    Bear Mountain pellets

    tallbm Thanks. I was going with bear mountain for the convenience of getting a better pellet over the less quality ones local. Would have to drive at least a hour to get Lumber Jacks. Was not aware of the Cookin Pellets & Kingsford pellets. I drive past lowes on way to work. I do want a 100%...

    Bear Mountain pellets

    Don't have a bunch of experience using wood pellets except TSC corn cobb horse bedding for cold smoking bacon. Have always used chunked wood. Looking for 100% hickory wood pellets. Found them at TSC but had to order the hickory pellets. Same price as if picking up in store. They seem to have...

    Flaming Fatty

    Sometimes I just mix up a batch of boxed mac & cheese for a simple quick & easy fatty. It’s always good with the smoked sausage & bacon. Plus there is so many varieties to change things up. Ran across this mix an thought spicy fatty. Made mac & cheese by directions. Put in frig to cool down...

    Dogs, Kraut, w-Stuffed Shrooms

    Those dogs almost look good enough for me to eat one. Sorry but I can’t stand hotdogs. Leaves more for others that enjoy them. I do eat more than my share of kraut. I’d tear up the shrooms though.

    Venison dry beef

    Thanks Bear. Owe it all to you. The gasser takes around 15 hours to get to temp. With the needle valve it takes quite a few adjustments to get right temp but always comes out great after a few days rest in frig.

    First BBB & using cure #1

    That is a understate for me yesterday. Kept thinking did I put the decimal point in right place? Did I use the % at the right time? Double checking myself. A lot of double takes on the notes. Plus a few scribbles. :emoji_astonished: 1.8 grams compared to 1.5Tbs.(22.5 grams) A lot of second...

First piece weighed 708 grams. To that I rubbed 1.8 gr cure #1, 9 gr salt & 7.1 gr brown sugar. Rounded everything...
