    Pork Egg Rolls

    We eat egg rolls all the time, and we like shrimp, and we use those frozen baby shrimp. But the key is to use fresh cabbage and shred it yourself. BIG difference between that and the store bought mix. We use 5 spice in our recipe, but as said, just a pinch! Al

    Exterior Protection

    I just sprayed the outside down with WD-40, and the inside with Pam when I had a Lang. But now with the R/T, since everything is s/s, I really don’t do anything to the outside, but do keep the grates and drip pan sprayed with Pam. Not a fan of foiling everything to keep it clean, but do use pans...

    I’m assuming they were bone in butts, if so then you are fine. Just keep on smoking them. Al

    Pork butt prices and quality

    Just go to the meat counter at Publix & ask for a 2 pack around 18 lbs. They will be cryo’d & they are very good quality. I think they are on sale this week for $1.99 Al

    Colds smoked salmon questions / diagnosis

    When I make lox I always use cure #1, just for safety reasons. If the CC is getting too hot a couple of frozen ice jugs will keep it cool. Al

    HALP, Ribs &football on a cold day

    If you have a welding blanket or a friend who does, just drape it over the CC & keep adding charcoal & wood. You will need a big fire. Good luck & keep us posted! Also there is no shame in finishing them in the oven! Al

    Bacon curing in fridge, lack of liquid in bag?

    Happens all the time, Don’t know why there is more juice in some bags than others, but they all turn out good. If you vacuumed the bags, you won’t see much moisture at all. I vacuum mine, but not tight so the juice can move around in the bag. It would be just the same in a zip lock bag, but I...

I do have a few chef’s that bring there personal knives, and quite a few foodies with expensive knives. So, I start out checkin out the knife & seeing how it will or will not...

    Ken Onion Grinder Attachment

    Yes Ryan, I have 2 of them, they work much better than the smaller unit that comes with the KO. You can get the belts from Red Label abrasives. Better quality than the KO belts, & much cheaper. I started a home sharpening business with those units. They get used 3-4 times a week for an hour or...

    King Mattress

    All I can say is we had a waterbed for in Ft. Lauderdale for 35 years and loved it. Went to a motionless one the last 10 years. Then moved to Sebring & Judy wanted a new bed , so I haven’t slept since. That was almost 20 years ago. I’d give anything to get my waterbed back! Al
