    What in the Sweet Baby Jesus is going on? Meat prices.

    Actually there could be a pretty deep discussion on the topic. In truth though it is part political policy over the last decade or so, part generational in that way fewer young people are willing to or even can get into ranching or meat production with land prices as they are, and then it’s...

    Kielbasa Lisiecka\Kielbasa Czosnkowa - Garlic Sausage

    Cure # 1 has nitrite, cure # 2 has nitrate. They are not interchangeable. Nitrite is for short curing (30 days or less) nitrate is for long curing as in salami or long aged meat like a dry cure ham. Nitrite works on the meat directly, while nitrate does not and needs interaction with bacteria...

    Good shrimp on grill recipe?

    Believe it or not but zesty Italian dressing is darn good to (works wonders on chicken to) just be mindful of the vinegar content (acid)

    Good shrimp on grill recipe?

    If you use acid like soy sauce, citrus or wine or combination of those just go maybe 15 or 20 minutes then to the grill.

    Good shrimp on grill recipe?

    Great thing about shrimp is they really take on any flavor marinade. Just be careful of anything acidic for to long as it will chemically “cook” the shrimp. Otherwise it comes down to flavor choice. We like marinade in many forms: Beer and garlic White wine and garlic Tequila lime and salt...

    Smoked Salmon

    Enjoying fruit of your labor. Looks delicious and the seasoning is spot on. Really looking forward to more fish cooks from you with that haul you made. I’ve made stuffed salmon too a couple different ways that was excellent.

    Kielbasa Lisiecka\Kielbasa Czosnkowa - Garlic Sausage

    To answer your question. Your European curing salt contains .6% nitrite which is different than our cure #1 which contains 6.25% nitrite, that’s a huge difference. Your .6% curing salt is designed to be added as a salt percentage, so by adding it you get both the salt and nitrite in one step...

    My 1st Whole Brisket on the Offset — Lessons in Bark, Smoke & Rest

    Just a thought. Maybe it needed 205 or 208 or 210. Just 2 to 3 degrees can make a huge difference. How do you know? Probe only and use IT as a guide but not absolute. For the most part a dry flat means not all of the collagen had broken down or melted yet. If you cook a brisket too long it...

    Charlie Kirk shot : update and killed

    Most nights in the summer we sleep with front door open ( screen door closed) to keep air flow. Never a concern for safety, and as I’d hope for everyone.

    Charlie Kirk shot : update and killed

    All of this is not new. It’s cultural rot. Been around for a very long time. Going back in the Time Machine let’s recall the 1960’s which was a blood bath. People assassanated for their views and first Amendment rights. Off the top of my head, Medgar Evers, Martin Luther, JFK, Bobby Kennedy...

    Remembering 9/11

    Best country God ever gave man. This is a spectacular place despite all the crazy stuff going on. No place to run to, no place to hide. I’ll fight for it if I have to. Love this land.

    Remembering 9/11

    I was on a location digging a house foundation. Listened all morning and day on the radio. We had no clue at first. Thought it may be a nation wide attack. Came home that night and watched news channels all night drinking it in. It was unreal at the time. I really thought of enlisting but after...
