    Stand-alone smoke generator

    I love how everything is tightly packaged. I spent hours working out how I would package everything - it made sense at the planning stage but it could be a lot better.

    Stand-alone smoke generator

    It got up to 375c, 700f quickly. The cheap roasting pan warped out of shape, I'm going to need a cast iron pot. I will need to relocate the solenoid because it gets very hot under the bottom. I basically tacked everything together with small screws. I will use larger screws once everything...

    Stand-alone smoke generator

    I tried it out yesterday and had the thermal couple wired backwards so it didn't work. I took a guestimate on the temperature and used two small chunks of hickory. Lots of white smoke that eventually turned blue. My wife liked the ribs, kids loved the smoke flavour but I couldn't eat them.

    Jerky For My Granddaughter

    I love cooking for my friends and family. I'm always asking what everyone wants. My 11 yr Granddaughter never asks for anything so it surprised me she asked for jerky. Last Sunday was the first time I used my smoker this year and it was for the jerky she and I prepared. Simple things but...

    Salt % in Jerky

    FatMiewChef blog has a great sodium-to-salt calculator. I like soy/ws but struggled with consistency. His calculator ensures repeatability regardless of the meat weight. https://fatmiewchef.blogspot.com/p/sodium-to-salt-calculator-for.html

    Donairs is what we call them, Yero, or Gyro by other areas ( plus Dessert )

    I had a summer job working around the Bedford Basin in 1979. I wandered into a restaurant looking for my normal burger and the counter guy convinced me to try a Donair. I was hooked!

    Country-Style Breakfast Sausage

    I made this recipe yesterday, and they were delicious. They reminded me of the breakfast sausages I enjoyed growing up. I used less salt to suit our tastes.

    80 Year Old Slicer

    I bought an 80-year-old Berkel H manual slicer. It is built exceptionally well, weighs 31 kg, and cuts excellently. Push the handle forward, the blade spins, and the carriage moves forward. Pull it back, the blade reverses, and the carriage moves back. The thin blade is razor sharp thanks to...
