    Quick question on wet cured pork belly

    Awesome!  That is good to know.  You don't have any issues with it not curing in those areas?

    Quick question on wet cured pork belly

    13 days ago, I began curing a pork belly using Pop's recipe for bacon.  As you all know, it is a wet brine/cure and it makes some amazing bacon.   I use 2 gallon ziplock bags for curing the belly and make sure to eliminate all air in the bag so that the belly is submerged in the brine the...

    Does anyone have a recipe that tastes similar to Wild Bill's Jerky?

    I love Wild Bill's jerky and I'm hoping that someone here will have a copy cat recipe.  I've found a few recipes online, but they are Yahoo forum answers, so I don't trust them.   I'm hoping one of the members here has a good answer for me!

    Don Godke Downdraft Kit. Anyone using one?

    I have a GMG Daniel Boone, I want to improve the smoke taste in my food as well as level out temperatures across the grill from left to right.  I am ordering a Don Godke Downdraft kit.  Has anyone installed one of these on their pellet grill and if so, how do you like it?

    Buying a pellet grill this weekend, need input ASAP, which brand/model?

    I'm very impressed. The Daniel Boone holds temps better than I could have imagined. When I set a temp and the grill settles in on that temp, there is literally only a +/- 4 degree fluctuation and most of the time it's less than that. Very sturdy grill and the wifi is easy to configure. Good...

    Gmg jim bowie vs pellet pro 969

    I bought a Louisiana LG700 last week and took it back due to issues with the controller, temps were WAY out of range 100 plus degree swings and the controller would freeze up. Last night, I ordered a GMG Daniel Boone with Wifi from the local dealer.  He's going to deliver it on Thursday.

    I wish I could afford a rec tec but we just bought my wife a new car that was WAY more than i had budgeted! I took the Louisiana back to Cabelas and ordered a Daniel Boone with the Wifi controller. It will be delivered on Thursday by the local dealer.

    No dice. Made the changes and it still can't hold a temp.

    Buying a pellet grill this weekend, need input ASAP, which brand/model?

    I contacted customer service.  I got right through and they emailed me pictures of some common items that may be out of place.  Also, they sent me instructions on how to change some of the parameters on the controller.  The gal I spoke with said to call back tomorrow if I still experience issues...

    I've calmed down a bit and Im going to call customer service tomorrow and see if they can make it right. I love the features on this grill but, man, it's off to a shaky start with the controller issue.

    Buying a pellet grill this weekend, need input ASAP, which brand/model?

    Well, it looks like I'll be taking this grill back to Cabelas. The temp control unit on this thing is garbage. After following directions on initial run on Friday night and following directions on start mode today, the temperature would swing high above my target temp would not stabilize. I...

    I ended up buying a Louisiana LG 700. Cabelas had it for $699. I've got two big racks of spare ribs in the fridge ready for tomorrow. We'll see how it goes!

    Buying a pellet grill this weekend, need input ASAP, which brand/model?

    My patience has run thin and I've decided to pull the trigger on a pellet grill this weekend.  I'll either pick one up from a local store or order one online, but I'm definitely looking to do so over the weekend, possibly on the way home from work. My buddy has a Traeger Lil' Tex Elite Pro, I'm...

    Turkey breast for slicing into lunch meat? Anyone do this?

    I buy sliced turkey from Sam’s Club and bring a turkey sandwich to work for lunch every day.  I think it’s about time that I try making my own deli sliced turkey by smoking turkey breasts from the grocery store.  Does anyone else do this?  If so, do you brine the breast and inject it?  Any...

    methods of smoking ribs

    I go with 230 degrees.  On for 2.5 to 3 hours, then I wrap with foil and a big squirt of squeeze Parkay and a little brown sugar and cook wrapped for 2 hours.  Then, depending on how they look, I'll throw them back on, unwrapped for 1 hour. Good stuff!
