    Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage…My first sausage attempt…

    I would recommend checking out Duncan Henry's Marianski March as well as 2 Guys and a Cooler - Celebrate Sausage series on YouTube. Great information and useful recipes throughout

    Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage…My first sausage attempt…

    There's a whole world of recipes out there. Check out the Marianski brothers Meats and Sausages website for a TON of information and recipes. There's also a bunch of recipes floating around smoking meat as well. So far I've found that everyone here has been exceptionally helpful and ready to...

    Jalapeño Cheddar Sausage…My first sausage attempt…

    Ah yes, the Jalapeno cheddar smokie. So many parallels to my sausage making journey. It's actually the first sausage I made after watching the meatchurch video, I did it with a kitchenaid grinder stuffed into collagen casings, AND I did them on my Traeger too! The only difference is that since I...

    Cheddar cheese powder

    I had the same issue with finding high temp and switched to Sunspun ribbon cheese. It's a processed cheese so when you cook it in a sausage, it doesn't turn into a greasy mess. Instead it turns into a really nice creamy cheese that stays in the pocket. I picked up the tip from Duncan Henry's...

    Dry Cure Bacon

    Sorry for the delay all! Life got in the way. Since I had other meats curing and near ready to go in to the smoker I pulled the belly at 7 days and threw it in the smoker with cherrywood pellets in a tray. I smoked it for 6 hours and slowly brought up to an internal temp of 137f before...

    Dry Cure Bacon

    Thanks all! Life is a bit different now. No more worrying about the landlord selling the house and having to find a new place to live. Or being limited on what I can do to the place. I'm sure learning a LOT of new things. Drywall, stucco repair, painting, finish trim, sealing windows, installing...

    Dry Cure Bacon

    I have been away from the forums for quite some time now. A fair amount has changed in my life since the start of 2026 - all for the better I might add. I transitioned to a new job that has a better work-life balance, but the biggest change was that we finally purchased our first home. We moved...

    Deep Fryer

    I didn't know they had a stainless container. We tend to wait until the next morning to open the drain to filter it, but it can only take so much. We really do use it a lot. I ran the valve under hot water while opening it by hand. I also blew it out with compressed air. That seemed to help...

    Deep Fryer

    We have the same t-fal deep fryer. We use it a LOT. So much so that I think we're on our 3rd one in 14 years. We do wings just about once a week. We also use it for schnitzel, fries, and fish. Aside from the element eventually packing it in, we've had issues with the drain function not working...

    Serrano

    We mainly use Serrano's in the various Indian curries we make. Chicken with pickling spice comes to mind.

    Hot Weather

    So far the heat wave has all been east of the Rockies and it's been relatively mild here in BC. I don't think we've had many days where it broke 30c so far. I agree with inda, get a window rattler or a portable unit and put it in the bedroom. That way you can at least sleep at night!

    So...Triple D featured my local Butcher Shop- Iverstine's

    Ah right you are! It is a Camero. I was going off my apparently failing memory. When they were shooting my friends episode, the one that was being used apparently couldn't go over 30 mph. That's what I mean by bagged out.

    So...Triple D featured my local Butcher Shop- Iverstine's

    Triple D featured my friends bakery "The Pie Hole" a few years back. Apparently his flight was re-routed a bit and my buddy had to pick him up. Guy was not pleased by the delay. My buddy had an hour or so to chat with Guy. Fun fact, the red mustang he drives in the intro is shipped to the...

    Two small Bellies smoked this morning

    I actually just did up a belly last week. Had to restock the supply!

    lets talk coffee grinders

    I have the OXO grinder and have been using it for about a year now. It's considerably quieter than the old Kenmore I used to have. Granted, it's grinding beans so it's still pretty loud. You can adjust the machine to give you a very fine grind, but we only do drip brew so medium grind is about...

    Fresh Morels and Iowa Pork Chop

    They're really prolific the year after a fire and a lot of people pick them to sell to buyers around here. Heck we have pickers coming from across the country since it's a fairly decent under the table cash economy. Back when the fires were near where I live, I had assembled a number of...

    Fresh Morels and Iowa Pork Chop

    The last time I picked fire morels, I got a touch over 30lbs in one day. While l love them with chops, they REALLY don't like me or my wife. They can be a potent laxative for some of us.

    Options for building new smoker

    I've been away from the forum for some time now and a fair amount has changed for me. We moved to my hometown after purchasing our first house, and I've been doing a lot of renos to take care of the small things inside. I have to do a lot of landscaping work as well. That said, it's time I...

    Jerk Thighs

    P Dreadie is the one that I have. I used to post a lot on thehotpepper forums and many of the folks there were kind enough to share seeds as long as you send a SASBE. I'd suggest giving some bonnets a try and seeing what you think.

    Jerk Thighs

    We absolutely love Jerk pork and chicken here. So much so that I went out of my way to get some Jamaican Ministry of Agriculture Scotch Bonnet seeds and grow them myself. Habanero's simply aren't the same, but are often recommended as a substitute. The actual seeds used to be fairly hard to...
