    How hard is it to make bread?

    My $0.02 (probably worth less than half that): The wife has been making sourdough for about 6 months now, and as stated above it's like having a pet you have to care for. The end result is fantastic, but it's definitely work. We had a bread machine years ago and it made decent bread. Then the...

    I'm looking at under $200 wood/charcoal pizza ovens, anybody have tips on which is best?

    Check out Facebook Marketplace. I found a Vevor 12" dual fuel (wood pellet or propane) that a guy was selling, with a cover and a big cart, all in practically unused condition for $80!! I think people like the idea of the outdoor pizza ovens, but when they get them they realize there is some...

    Smoked Corned Beef for Sammiches and Whatnot

    Left it safely for almost two hours, in the smoker, set to 170, covered in the foil pans. When I took them out they were in great shape and piping hot. Interestingly, one brisket (with a big fat cap) was lean inside, juicy, and yet cut easily into strips for sammiches. The other, that had...

    Smoked Corned Beef for Sammiches and Whatnot

    Welp, I guess I'll leave them in their pans covered and drop the smoker temp to maybe 170ish? We'll be gone probably 2 hours so hopefully I'm safe to do it this way. If I understand safe cooking temps, I think I'm OK. Just hoping to not dry the meat out (which I don't think I will with it...

    Smoked Corned Beef for Sammiches and Whatnot

    I'm currently smoking 2 corned beef briskets I had in the freezer. I'll post pics and details later, but as I'm nearing the end of the cook (currently in the smoker, in pans, covered) I need to know how long I can let it sit in there before cutting. We have to run to a funeral visitation for a...
