    Who else has work buddies?

    There is more than one kind of animal cruelty. Good on your property owner for having them fixed. You are in a warm clime so they don't suffer the severe winters we have here. Our neighbor lady had her mostly indoor cat tore up pretty good by a feral last summer. Cost her a good chunk of change...

    Who else has work buddies?

    I'll be that guy. I have no time for feral cats. Besides the high probability of carrying disease they most likely carry fleas, mites and other undesirable critters. Our neighborhood is literally being over run by them. We have a lady down the street who feeds them so they keep hanging around...

    Smoked salt

    Get yourself a cocktail smoker. Instead of a cocktail put salt in the glass. Once you got smoke in the glass shake the glass around to get all the salt exposed. Only takes a few minutes and the smoke is heavy enough the salt really absorbs it. I have done lots of things this way. Salt, crushed...

    I’m over thinking this

    Not familiar with the Akorn or how it works so I can't tell you how to monitor your chamber temps. What is the internal temp of the meat? And why are you determined to cook butts at 225? Some cookers run fine at certain temps and struggle holding others. Sounds like yours struggles holding 225...

    Smashed Burger...

    Hard to beat a good smashburger. I'm surprised they don't show up on more bar/pub menu's. I discovered sometime ago to smash the burger before putting it on the griddle. Keeps all the juices in the burger. Then I just rest the smash tool on top of the burger to make sure it is all making contact...

    This should be fun!

    You did well there! Our grandson has the exact one minus the bucket. He logs hour after hour on that thing. He keeps it up at our lake place and uses it every weekend. He always wants to go out in the woods and gather kindling in the trailer for starting the camp fire. He also has a Denali truck...

    Oakridge BBQ Quitting Business!

    I appreciate Jeff letting this thread continue and for those who have responded from keeping it overtly political even though it's a overtly political subject. From reading the reactions across the internet on various forums Mike is getting much support emotionally and now financially through...

    Getting This Bad Boy Monday

    I have the Vacmaster Duo 550. It's a chamber vac and a suction vac for sealing things to long to fit in the chamber like salmon fillets. I use the chamber 90% of the time. I've had this for 7 or 8 years now and no problems Vacmaster is good stuff you will be very pleased. Chamber vac bags are...

    Oakridge BBQ Quitting Business!

    This is a terrible shame. Mike sent out a email yesterday notifying his customers he is closing shop on 12/31 this year or when his inventory runs out. Mike cited reasons as the terrible economy and product sourcing which is only part of and masking a problem that started about a year ago...

    Masterbuilt Gravity Series Smokers Are a Quality Control Nightmare; My Review

    The best customer service is the one you never need has been my experience. Camp Chef probably has the best customer service I've ever dealt with but it doesn't negate the fact that I needed them in the first place. Sent me a camp stove with a big dent in the front plate. They gave me a cash...

    Pork with sauerkraut.

    Quality ingredients there. I can't speak for the kraut as we don't have that brand around here. I buy Frank's kraut in the bag. Nice choice on the San Marzano tomatoes. We had a Oktoberfest party yesterday I did the kraut and sausage. I always peel a couple potatoes and let them oxidize on the...

    Creekstone Farms Ribs

    I discovered that if you read the entire description it tells you if the item is shipped fresh or frozen. In the case of my prime rib roast it says it ships fresh. Which worked out fine as I wet aged it for another 14 days then sliced ten 1" thick steaks from it and was still left with a five...

    Traditional offset, top down cooking, to baffle or not to baffle

    I'm not familiar with the top down reference I'm guessing it means with the door closed? Collector at grate level meaning the exhaust at grate level? You may or may not need a baffle but for a 24X28 offset I would go with tuning plates rather than just one baffle at the fire box opening into the...

    Help. Looking at a chamber sealer

    I have the Vacmaster Duo 550 it's a chamber vac and a suction sealer for things that won't easily fit in the chamber like a long fish fillet. Had it for 7 years maybe more. No issues with it at all. I rarely find use for the suction part but it's there if I need it.

    Camp Chef leg snaps

    CC customer service is top notch I'd give them a call they can probably sell you some or may just mail them out to you.

    Smoked Turkey Breast

    Looks very nice! I haven't done a turkey breast in awhile I need to change that. Used to do the fresh ones all the time. I'd brine them first and smoke them as a second protein choice to ribs or brisket when I was doing a catering gig. I was buying by the case at the time through a food service...

    Camp Chef griddle owners experiences please?

    Have you considered getting the Camp Chef camp stove with the griddles. You can remove the griddles and store them inside the house in a closet or something when not in use? You can get the storage bags for them as well so they won't get oil on anything else. I have the Camp Chef Pro 90X camp...

    2 New Smoker/Grills from Camp Chef Today!

    I'd like to look out my window and see those two pallets being dropped off in my driveway. It is rather sad they don't make them here in America. I have a number of Camp Chef products mainly a camp stove/griddle and some cast iron and have been happy with it. For quite awhile now I will scour...

    Quality Budget Friendly Trailer Smokers

    Keep an eye on the various and numerous smoking forums classified section. Lots of good independent fabricators out there that will list in the classified sections. That’s how I found mine. I think your going to need to look for used if you are on a smaller budget. If possible build a fire and...

    The last go-round of high oil prices....

    I think the plan is to have them run on batteries the same as the Airbus cargo planes.
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
