Countless homeowners around the world use firewood all year round to heat their homes. The cost of firewood fluctuates from year to year and there are many factors that influence the cost of a cord of wood. Firewood isn’t like an Apple iPhone. There’s no fixed cost.
The quality and type of wood...
I've followed the Pastrami recipe posted by Chris in the cooking section. I've cured the flat using the dry cure for 3 days. I've now rinsed off the cure prior to soaking the flat. Chris mentions that the flat should now appear red in color. Mine does not appear to be red. Does that mean it has...
How was your learning curve? I started using a stoker ii yesterday and did much more work then I did without it. I have a vault type smoker and it over shot the temperature past the point of getting it back down. I did the last half of my sausage cook yesterday with the door cracked open because...
I’m always excited to test out a new product from Thermoworks. I just love their stuff. When I found out that they were releasing a new BBQ thermometer that had two probes and a wireless receiver I couldn’t wait to jump on it. Well it has arrived and I’m really impressed. At the bottom of this...

Saran is the trade name for a number of polymers made from vinylidene chloride (especially polyvinylidene chloride or PVDC), along with other monomers. Since its accidental discovery in 1933, Saran has been used for a number of commercial and industrial products.
While the meat is browning, combine the chili powder, ancho chili powder, cumin, oregano, and allspice. Spoon a tablespoon of the bacon fat into the pot and brown a third of the cubed meat. Remove the meat as it browns, adding more fat and more raw meat. Continue this process until all meat...
Cold smoking food can be done at home and many people do it expertly, safely, and deliciously. But if you don't know what you are doing, if you don't have precision tools and precision control, you can kill. Yes, I know there are websites and books devoted to the subject, but based on my...
It took a long time for my husband to believe I was serious when I said I wanted the KitchenAid174 food grinder and sausage stuffer attachments for my KitchenAid174 Stand Mixer. I guess he thought it would be another kitchen gadget that would get used once or twice and then put away and...
