    Vacuum sealer experiences. opinions requested.

    Webstruant store has the Vacmaster 360 for 250 bucks. I have one and it's rock solid. I use it now as a backup for my Vacmaster 320 chamber sealer

    Started Canadian Bacon

    I find that 3 weeks in the cure does the trick for me. We put up about 35-40 pounds every other month and sell it. Smoke it for about 5 hours @190 degrees, wrap and finish it off in the oven.

    Playa Del Carmen

    We've been going to Cozumel for years now. Couple of years back we took the ferry across to PDC. Streets are crazy full with pushy vendors. We ate lunch then hit the ferry back to Cozumel. We've seen PDC and have no desire to go back

    Favorite character on Yellowstone?

    1883 had just about every movie contrivance in it. McGraw and Hill ruined it for me.

    Smoke Gen Question / Issue

    Not enough oxygen for the pellets. A tube smoker works better with a heat source like your setup

    Did A LIttle Thing Today

    Sliced up 17 pounds of sliced Canadian bacon, vacuum packed, then vacuum packed 10 pounds of fresh pecans. They'll be used througout the year along with about 6 pounds of 2022 pecans.

    Finally Made it to H.E.B.

    Next time don't butterfly those flap steaks. You can also get them from Costco. Hard Core Carnivore's Michelada seasoning is epic on flap meat fajitas. Turn out juicy and full of flavor.

    100% hickory or 100% mesquite pellets online?

    It's hard to find 100% fruit wood as well as hickory. Fruit wood is soft and has to have a harder wood mixed in so the pellets will feed properly.

    Powdered smoke flavor versus liquid

    I have tried the hickory smoke powder several times, not for jerky, but for steaks, fajitas and the like on my gas grill to get a little more flavor going. Works good, A little goes a long way

    Slicing Bacon Against the Grain

    I used to cure bellies by cutting in half before curing to fit my 200$ slicer. If I didn't put a toothpick in the cut sides I couldn't tell end from end. I finally sliced a half belly with the grain and couldn't tell the difference after cooking.. The grain is what I call "omnidirectional" in...

    Homemade Deli Ham

    I had an extra pork loin after putting up 25 lbs of canadian bacon. We had seen a YT video of someone making a baked deli style ham out of a pork loin that looked good so wth? Used the remainder of the brown sugar cure we had along with SPG. Vacuum sealed and let cure for 3 weeks. Baked it at...
