Chile,
Always plan on the storm being at least 1 cat stronger than they anticipate. NOAA is pretty good on the storm track but a SQAG on the wind intensity. Been thru a few of these with the eye of 3 hurricanes going over my house. If you are near the water and a lower elevation it is time to...
Good to see we are up and running again. After this hurricane season we could all use some down time.
Keith, I'll be happy to help out with the meat sticks.

I missed this conversation; Glad to hear everyone faired well. We had about the same hear, lost power for 3 days and a major landscape clean-up. Not everyone in Fla was so lucky.

Idaho,
I have only used it the one time so far. The plate on my is not flush either. I just checked the tightness on mine, once the ring is tightened I could not turn the auger by hand either. I would say it is normal as mine worked great on the first grind last week.
I was very happy with...
Keith,
We are so sorry to hear this news, please let Charollet know we are thinking of her. I know how difficult this is as we lost Carly over the 4th of July Holiday. She became sick very fast, ended up as liver cancer. We were heartbroken to lose her.
Ann's friend was fostering a 7 month...

Keith,
Thanks for the tip. I have a MES 30 smoker. I also have a Masterbuilt gas smoker but it needs some repairs.
Pit,
The grinder arrived today. I haven't used it yet but it looks to be well built and surprised by the weight. As far as the stainless goes, only the knife is stainless. The 3...
The Kitchener #12 electric grinder is on sale at Northern tool. Regularly $129, on sale for $69. Got a $10 off coupon from their website so brought it down to $59.
We don't have a Northern Tool store near here so had to order on line. Even with shipping it is a good deal.
Looking forward to...
Thanks for the recipes Gearloose,
All my recipes call for beer and once in a while some goes in the mix, mostly they are for the cook.
I would think they were too spicy from the cayenne pepper not the beer. I usually have to cut the amount of pepper in half to suite my taste.
I'll give these...
I have a 5 lbs Gander Mountain stuffer with nylon gears. So far no troubles.
Had a problem with a LEM dehydrator under warranty. One phone call, free shipping and it was fixed.
I was quite pleased with their customer service.

Thank you for the info. I figured Kosher salt would be the same no matter who's brand. That explains why some recipes end up being so much saltier than expected. I need to change brands.
Great info.
