    starting a food booth

    I think your key is having some done and frozen on site and ready, and then try to cook perfect and if you run short boom you have more in 10-15 minutes.  I have been looking into doing this for awhile now and getting a business plan together, but having some extra frozen and vacuum sealed that...

    Left over pork butt

    What is this "leftover pork" you speak of?  Never heard of it :).

    Picture perfect pulled pork on my MES (and it was my first time!!) Lots of Q-view

    Butts are a great place to start, and this one looks beautiful!  I like mine just about like that but with a little vinegar based finishing sauce (base on the finishing sauce recipe in the sticky here).  Helps take that smoky bark flavor more throughout the meat.

    What are you using to generate you smoke?  I get white smoke when using chips in my propane smokers like this, I have great luck with larger chunks. Also are you soaking your wood?

    Can you describe more specifically what type of smoke you are getting?  Not enough, too cloudy and white?  What are you using  As far as lower temps, I think the best thing you can do is increase the draft with a chimney on top, if you take the flame much lower I think I would have a problem...

    Food safety concern, help wanted.

    Are you flipping/agitating the bag at all, or is it doing this all on its own? I have never seen that, but the soluble fats that are in the meat I would think could cause bubbles if it has liquid thats agitated.

    bacon cure

    Cure and metal is never a good idea........definately post pictures.  Curing is a chemical reaction and metal reacts to it.

    New Meat Grinder

    That grinder is good grinder, it will work its way through the meat.  These grinders on northern tools site are the same ones gander mtn rebrands as their guide series.....I saw this one in person, and the one I link below, and went with the heavier duty one.  At times mine could be called on to...

    Kitchenaid attachments?

    What are you wanting to do exactly?  I know alot of guys around here use the grinder and say it works great, but you can order a small hand crank which is great to get started with for about $25.  This is a grinder I know a couple guys have around here, I think for long sustained grinds its a...

    pulled pork noob

    Yes...don't be afraid of pulled pork.  To me the only mistake you can make is not allotting enough time for the meat when it stalls, and not getting it done in time.  Pulled pork reheats very well.  I make huge batches and vacuum seal it in pouches, then boil the pouch to reheat it.  Crock pot...
