    Anyone own one of these

    Interesting concept but I will believe it when I see it. Looks pricey as well. Maybe I can convince someone I know with disposable cash to get one then show me. :emoji_laughing: JC :emoji_cat:

    Hoppin' John

    I got a BBQ book from the Green Bay public library and it had some non-BBQ recipes included. I came across a recipe for Hoppin' John. I never heard of it before but it sounded interesting so I did a bit more research and then made this Southern style Soul Food for dinner. It was fantastic! I...

    Red's Newest Build: A Direct-Heat Smoker/Grill

    Looking good Red. Is it difficult to maintain proper temp in a unit like this? I never used this type of cooker but having live coals right under the cook area makes me think that temps would get too high. Maybe my thoughts are much ado about nothing. Looking forward to seeing your first...

    Bacon slicer

    This is the one I have. Don't recall paying nearly this much for it though. Works great on everything I have tried to slice with it. Got this when a friends $300 slicer took a dump after less than a year of use. I figured I won't have to buy a new slicer for the rest of my life with this...
