    Sous Vide Brisket.

    I just did my first sous vide/smoked brisket ever. I reversed the method, sous vide first at 145º for 45 hours. When I removed it from the bath, I patted it dry, rubbed it down with dry rub, and cooled it to an internal temp of 130º. Place it in the smoker set to 225º and cooked until it...

    MTN Sausage Stuffer... Anyone have one?

    How can being in the Idaho Clearwater range in October not go well, Mike?  God's country.  Oh, and yes, I got a deer, too!  Time to get the grinder out!

    MTN Sausage Stuffer... Anyone have one?

    Let me try this again.  The first time didn't seem to work. Sorry for the delay in responding, Mike, I was out hunting.  Anyway, that Weston Supply part number is 73-0516 and the description is "Stuffer, 5# & 11# - Plunger O-ring."

    MTN Sausage Stuffer... Anyone have one?

    Thought I'd check back in with the final solution. After A LOT of searching and research, this site helped me the most in fining a replacement O ring for my MTN stuffer.  I couldn't find the exact fit, but went out on a limb and bought one from Weston supply that has a grooved ring, much like...

    Two Sourdough Questions

    Mdboatbum, a long time ago I learned that pressure within an yeast culture can inactivate (not necessarily kill) the culture, so I store my starter in a mason jar with a lock-type lid, like one you describe as a "Grolsch" bottle, but I simply remove the rubber gasket.  A starter will most...

    MTN Sausage Stuffer... Anyone have one?

    This is what my MTN stuffer looks like.  Thanks for posting the pix, Mike.  My own stuffer's cylinder has an inner diameter of approximately 5.75 inches and a length of 8 inches.  I think it would be classified as a 5 pound.

    MTN Sausage Stuffer... Anyone have one?

    Thanks gents.  It is a grooved O ring, unfortunately.  I've got a query into Weston.  Seems all these companies today have forgotten what a phone is.  They all want you to contact them via email, and take days to answer, if at all. At the moment I'm dead-in-the-water, where my stuffer is...

    MTN Sausage Stuffer... Anyone have one?

    Hope someone's still following this thread.  I have an MTN and have busted that ridiculously expensive O ring.  It's either replace it or look for a new stuffer!  Problem is, I can't find a source for parts.  Anyone have a company or telephone number for me?
