    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...

    HOOOOTTTTT Snack Sticks.

    Several years ago, ,my friends kept asking for me to make my jerky HOTTER. I ordered some Ghost Pepper powder off Amazon, and the next time i made snack sticks, i was pretty drunk by the time i got to the mixing in the meat mixer. I remember thinking..."You want it Hot, huh....well...your...

    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.

    MES Jerky....first time

    start off at 110 degrees. fire up the AMPS, and get the pellets going. wait about 2 hours, because the moisture from the meat is going to be crazy present. Hour 3: Ramp up temp to 130. Hour 4: Ramp up to 145 Hour 5: Ramp up to 165 20 minutes into Hour 5, start checking the meat to see where its...

    Force drying White Oak for BBQing

    Hey guys, Hope everyone is staying safe during these crazy times. So, with most of my city shut down (Houston, Tx), and me being an Essential Worker (Automotive Repair) and no one having $$$ to fix their cars, I have some time on my hands. My mom and a co-worker just got their stimulus...

    Free smoker...... Or how free is never free

    Hey everyone ; A few weeks ago, my neighbor across the street approached me when I get home from work, and asked me if I wanted his bbq grill. Now, i'm known as that guy who smokes everything. I have a Masterbuilt 40" Electric, a Pitboss 820, and a Pitmaker Safe smoker. When I fire any of them...

    Any experience with DigiQ or CyberQ temp controllers

    I really wanted the CyberQ, but i've read reviews where the user interface isn't as good as it should be, and if you don't have your WI-FI set up properly (who does), it can be a real headache. The only difference between the DX3 is the color. One is black, the other is green.

    Any experience with DigiQ or CyberQ temp controllers

    I saw the ads in my email, and checked them out yesterday. I have been wanting one for a while to use with my Pitmaker Safe smoker, but couldn't justify the cost. I ended up getting the DX3, and it came with a foam case, 2 free bottles of bbq sauce, and I added the magnetic holder. I'm smoking 6...

    Just got a new smoker.. need advise

    I have the tray. It has 3 channels for the pellets to burn in. I also tried it when i had my 30" model, and it always snuffed out the coals for the pellets. I went so far as to buy the Masterbuilt cold smoker attachment, but that was a joke. I had to buy 2 dryer vent attachments, and a flexible...
