    Powdered smoke flavor versus liquid

    I have tried the hickory smoke powder several times, not for jerky, but for steaks, fajitas and the like on my gas grill to get a little more flavor going. Works good, A little goes a long way

    Slicing Bacon Against the Grain

    I used to cure bellies by cutting in half before curing to fit my 200$ slicer. If I didn't put a toothpick in the cut sides I couldn't tell end from end. I finally sliced a half belly with the grain and couldn't tell the difference after cooking.. The grain is what I call "omnidirectional" in...

    Homemade Deli Ham

    I had an extra pork loin after putting up 25 lbs of canadian bacon. We had seen a YT video of someone making a baked deli style ham out of a pork loin that looked good so wth? Used the remainder of the brown sugar cure we had along with SPG. Vacuum sealed and let cure for 3 weeks. Baked it at...

    Authentic Mexican Shrimp Cocktail

    In San Antonio, and other places, it's called a campechana. I make ours with oysters (if in season) shrimp and maybe crawfish tails. Mixed in with pico de gallo, cocktail sauce, horseradish, and sliced avocados.

    Beef Clod

    Shoulder clods are my go to when doing a LOT of beef. I've even broken them down and got nice flat iron steaks out of them, and a couple of nice roasts for two. Rest of it ground it down for hamburger meat.

    Slicing meat thin

    Just about the only way you're going to do that is with a laser. I have a Hobart 16" commercial slicer that will just tear up fresh smoked bacon. I have to chill it hours before slicing it.

    Meyers sausage Elgin, TX

    Another good "Texas" style sausage is made in San Antonio by Kiolbassa. That's a family name, not a takeoff of the type of sausage. The larger HEB stores carry it for sure, our HEB Pantry store is hit or miss. They make a good Polish style pork sausage, a beef/pork sausage, some kind of sausage...

    'Cure' vs. 'Curing Salt'

    And the pink color helps to see if it's fully distributed with the regular salt and sugar in a cure mixture

    Shrimp and Grits...

    I use 1/2 milk and 1/2 water in making my grits. Always creamier than just using water. And rinse the pot out asap or the stuff will set up like concrete

    Soliciting opinions on PK360 vs Masterbuilt 560

    I've had both. The PK grill is perfect for several steaks, hamburgers and the like. It's too small for smoker use. But it's built like a tank and will last forever. The 560 and it's bigger brothers have better control over the heat/smoke and don't require as much tending to. If you go that...

    Charcoal question - B&B

    B&B is a good brand, been around since 1961 in Texas. Duraflame bought it out a couple years ago, maybe that's why it's being seen in new locations.
