    Not new to smoking, just trying to figure out something

    Using wood in an offset is a practice in babysitting. I have to feed it every 20-30 min. I think those that leave it for hours at a time are using charcoal in a basket with something like the minion method. I use splits so dont know much abt doing it that way.

    Butifarra Soledeña

    Interesting. Sounds good and nice basic seasoning. Love to try it sometime. What is the purpose of the cure if you boil or grill right away and dont allow cure to work?

    What happened to A-Maze-N??

    Unlike their made in China grills, they are trying to let you know the pellets are made in USA. Not sure what is wrong with the colors. It is called the Freedom blend and it matches. Not like it is a US flag they are burning. Probably hoping for some carryover to the sale of their smokers. Like...

    motorized stuffer recommendations

    I also have the 10 lb LEM motorized. Debated on electric or not, glad I went in that direction as it is so nice having both hands free to stuff with. Then I debated 10 or 20 lb. Decided on the 10 because I dont think the 20 can do snack stix and I dont usually do much more than 20 or 25 lbs at a...

    Yummy Brisket (first time, curious about what you all would change/do)

    I think both your questions are personal preference. I make my own rub and there are many to choose from. Jeff (owner of site)has a texas rub that is good on brisket you can buy. A lot if people prefer pepper based rubs. I try to tend to avoid those with a lot of sugar because it burns so...

    Cable Railing

    It will be stainless cables, possibly black stainless. Good to know about the elevator cables but i am pretty sure they would be uncoated or galvanized plus too large diameter. Posts will be powder coated. Lots of different configurations of running and attaching the cables. I will look into the...

    Cable Railing

    Has anyone installed cable railing on their deck? I plan on doing it myself but having issues finding someplace that doesnt want your first born just for the materials. It will be about a 175' length with one set of stairs. I have gotten a couple of material quotes that want >$20k, which I find...

    Homeowners insurance and a roof ?

    AmFam sent me an email saying they would no longer cover my roof for replacement value starting next renewal, just depreciated worth (so basically nothing) even though it is only 14 years old. Last renewal cycle they changed my roof coverage to 1% of insured value which comes out to a very large...

    Cocktails Thread

    I have a couple bottles of Thomas Handy Sazerac Rye I have been waiting for a special occasion to open. Just finished one called Chicken Cock which was pretty good and has an interesting back story to its history. Been lucky lately and have found some Bookers and plan on giving one bottle to my...

    What should I ask for?

    The LEM electric 10# I just bought auto reverses a little bit to relieve the pressure when I release the foot pedal so the mince doesnt ooze. To start again just press the pedal. Dont know if thats the case on newer bigger size stuffers. It is way nicer than the hand 5#er I have. Sounds to me...
