum and unless you have COVID or some other sense reducing issue, you...

    First Cold Smoke

    Just for science of smoked cheese, why would your wife think you may have compromised smell?

    Smoked cheese questions.

    I just smoked some buckboard bacon. It is currently +3Celsius here in the middle of British Columbia. Unheard of 10 years ago. It used to freeze at halloween and stay frozen until March 15th. I am now thinking of cold smoking some cheese and then some salmon. And then some more cheese...

    Smoked cheese questions.

    I've got some vacuum packed and looking good at about 2-3 years old. I'll have to dig it out and take some pics of me trying and still alive after 48 hours. I put a little garlic powder and chipotle and salt just before vacuum sealing it. Oh! The adventure of Christmas!

    Pop’s brine/cure question

    Just did a 3 day pops brine on chicken drums and thighs. Chicken is usually boring for my wife, but she really liked these(oven baked, not smoked). I have tried the same process on pork ribs(bacon on a stick), and was tempted to brine a lamb leg and smoke it but have not done that yet. I don't...

    Pop’s Brine Broken Down for Information.

    Some have mentioned question marks about the mineral content, but there is also the question of whether your Himalayan salt is iodized or non-iodized. I have had both, and had made the assumption my first stuff did not have iodine added - I was mistaken and had to order the non-iodized version...

    Backyard cooking area and smoker build.

    thanks for the build pics... much more thorough than many that I have seen. I have a couple of questions about the roofing. Is that a simple Coroplast type of material or something different? Do you have much for snowload in your area.... I didn't see where this was from? Just trying to...

    Smokehouse Build #2

    I don't know how to ask without sounding like an impatient voyeur?! It has been like 3 weeks since you got your pallet breaker tool, and as a Canadian I am obliged to say I'm sorry as I ask you if you have any updates on your build? Because what else could you possibly have to do than tease...

    Boy Scout Ingenuity

    I was a cub for awhile as a kid, and enjoyed it, but it didn't "catch". When I got older, I started reconnecting with outdoors stuff that I enjoyed as a kid with my parents(camping, stalking the wild asparagus(a Euell Gibbons sp? book), and then into raising chickens, turkeys, and cows -- then...

    Honey, make some fireman chicken this weekend!

    I gotta be that guy that asks... "when you say boat motor, to what are you referring?". I automatically assume blender, but google translate did not help me here!

    Hey y'all from London, UK

    Welcome from Beautiful BC! Well, a very smokey BC right now with all the forest fire activity. I see you have the OKJ - I have the highland - and it is a fun smoker to have, but it can be a bit finicky with how it burns/smokes. I don't know if you have had the time (or already aware) to read...
