    Who remembers what good eggs were like?

    That "walmart egg" is still labeled as grade A. I've noticed the same, local eggs for me have been hit or miss.

    Commercial refrigerator build need help please

    I would guess 220 VAC is what would be needed. I use a 120 volt 1500 watt heat element, it can hold 275⁰ with temps near 0 but I'm 1/4 the size of your fridge. You'll have a lot of meat to bring up to temp and a high rate of heat loss with the ventilation.

    Supply chain issues

    Well it wasn't affecting me much but it is now. I generally get a bunch of meat and process it. Pork was just on sale so I'm good there but only 1 lb of beef and 1 deer burger left. What I'm not understanding is where did all this meat go when I went to my parents this summer they said 11000...

    Smoked my first cream cheese

    Something I've been wanting to do and a recent thread reminded me that I need to try this. Just one block of cream cheese coated it with evoo ten drops of my fermented ghost pepper sauce then about a tablespoon of Jeff's Texas Rub. Smoked it for two hours at 200⁰ with alder pellets. The smoke...

    Stupid Question? And a dare.

    Wouldn't that be something if the best ribs were alfalfa smoked. I would try it but only 100% organic alfalfa.

    Smoked cream cheese

    Something I keep threatening to do. Your on the right track, use it however you want but I would avoid the cheesecake idea.
