    Favorite injection for pork butt?

    I've always injected just prior to smoking, but with pork butts, they can take a higher temp. Jeff's 5 hour pork butt smokes at 300°, if I remember right. My injection is usually apple juice, apple cider vinegar, and rub. But I have had success with using apple sauce or even grape jelly.

    Grilled Beef Two Ways…..Prime NY and “Way Beyond Prime” Short Ribs!!

    Holy cow, civil! I had to break out the mop to clean all the drool on the floor. Only wish I could pound that "love" button more than once!

    Just Curious On What All States Do?!

    WA changed it to this way in 2016. You just need to get an online permit w/in 24 hours of the roadkill. I used to give some of my frozen deer to a foodbank. They could accept it as long as it was professionally cut and wrapped. Not a problem for me, as a local butcher would dress them out for...

    Pastrami

    My go-to is from another departed mentor on this board, Chef Jimmy J. Here's his recipe, you might try it next time to compare. Chef Jimmy J's Pastrami

    Any Waffle Recipes?

    The wife and I used to go to a certain AI resort in Puerto Vallarta, where one of the breakfast items was fresh made waffles. I know that doesn't sound very new or exciting, but there was something about these that transcended the experience. I could never quite put my finger on how they made...

    This is how I feel

    Can't remember who said this, probably a comedian, but might have been me. "When did it become illegal to offend someone?"

    After loving and eating tomatoes my whole life, now I seem to be alergic to them.

    Wow, that really sucks. I can't imagine going without any tomato products. Hope it isn't permanent.

    Lite humor

    Seems to be universal. I didn't think 5 was too many.

    Never dreamed I'd see the day I'd be priced out of fast food

    Minimum wage in WA is now $16.28 hr. Higher in some cities. Geez, when I worked in a restaurant in the late 70's, it was $2.35. There is a local, family owned hamburger chain that's been around for 70 years, that has always been way out in front of employee wages & benefits. Check out the...

    Never dreamed I'd see the day I'd be priced out of fast food

    I will admit to occasionally partaking in fast food. But the only way to get a deal anymore is to have their app on your phone. Jack-in-the-Box did have a good fish sandwich for about $3.25 recently. It's bigger and half the price of McDonald's filet-o-fish.

    Low sodium bacon

    That's what I did when wet curing bacon. The recipe calls for up to 1 cup of salt per gallon. I found that about 1/3 cup was the sweet spot for me, so that probably qualifies as low-sodium.
