    Help with first time bacon.

    This place continues to amaze me. We all know our phones and/or google listens in on us to decide what to show us. But this is a bit different. The boss brought in a case of pork bellies because a customer asked for some ( and as yet has not returned to buy any) We seldom ever bring any in for...

    Fish Tacos!

    I have never had a fish taco in my life, but I love me some catfish. I just can't seem to wrap my head around Cabbage on a taco. My mind says it's a texture that don't belong. If anything is going to get me to give it a shot, it's this !! Looks good is an understatement to the highest degree...

    Masterbuilt Electric Smoker Needs Better Chip Burner.

    Virtually everyone with a masterbuilt has had this problem. I think sometimes the chip tray sits slightly too far away from the element to smolder the chips at 130 deg. Some folks have had some success in reforming or somehow adusting the height of the tray. The next problem or annoyance will...

    Sourdough Mishap

    I had a starter going well but after much abuse I finally ruined it. Lessons learned, maybe 1. use a jar that holds at least twice as much as the starter you put in it. It will double or more in size. 2. if you store it in the fridge, put a solid cover on it. I did not and after a couple...

    Bread Bow Knife

    Guess I might have to make something like this. I got a used meat saw blade (for boneless meats) from work when the meat cutter decided to change blades. I'm guessing better than 8 feet long. 2tpi scalloped tooth. Turns out they are fairly cheap on amazon, if anyone is looking for a longer...

    When Double Sealing Vac Bags ??

    Dang i guess I've been doing it wrong. I use the low end foodsaver sucker with Out of Air bags (they are thicker). I seal then without shifting the bag, open the latch and close it again, then seal the same spot a second time. I get very few lost seals.

    New addition to the family.

    Congrats on the new pup. I've had my heart set on a yellow Lab for a number of years. Maybe once I retire, then I'll have the time to devote to training. That is just way too much dog to be undisiplined, but a true joy when they are.

    Cheesy Chicken and Poblano Soup

    question on the sazon goya. All my web searches come up with sazon goya achiote y culantro instead of sazon goya achiote y cilantro. the only cilantro is with annato. What am I actually looking for ?

    Auber 1520 wifi question....

    I have never tried it on mine. I'm still trying to work thru some connection issues. Perhaps @zwiller will chime in on this one. He likely knows more about the wifi model than most of us.

    New Smoker in St. Louis

    I work in the meat dept at local grocery chain. We have gotten a lot of request and have checked warehouse stock many times. There are none in the warehouse to be had. This does seem to be the case for all of our competitors as well. Even turkey breast are hard to find. Unfortunately nobody...

    Pork prep/storage question

    I'm with smokerjim on this one. 3 days to me is no big deal for refrigerated leftovers.

    Survey for Daughter's Math Class

    Given the choices, I have to go with Baseball. Never much cared for anything involving a ball or teams. I prefer to hunt and fish. Haven't had time for either for years but maybe after I retire.

    Need PID help/direction.

    One thing to add, buying a new smoker is just spending money on a smoker with the same issues that hasn't failed YET !! The PID fixes most of those issues.
