More great info! You got me wondering if I should change my mixing paddle.
I know when we spoke I mentioned the one I used is mostly because it is longer so helps me being taller and I have a herniated disk so the less bending at the back for me the better... Though I wonder if simpler/easier...
We were thrilled to finish second in the judges voting! Thanks to the committee who put this together, to everyone who donated a prize, to the voters, and to @TulsaJeff for hosting the forum.
I won't start a separate thread describing my entry, since I'm missing a number of key photos of the...
It has a very unique flavour not replicated by actual chicken meat. I never figured out why they called it mock chicken other than when it first came to market during the war, it was to replace chicken that was scarce and expensive and back then was only made with the cheaper and more available...
And there isn't a box, bag, or package of pre-frozen store bought crap in any of them! All full of the bounty that Louisiana provides....crawfish, shrimp, crab, frog legs, salt water fish, fresh water fish, waterfowl, wild turkey, Deer, Wild hog, and a whole lot of smoke sasuage!!! LOL! (and...
We’ll due to a work trip last week I found myself in Dallas on Thursday night. We did not have a meeting until 6pm Friday so I talked my coworker into a little adventure on Friday Morning. I realized we were only 1 hour from the number 1 rated bbq place in all of Texas. The next morning at 7am I...
Yeah the entire Houston area is so large an congested that traffic will suck.
Now as for BBQ houses in the Houston area I can't point out any true gems BUT if you want to stop at a Papas BBQ you will get really great BBQ and it honestly does the best BBQ chicken of any BBQ place I've been.

If you prefer a leaner option, you can use ground turkey as a substitute..but you will need to compensate for the lower fat content of the meat to prevent dryness. I'd add some additional fat to the mixture (pork fatback or bacon are probably the best options here.)
Best option in my opinion, get a used Masterbuilt Electric Digital Smoker 40inch (MES40). You can find them on Facebook garage sale, Craigslist, or other places for cheap or free.
Wash it out at a car wash.
Do the simple rewire (cut ends off 4 wires and wire nut to make 2 whole wires) and then...
I thought it was really really good. I think they thought I was crazy. On the drive up there I was looking at the menu showed you can order by the half pound or pound. I was going to sit in the restaurant but you can only order that way to go.
So I ordered a half pound of brisket, half pound of...
Good question.
It seems that many electric smokers like the Masterbuilt's are designed so that the stock controller will give you an AVERAGE temp rather than hit and hold dead on.
So if you set 250F temp the controller will allow it to shoot up to like 265F and then drop down to like 235F...
First off I want to wish all our Canadian friends and members no mater where you are, a Happy Thanksgiving 2023
So this was a little get together for some of the family ( well most are now living here so not a long drive for them this year )
And a wish you were here to a couple family that we...
Had family coming over for Turkey Day so decided to make some stack sticks to feast on before the feast. I bought the seasonings from Owens BBQ website. It was tough deciding as they have many blends to choose from. I decided on Original, Hot Honey, 7 pepper, and Bloody Mary. The favorite was...
Total waste of beer for sure. One time I dropped like $40 for water pan ingredients for smoked turkey. 2G apple cider, bottle of brandy, whole spices, lemons, oranges, what have you. Smelled incredible while smoking but yielded ZERO taste or aroma in finished product. Oh man I was mad.
In...
I only vacuum pack a few times a year. When making sausage, jerky. I have gone through 2 vac sealers in the past 10 years. First on was relatively cheap $120 and plastic broken. I invested a little more the next time and caught the product at the end of its manufacturing life. Avid Armor...
Hello I’m looking for advice on if I can smoke a 18 pound turkey at about 200 degree Fahrenheit. I’ve smoke dozens of bricks of cheese and sausage but never a full turkey. Just want to know if I could at that temperature, how long it would probably take or if I’d be wasting my time. Thanks
That is awesome, it looks like one of those YouTube Epic Cooks; Turkey wrapped in bacon, stuffed with chicken, stuffed with game hen, stuffed with sausage :emoji_laughing:. Very cool idea and it looks delicious! Great cook!

I cured wet for probably close to 20 years. Almost always corned beef and pastrami, but a slab of pork belly every great once in a while. Curing wet creates perfectly good meat.
When I found this site, I branched out into dry curing. First thing I dry cured was a corned beef. The...
