    Could we get an "OBITUARY" section for members who have passed on...

    I too would love to see something like this happen. I met Huey (Salmon Clubber) on here and shortly after meeting, we began trip swapping. I would go to Washington for salmon fishing, and he would come to Texas for feral hog hunting. We did that for years until he passed unexpectedly in 2022...

    Made some beef tallow

    From one fat boy to another, why go to the trouble to render down fats if you aren't going to eats the results? Pork, chicken, and beef cracklins are GREAT IMO... My cardiologist may disagree, but he isn't on this forum! :emoji_sunglasses:

    Speaking of casings...

    I tried the collagen casings for SS once and went back to fibrous for the same reasons. For those that aren't aware, most of the collagen casings that are "large", basically replacements for beef middles, are recommended to be soaked from the manufacturer/supplier. I looked at some I have...

    Made some beef tallow

    I saved the fat trimmings from the last 2 briskets I made so that I could replenish our beef tallow supply. This is a really easy thing to do, and we love using it in place of some oils in recipes. Now this may not be the way you do it, but it's how I've done it for years. I start off by...

    Ashes to help control coal base overheats?

    They were basically banking the fire. The ashes will slow the oxygen rate to the flames but the embers would still smolder. If you need more heat, you stir it around a bit or add a little wood, getting too hot, add some ash to the hot zones. The fire itself goes out when the oxygen level...

    Game time snacks.... What are you munching on?

    Just went through that post and WOW! We love sloppy joe, may need to convince the bride to try this. If not her, when the boys are in town in February it'll happen.

    Game time snacks.... What are you munching on?

    It's just me and the bride at our house, so I'm in the shop watching the game and checking out SMF while she does some girly stuff in the house... Snacks for me are some summer sausage I made a few weeks ago and some cold smoked Swiss cheese from last February. Might be some Maker's involved...
