    LEM 25Lb tilt meat mixer on sale

    I'd say you are right. I'd also say that, so far, it seems worth it. I made 16Lbs of summer sausage for the Holidays, and i was able to add some spices, mix, do a test fry, add more, mix, test fry, and so on until it came out like i liked it. The tilt feature was really helpful in getting it...

    Hey guys, just getting the word out... LEM 25lb tilt meat mixer is on sale at Amazon for $389. I got a price drop alert from camelcamelcamel, and it's the lowest price it's been for a year or so. I was going to get one last year, but the almost $500 price tag kept me from pulling the trigger...

    Did i mess up my sausage???

    10mm. Ran the meat thru it 3 times. 1st grind, meat was partially frozen. Added spices and cure. Hand mixed for 10 minutes. 20 minute rest in the freezer, ran thru again. Added 4 fresh jalapenos. Hand mix again. 20 minute rest in freezer, then final grind, then stuffed.

    Did i mess up my sausage???

    basically about 90 degrees. I have a Vault Safe. I put a pellet tube in the bottom fire chamber, hooked up my BBQ Guru to pump oxygen into it, so it'll keep the pellets going. Otherwise, it'll snuff out. And just let it ride until i went to bed.

    Did i mess up my sausage???

    Morning everyone... I made some Meat Church Holy VooDoo sausage over the weekend. Here is the video: I say over the weekend, but i should really say on Sunday. I was supposed to start on Saturday, but fell sick, so stayed in bed all day Saturday. I got up Sunday feeling much better. Cut up...

    Anyone else notice Pork shoulders/butts are 'Different'?

    So, i leaned to bbq by using pork shoulders. I don't trim my shoulders or butts, but they usually have enough fat on them that they still come out juicy. Fast forward to late 2022 and 2023. The pork shoulders that i have been getting are very lean, and the last few cooks that i've done, the...

    Question on sausage stuffers

    I had the same stuffer, and I know all too well about how much meat is left in the elbow. I just recently bought an LEM 10lb electric stuffer, and when I was playing around with it, the VERY FIRST THING I noticed whs that the bottom of the stuffer has a slight indention for the meat to flow out...

    LEM Motorized 10 lb. Stuffer?

    I just got my 10lb electric stuffer from LEM as well. I haven't used it yet, as I'm waiting for my wife to leave out of town before I destroy the kitchen. I got 30% off on their Cyber Monday sale, and I've been waiting for it to be affordable since 2018. FINALLY GOT IT!!! My last stuffer was...

    A pellet smoker that actually smokes meat??

    If you want the convenience of a pellet grill, and about as close to a stick burner smoke flavor as you can get.... i'd DEFINITELY look into the LoneStar Grillz pellet smoker . It's pricy, but go watch some youtube videos on it. I think Smokey Ribs BBq that has one.

    Bought a Weber propane grill...

    The grill is in excellent condition. I was messing around of Facebook marketplace, and found a smoking deal on a 1 year old Pit Boss 700 classic with a cover for $170. I went and got it last weekend, and i've already used it like 5 times. My chicken is awesome, my sausage is perfect, and i don't...

    Bought a Weber propane grill...

    And i hate it. Backstory: in a attempt to clean out my garage, and to dwindle down my possessions, at the beginning of the year, i sold a bunch of my stuff on Craigslist and other apps. Like a damn fool, i sold my Pit Boss 820 Deluxe pellet smoker. Then about a month later, COVID hit, and...

    MES Jerky....first time

    I'd smoke for the first 2 hours. After that, it'd be ALOT of smoke for the meat to take on, and you run the risk of over-smoking it to the point that you've just make edible smoke pucks.
