Whole chicken wet salt brine time?
I'm late to the party but my never fail equilibrium brine method is: Get Total Weight in grams Weight of bird (or chicken parts) in grams + (plus) Weight of water (1 gallon weighs 8.333lbs or 3,780gm) that you know will cover chicken in your container/tub Measure out 1.65% of that weight in...- tallbm

Exploring Low Carb, Healthy Fat, Moderate Protein Diet - Not Keto Quite Yet
I just made a batch of keto yogurt this past week. Been a while and was more of a fun project for the girlfriend to enjoy. I use the instant pot and already had 4-6 oz of the last batch saved and frozen but I still have the starter culture (Probiotic Mild Yogurt Starter Culture ABY-2C). I use...- tallbm

2 rounds of microwave and the 10 min good flame up solved everything for me. Also getting good airflow holes nailed in mailbox mod. Takes a little work to sort out but once u get it sorted it is consistent.- tallbm

Having smoke issues with A-Maze-N Smoker Tray - MES40
What pellets (wood and brand) are you using, and are what is your pellet drying/microwaving process like? Also what is your pellet lighting process like? For example. I put my pellets in the microwave for 1min 25 sec. When done ai PULL THEM OUT ( to avoid steam build up) and stir them around...- tallbm

More Oven Butt
That looks fantastic! I'm glad you posted this to show folks you can do amazing pork butt in the oven basically the same way but minus the smoke (people can dabble with liquid smoke if needed). FYI, I do briskets the same way. I prefer the food from the smoker but sometimes time and weather... -

Foil boat...maybe? Spritz?
When I do beef that needs help in situations like you mention, I smoke it unwrapped to 180-190F depending on how it is behaving. I then foil with about 1-2 oz of water and the foil is air tight. That does the trick for me providing all the flavor and the tenderness without drying out. Smoke... -
Adding Jalapeno to Summer Sausage
I've only done jalapeno in sausage one time and it came out well for what it was. When I researched this same question I landed on using dried jalapeno. 1 pound ran me $21 on amazon. They are unavailable on Amazon now but found the same ones I got for the same price on Walmart.com... -

Pork "rib" nomenclature definitions?
I don't ever remove any of that tissue. It just cooks up well and especially in stewed and simmered dishes that stuff basically melts away into flavor. Well the real top layer fat may stay somewhat intact but renders nicely. Feel free to give it a try with your next pork stew or some grilled... -
Pork "rib" nomenclature definitions?
Hahhaha probably :P The beef ribs that are like this are always just called "Boneless Beef Ribs" in my area. I never see them labeled as Country Style Beef Ribs. They just take a chuck and cut it into strips. :D -
Pork "rib" nomenclature definitions?
I think the pork butt ones will be best eating (all CSR's here are from that cut). Honestly, you can save money per pound by just buying a pork butt and cutting your own. IF, you want that much meat. There are pork butt sales here about every 2-3 weeks at least at one of the various grocery... -
Pork "rib" nomenclature definitions?
When you see "Country Style" it's not actually ribs. Around here they just cut up a Pork Butt/Pork Shoulder/Boston Butt (all the same thing lol), and they call it country style ribs. Some can be boneless or bone in. It just depends on whether they were slicing through the bone of th epork... -
Wood blends
Very interesting but yeah they do charge a good bit for 1 pound of the stuff hahahaha. Might be worth getting 1 pound of of some of those flavors just to play around with. I still never burned through most of my old "blends" that I bought when I got into all of this. You know back before...- tallbm

Wood blends
Yeah Oak seems to be the easy button because it burns well, smoke is forgiving, and well everything about it is consistent and simple. Everyone uses it here and I've been burnt out on Oak since I was like 6 years old hahaha. I am so glad I discovered the joys of Maple and it is my equivalent...- tallbm

Wood blends
Hi there and welcome! Yeah I'm a big fan of doing my own blends. I run an electric smoker and use the A-Maze-N Pellet Smoker (AMNPS) tray that burns wood pellets. I use pellet brands that are 100% of the wood mentioned on the label and then make my own blends. Well I do use a few premade...- tallbm
