    Anyone know the name of this type of grill?

    Here you go. https://www.jamestownadvanced.com/grills We have one of their 30" fire pit rings set in landscaping blocks in the yard. I ordered a slight variation of a standard pit custom built without the cooking grate and picked it up on a visit to family when in Upstate NY. It's 3/16" thick...

    Hello from New York soon to be Texas.

    Mike, I spent 29 years (10 years active duty) Army/Army National Guard 11C, 11B and 11Z. My career was evenly split between light and mechanized infantry. I pulled the pug in 2005. My wife and I both grew up outside Buffalo but met in Central NY when our oldest sons were in scouts together. We...

    Can ya recommend a WOK?

    We have a pair of these same Joyce Chen carbon steel woks in 14" size; one has the lid. We use them often for stir fries, steaming in bamboo steamer baskets, deep and shallow frying etc. They are highly rated by America's Test Kitchen if that kind of thing matters to you. Our kitchen range...

    Choosing A Pizza Oven ??

    I don't use the mixer much but coming from having a 20 qt Univex mixer when we had our farm in NY I like bowl lift mixers. On the other hand, my wife likes to bake enough so that we have three ovens in the kitchen. We have a 6.5 qt bowl lift KA mixer and she would love to trade it for a tilt...

    What size expanded metal do most use for offset smoker smoke chamber grates?

    Flat is a lot easier to season and clean. And it's easier to weld. 3/4" #9 is by far the most common choice. Any steel supply house will either stock or have access to flattened expanded metal. And it is pretty common on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist around here.

    Supply Run

    Bill, we buy 5/1 (5 to the pound) Nathan's all beef hot dogs at the local Restaurant Depot. We prefer them to Hoffman's, Sahlen's from over Buffalo way or anything we've found in the south. We had a 90 acre farm between Auburn and Skaneateles for 20+ years and sold it in 2017 to move full time...

    Supply Run

    Well, you could have swung by Syracuse Casings for some hog or sheep casings, gone to European Specialties in the Westvale Plaza for some good Eastern European sausages (try the kabanosy and szynkowa) or some of their smoked fish, cured meats, spectacular breads, etc. Or you could have stopped...

    Hello from North Carolina!

    One technique for wet curing is to submerge the product in a container of brine and keep it submerged with a bag of brine. That way if the bag breaks it will maintain the strength of the brine.

    Cast Iron square skillet ID?

    Absolutely a Wagner. And most likely a later production piece. Here's one I have that's awaiting restoration. Compared with my earlier Wagner pans and my older Griswold, Lodge and Birmingham Stove and Range (AKA: BSR) pans and some of my older unmarked and un-attributable pans (and Dutch...

    Alternative to filling propane tank with water ?

    Just turn the tank upside down. After seeing "Mayberry" in your forum name I asked about your location as we live in the land of Andy Griffith in Pinnacle, NC. We're four miles from Pilot Mountain (AKA: Mount Pilot) and a few more miles from Mount Airy, NC, (AKA: Mayberry). If you'd have...

    Alternative to filling propane tank with water ?

    @mayberrysmoke , I've always had the luxury of leaving them for an extended time (sometimes years...) with all the bungs and fittings removed but have still filled them with water and a good dose of Dawn dish washing liquid and let them soak for a week or two before cutting them. I've never had...
