    DC Half Smokes-Need recipe please

    Lived in or right outside DC most of my life and have had many half smokes. As far as I can tell, you start off making a half beef, half pork Kielbasa. Make sure it's at least half fat. And cut the seasonings by at least half. Then smoke it for a half hour. Then simmer it half the day in a vat...

    Future chicken dinner? NOT!

    Too funny!! My late brother-in-law was a tough as nails cop with the emotions of a sledgehammer. One year he bought a young calf to raise for meat. The next time I visited he was out in the pasture walking a 1200lb steer ON A LEASH. I asked my sister if he'd gone bonkers, and she sighed and told...

    Lamb ribs and chicken thighs

    Went to Wally World the other day and saw what appeared to be little tiny baby back ribs. Upon closer inspection, the package was called "Lamb Breast". I'd had this before, but without the ribs attached. I figured it'd be a good candidate for a dip in the sous vide jacuzzi. Started off at...

    Just a test

    Thanks guys! Was just playing around with a new camera and figured I'd try and remember how to post photos here. Been a while. I'll see if I can get a write up of the whole cook done today.

    “Eggs Bubbadict”. It’s whats for breakfast.

    Ok, sorry for the silly name, but it’s all I could come up with. Was recently down in Saint Simons Island, GA, and came up with a twist on eggs Benedict I think y’all will enjoy. Take a buttermilk biscuit (DO NOT use canned biscuits) and cut it in half. Top each half with about 3 ounces of...

    Chuck roast and beef stew

    Got about a 4lb chuck roast on sale so I decided to try Bearcarver’s time and temp to sous vide it. I was going by memory, but I think I got it right, 21 hours at 132° followed by a quick sear in cast iron. I even used Lipton beefy onion soup mix to season it. The texture was amazing! I had...

    Sous vide and smoked pork butt.

    Decided to try a little experiment and combine sous vide and smoking. Got a little 3lb butt on sale, seasoned it up with salt, pepper and some low salt rub I found at the store. I think it’s called “Original Back yard BBQ seasoning”. Prettt good stuff. Thursday evening I vacuum sealed it and...

    Anova Nano review. (One month in)

    Thanks guys! I might try the ice water bath next time I do a filet. As for the sear being too long, maybe, but It was only about 30 seconds per side. This was a Chateaubriande cut, about a pound and a half, so I seared all 4 sides. Did the exact same thing with the larger half of the strip...

    Anova Nano review. (One month in)

    This review is aimed at people on the fence about trying sous vide. The wife got me a Nano for my birthday in December. I'd been curious about Sous Vide, but a bit dubious about the wild claims of prime rib tender chuck roast and melt in your mouth chicken. My experience has been that usually...

    Anova 900W

    I have the Anova nano and can definitely see/hear the water circulating. The bottom should come off the unit with a twist/ pull motion. Remove it and you can check the impeller. Maybe something is blocking it? Hope you get it sorted out. I got mine for my birthday a week before Christmas and...
Great deal on LEM Grinders!
