    Lumberjack Pellets

    Agree with all the others, never had a problem with LJ pellets. Tried other brands, but IMHO, LJ is the best pellet out there. Al

    Temp drop overnight

    You should be fine. Just keep cooking it. Here is an article that explains everything. As long as it wasn’t boneless & you didn’t inject it your good to go. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/my-smoker-died-is-my-meat-safe.302466/ Al

    Frozen ribs

    Your ribs look delicious 🤤! It’s great to be able to have ribs on the spur of the moment! I have done this several times since, & the only drawback I can see is you can’t do any pre-trimming. On the plus side, I think the ribs retain more moisture when cooking from frozen! Al

    I Want to have another go at homemade cold smoked salmon have some safety concerns.

    I have been making lox for quite a while & always use a bit of instacure #1 in it for safety reasons. Here is my method, hope this helps. https://www.smokingmeatforums.com/threads/homemade-lox-with-recipe-steps-plenty-of-q-view.106029/ Al

    Tri Tip Tri Tip Tri Tip

    That’s some fine looking tri-tip, Brian! Have you looked at Publix or asked the butcher at Publix? Our Publix has been stocking them for quite some time, even if they don’t have them they can order them for you. Or you can get USDA Prime tri-tip from wild Fork foods. Happy Thanksgiving! Al

    Welcome Thermoworks!!!!

    @ThermoWorks, welcome to SMF as a sponsor. We use several of your products, including a 13 year old Thermapen, several thermopops, & 10 year old smoke. Everything is still accurate, and except for occasional battery changes, we have had zero issues with any of your products. Al

    Costco pork bellies -- Skin On?

    Here is a great video on how to skin a belly. He makes it look easy, but I have tried it & it works, much like skinning a fish. You just need a curved knife so you don’t cut the skin. Al

    Round Two Heading For Tampa Area (Cat 5)

    Eye went right over us, just got power & internet back. The hurricane was nothing compared to the tornado that took down our oak tree. My security cam caught the whole thing. Best part was the tree fell on my neighbor’s lawn who hates me! Karma! Al

    Round Two Heading For Tampa Area (Cat 5)

    We just went through a feeder ban with a tornado in it. It took down an oak tree in my backyard and we’re still 12 hours away from the storm. Al

    Round Two Heading For Tampa Area (Cat 5)

    The way the track is now we may get the eye wall on the dirty side. Gonna be rocking & rolling tonight. The damn wobble is just maddening. No matter the final track, we’re gonna get hammered. Won’t be the first time! Hope I’m back on here in the morning, but I doubt if we will have any internet...

    Round Two Heading For Tampa Area (Cat 5)

    Thanks Jerry, but I think we will be OK here. We have the shutters up, and a whole house gen, with 500 gallon propane tank. Everything is tied down & no worries for flooding at our elevation. The wait is the worst part. Thanks for thinking of us! Al

    Round Two Heading For Tampa Area (Cat 5)

    Now they are saying Cat 5. I have about half our stuff secured, will do the rest in the morning. Keith, I’m praying it doesn’t go North of you, that would be the worst case scenario for you. Even if it goes below you, I think the way it’s going we still will be on the worst side. Al

    Round Two Heading For Tampa Area (Cat 5)

    Good luck Keith! After Milton is done with you, it looks like he is going to mess with us, were are gonna get another eye come directly over us AGAIN!! I don’t mind the prep work, it’s the cleanup after that sucks! Al
  20. SmokinAl

    fingers crossed for anybody in the big bend of Florida.

    Prayers sent Jerry, it looks like you may be facing a Cat 5. Hopefully it spins down before it gets to you! Al
